Hello,
I am new to TrueNAS Servers and I want to set up a NAS for me and my team.
I’ve managed to set up a Pool with a Dataset called “Luebu1” and inside this dataset u have another Dataset called “mtec”.
Now I want to have a private folder for every User and a shared folder for everyone (“mtec”)
The user folders were created as a home directory in the credentials manager.
I have managed to set up a SMB share without any trouble and I managed to set up the permissions correctly.
Now I want to make my NAS available over a Dashboard from outside my network.
How can I set this up and how can I use the permission that I’ve setup already?
Ah ok that makes sense. If VPN is out of the question for whatever reason then I’d consider something like Nextcloud. This works very much like Google Drive or Dropbox if you like.
Do you have experience in setting up Nextcloud? I’ve heard many negative comments about it.
Would I’d be possible, to use my existing permission in Nextcloud, so I don’t have to set up everything twice?
I and my colleagues also wanna use SMB access because sometimes it’s easier to move files inside the explorer and would be faster when you are inside the network with your laptop.
Exactly this, really whether or not a VPN is in use. The TrueNAS web interface doesn’t let you manage your files in any event; if you want that capability, Nextcloud is the most robust way to go.
What negative comments? Really, Nextcloud or its cousin Owncloud are the only games in town for what you’re describing, but both are complex web applications. I have lots of experience setting up Nextcloud, but not under TrueNAS SCALE.
It should be; you’d use the External Storage app for that purpose IIRC.
Ive tried to install Nextcloud, but im running into a little problem.
My TrueNAS Server runs on the IP 192.168.178.250 and ive set the Nextcloud IP during the installation to 192.168.178.251 but im getting a timeout error.
I have tried adding the port, but i doesnt makes any difference
In order to be able to help you with an app issue we need to know which version of TrueNAS you have as well as exactly how you set Nextcloud up.
You mentioning assigning a different IP to Nextcloud makes me think you have an older version of SCALE or at the very least set Nextcloud up in a non-standard way.
Ive now managed to install Nextcloud successfully, but im having a little problem.
When i try to access the nextcloud dashboard i get this error:
Access via an untrusted domain
Please contact your administrator. If you are an administrator, edit the “trusted_domains” setting in config/config.php. See example in config/config.sample.php.
Further information on configuration can be found in the documentation.
I looked in the config.php, but i cant find the problem.
EDIT: I think i found the error. I have put a . instead of a : during the installation.
I changed it, but now i get redirected to the TrueNAS Login page.
Mhhhhh. I am not really sure how to use this post in relation to my Problem. Do you know if there is an .htaccess in the nextcloud installation? Maybe something is wrong there, because i instantly get redirected to the Host IP. Other Apps work just fine.
