freenas-iocage-nextcloud VS iocage

In my internet searching, I also found this guide on nextcloud installation. I didn't want to use it because I do not want to open my ports to the public, which I understand cloudflare is supposed to help me avoid.

Nextcloud, an easy way to get started is the danb35 script

Just ist this script. It's all you gonna need.https://github.com/danb35/freenas-iocage-nextcloud

I've tried using this script from DanB (https://github.com/danb35/freenas-iocage-nextcloud) but I'm missing something, newb that I am, and I can never get it to work properly.

Pains me immensely to say this, but that's the direction things have been moving in for a while now. The list of services I run on FreeBSD versus Linux hosts is steadily growing smaller. iocage hasn't had any changes in a year and a half and I'm not convinced iXsystems will still be developing CORE in the five-to-ten year timeframe.

I am was considering writing a PR for iocage but looking through the github (https://github.com/iocage/iocage) I see there have been no commits in a year and A PR for a decent features has sat waiting for review for over a year and a half. There are also open multiple PR's for bug fixes which are failing CI, with multiple contributors saying it's the CI tests that are broken, not their code.

Install https://github.com/iocage/iocage, it will make your life a lot easier

While trying to move jails between servers using iocage export and import, I found that iocage 1.2 (the currently packaged version) was reading the entire imported file into RAM. For a large jail, this is a clear problem. I found that there was a bug filed for it - and even a fix! - but a version containing the fix had not been released.

That looks like a solid guide. I use iocage to manage my jails. It takes care of a lot of details. Certainly more user-friendly for the first time getting jails set up.
