nextcloud-snap VS nextcloud

contact: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap

I have Nextcloud running in a linux server on proxmox. I i installed Nextcloud using snap. I've successfully moved my data directory using the instructions listed here. The new data pool is on a freeNAS server if that helps any. The new storage pool should be about 891G, but NextCloud is reporting only 5.7G and that it is full. By following this thread, I'm supposed to run this command

- nextcloud as a snap https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap (follow recommendations closely and change data directory among others things)

Did you try? https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/wiki/Change-data-directory-to-use-another-disk-partition

The nextcloud documentation is very good, but sometimes it doesn't specify which instructions are for snaps and which are for regular installations. Snaps are built to be immutable; in this case, this means most things you change from the server will not stick. You must make MOST admin changes from the web gui. If this doesn't sound right for you, you should go with the regular installation. You can find what's included in the snap here: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap

Follow this guide.

Here is the Git ticket I opened: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/issues/1742

https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud if you want an Ansible playbook.

Not sure about relying in Cloudron alone. Maybe there defaults are okay, but with some manual tuning you might be able to disable features of NC that you don't use and sonyou could reduce the target surfacs. I'm just a hobbyist but still went the manual way for my public home server. Sadly the tutorials of Carsten Rieger are written in German. But there are also other alternatives like Ansible playbooks (https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud) or similar for a user friendly NC install. Maybe something from this section is also of interest for you: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#self-hosting-solutions

https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud Best non docker and painless thing you can do. Up and running in 20 minutes.

If you want to go in the rabbithole (specially docker and let's encrypted), you should check out the ansible script from Reiner Nippes: https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud

Personally I have a lot of experience with Ansible so used https://github.com/ReinerNippes/nextcloud which includes PostgreSQL and Redis with Nginx secured by LetsEncrypt. Backups can also be automated via Restic and sent offsite with Rclone.
