If you have all of that set up then, what benefit is there to blowing away your container and spinning up a ‘fresh’ one? I’ve never been able to wrap my head around docker, and I think this is a big part of it.

What about your preferences/configs/files (when you spun up a fresh one)?

Debian with Yunohost.

I did not see the iPad IP address in the fail2ban logs.

I don’t think so. As I said, this server is a copy of one on another domain that is still working. Also, this new server was able to validate at least once.

I am not seeing anything (relevant) in the Nextcloud logs (as viewed from the web app). In iOS I get a message about SSL verification failed, and do I want to try connecting without it. Either way it cannot validate credentials. I know the username and password are correct (tested multiple times/work to login in the browser), and the SSL cert is valid.

Also /var/log/Nextcloud/ is empty. Where else should I look for logs?

Why do you say that? I use it for my 12+ TB library and it works fine. I’m on the west coast USA, and my vps and storage box are on the east coast.

I use Hetzner storage box, mounted with rclone and it works great.

Awesome, saved.

I appreciate it. I have all my stuff at home running on Yunohost. I’m quite happy with it, but I have tried docker-based projects in the past including dockstarter. I always ended up confused. I don’t have much extra time at the moment for messing with it again, but it’s very kind of you to offer.

It’s hard for me. I’ve tried, but not had much success.

I wish it didn’t require docker :(

Somebody else mentioned it, but I want to second yunohost. That’s where I started years ago, and remain today. I run it on a box at home, and it has Nextcloud, Navidrome and a couple other things installed on it. About as easy as it gets.

For media server (Jellyfin, etc), I have tried several solutions and ended up with swizzin community edition. The hardest part was setting up the VPN to integrate with the torrent client, so I don’t get booted off the Hetzner host. Note that you could also set this up at home.

As you can see by the replies, lots of people want to help you, but very few want to set this stuff up for pay. If you really want to go that route, check out sites like fiverr or upwork.

Looking forward to seeing it in Fdroid :)

I don’t have good advice for right now, but as for the future: always have a 5-10GB file on your server that you can delete in an emergency.

I’m pretty sure I used this setup: https://golb.hplar.ch/2019/01/expose-server-vpn.html

VPS running wireguard server, proxies all traffic to/from my home server. Home server URL DNS records point to VPS static IP. Certbot runs with --no-checks flag to obtain letsencrypt cert.

I have just never been able to wrap my head around it. I have tried a couple projects like Dockstarter before and found them too confusing. The easiest media setup I’ve found so far is Swizzin community edition, which is not docker based.

Nice guide! Upvoted even though I hate docker ;)

Check out yunohost

+1 for Yunohost. I’ve never yet been able to figure out docker. Yunohost has kept me happy for years.
