Scripted installation of Nextcloud 28 in iocage jail 2018-03-23

[danb35]

I am getting timeout errors.

From where? What are the error messages? What are you doing when you get them?

 

[hafnix]

Ok thank you for the hint, I tried to run the script where I replaced {HOST_NAME} with my.hostna.me as a example, i.e. the Dyndns hostname.
All output is ">" and nothing else happens... any hint ?

This script uses acme.sh to get a certificate for your jail. In order to obtain the cert, one of two things must be true:

1. You have a fully-qualified domain name ("$FQDN") that points to your jail, and the jail is reachable from the public Internet with ports 80 and 443 open to the jail--that is, if an Internet user browses to http://$FQDN, they'll reach your jail. -or-
2. Your DNS host has an API that's supported by acme.sh, allowing automated updates to your DNS records. Cloudflare has such an API, and provides DNS hosting for free. Many other DNS hosts' APIs are also supported; see https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/master/dnsapi

Is one of these two options above to prefer / better, or are they equal in safety and functionallity?
I have a NO-IP (free) domain and a Dynamic DNS client configured on my PFsense router/firewall to update the current IP-adress, so I guess this would qualify for option 1...
Also I saw that NO-IP was not in the DNS host list with supported APIs…

 

[hafnix]

Yes in my case it would be option 1, as I am using my Router to update the Ip-Address and this works fine.
However if No-IP is the problem ? which one should I chose ?

I like DNS validation better, and one of the reasons is that the jail doesn't have to be open to incoming connections on ports 80 and 443 for it to work. But both will work, and most folks would probably prefer to have the Nextcloud installations open to the Internet anyway

What exactly are you entering? Redact your hostname if you like, but leave everything else. Edit: I copied and pasted from the script, so most of the quotes aren't needed, and none of the backslashes are.

 

[hafnix]

I entered

Code:

iocage console nextcloud

, then I entered

Code:

./acme.sh --issue -d my.hostna.me --force -w /usr/local/www/apache24/data -k 4096 --fullchain-file /usr/local/etc/pki/tls/certs/fullchain.pem --key-file /usr/local/etc/pki/tls/private/privkey.pem --reloadcmd \"service apache24 reload\"

 

[danb35]

Try without the backslashes (but still with the quotes) on the reload command.

 

[hafnix]

Ok I tried, then I get

Code:

-bash: ./acme.sh: No such file or directory

 

[danb35]

./acme.sh: No such file or directory

Ah, I missed that. No, from /root/ (which is where you'd be by default), that won't work. You should be able to run it without the ./, but if not, it would be .acme.sh/acme.sh followed by the remaining flags.

 

[hafnix]

Wow cool, thank you Dan, it works :D:D:D:D I owe you one, really appreciate the great work you guys are doing and still find the nerve to help the noobs.

 

[hafnix]

Just a final question... tried logging in with the credentials from the text file nextcloud_db_password.txt with user
Administrator and the given password but I cannot log in. Is the user correct ?
Or, is there a way to reset the password ?

 

[danb35]

Administrator and the given password but I cannot log in. Is the user correct ?

No, the user is "admin".

 

[hafnix]

Hmm tried that too but it does not work... to be sure I copied it from the editor and tried to enter it manually too.
Is there any way to reset this ?

 

[danb35]

Hmm tried that too but it does not work..

And you used the password for the admin user, not the password for the nextcloud database user or the root database user?

Is there any way to reset this ?

Yes, but I can't look up the relevant occ syntax at the moment--I'll try to get back to it shortly.

 

[hafnix]

Yes I took the password of the admin user in line 3

 

[danb35]

Yes I took the password of the admin user in line 3

The one that says, "Default user is admin, password is (random)"? What's the error you're getting when you try to log in? Screen shot might help.

 

[hafnix]

the file is looking like this :

MariaDB root password password

Nextcloud database password is password

Nextcloud Administrator password is password

Sorry it is German, it means wrong password, below that I have to wait 30 seconds before another attempt

 

[danb35]

Nextcloud Administrator password is password

...and the second "password" on this line is in fact a random string, right?

To reset the admin password, first enter the Nextcloud jail with iocage console nextcloud. Then run su -m www -c "php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ user:resetpassword admin".

 

[hafnix]

Yes correct, it is a random string
