This is a how to install Nextcloud 12.3 with all checks passed on FreeNAS 11.

This is a rewrite of the original post https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-nextcloud-10-w-apache-php-and-mariadb.46111/ with a few added adjustments where needed to make this fully functional.
I know this works as I have re-emulated this 4 times today to insure its accuracy
Somethings may need to be edited based upon volume name but for the most part plug and play
a great thanks to nathank1989 and all of those that have contributed.

Creating the Dataset & Jail
Create Dataset
Within FreeNAS Userspace:

Storage > Create ZFS Dataset

Code:
Dataset Name = files
Compression level = lz4
Enable atime = Off
All other options default


SQL Data
Code:
Dataset Name = db
Compression level = zle
Enable atime = Off
Record Size = 16K (Under Advanced Mode)
All other options default


Add New user in FreeNAS space:
Code:
Username: mysql
Shell: nologin
Full Name: SQL User
Password: anything


From the Storage Tab
Change Permissions On your Storage volume that houses your jail -> should look similar to this>>> /mnt/your drive name/db
Code:
Owner: mysql
Owner: mysql
Set permission recursively


Create a Jail
Jails > Add Jail

Jail Name: nextcloud
Code:
Template: "------"
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.99
IPv4 Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Leave all else default

Ensure VIMAGE is checked*
*Unless you have and want to use a separate and dedicated NIC for the jail. The MoBo I use comes with additional network ports.

Add Storage to the same jail you just created

Jail: nextcloud
Code:
Source = /mnt/Cloud/files
Destination = /mnt/files

Jail: nextcloud
Code:
Source = /mnt/Cloud/db
Destination = /var/db/mysql


Setting primary cache In FreeNAS UserSpace Shell
$ zfs set primarycache=metadata Cloud/db

F.A.M.P Installation
In this section we are going to install F.A.M.P, an iteration of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). I chose this because I, personally, haven't had much luck with nginx or lighttp. Another guide suggested lighttp and sqlite, but those might not hold up to a good amount of users storing a bit of data.
The setup is:
FreeBSD 11.0
Apache 2.4
MariaDB 10.1
PHP 7.0 or 7.1 **Do NOT install PHP7.2 - Nexcloud is absolutely incompatible with this version as of this writing **
This provides the basis for our webserving jail.

via putty ssh into the jail

From FreeNAS user space run command:
JLS
you will then see your jails, the run commander jexec "And the number of you jail" (example) "jexec 2"

Before we get started, let's add a few necessary packages as they aren't currently installed.
$ portsnap fetch extract
$ pkg install nano wget sudo

We will install each part of FAMP one-by-one. FreeBSD is the Operating system so good to go on that!

Install Apache 2.4
$ pkg install apache24

Setup in rc.conf
$ sysrc apache24_enable=yes

Start Apache
$ service apache24 start

Okay lets Check to see that it works!!!!
open a web browser on a local machine (preferably the machine your on) on your network

Navigate to http://your_jails_ip and you should see the text "It Works!"

Install MariaDB 10.1
$ pkg install mariadb101-server

Setup in rc.conf
$ sysrc mysql_enable=yes

Start MySQL Service
$ service mysql-server start

Run Wizard Script
$ mysql_secure_installation

For this step read and follow prompts.
By default there is no root password, ( you must create a new one when promted just hit enter, and answer Y to all the following questions.

Login to MySQL, create Nextcloud DB and User
$ mysql -u root -p

Enter the password you made for root during MariaDB 10.1 setup.

Enter each of these commands one-by-one, and make sure to include the semi-colon ;
Code:
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;

CREATE USER 'nextcloud_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MAKEUP-YOUR-OWN-PASSWORD';

GRANT ALL ON nextcloud.* TO 'nextcloud_admin'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

exit


Replace MAKEUP-YOUR-OWN-PASSWORD with a password of your choosing. You need this for the NextCloud setup.

PHP 7.0
Install PHP and associated modules

Code:
pkg install redis php70 php70-bz2 php70-ctype php70-curl php70-dom php70-exif php70-fileinfo php70-filter php70-gd php70-hash php70-iconv php70-intl php70-json php70-mbstring php70-mcrypt php70-pdo_mysql php70-openssl php70-posix php70-session php70-simplexml php70-xml php70-xmlreader php70-xmlwriter php70-xsl php70-wddx php70-zip php70-zlib php70-opcache mod_php70


or perhaps you prefer

php 7.1
Install PHP and associated modules

Code:
pkg install redis php71-ctype php71-dom php71-gd php71-iconv php71-json php71-mbstring php71-posix php71-simplexml  php71-xmlreader php71-xmlwriter php71-zip php71-zlib php71-pdo_mysql php71-hash php71-xml php71-session php71-mysqli php71-wddx php71-xsl php71-filter php71-curl php71-fileinfo php71-bz2 php71-intl php71-mcrypt php71-openssl php71-ldap php71-ftp php71-imap php71-exif php71-gmp php71-memcache php71-opcache php71-pcntl php71 mod_php71


$ sysrc 'mysql_enable=YES' 'redis_enable=YES'
Configuring Apache for PHP7
Ensure that the rewrite and ssl modules are enabled (uncommented) in /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf.
$ nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf

in the httpd.conf file search for "ssl_module" by using the bellow command

To search the document
Code:
ctrl+w

Then enter the name of the file you want to search within the document
Code:
ssl_module

To execute the command simply press enter it will find the filename

while still in the same document "httpd.conf"
Uncomment these 2 lines (delete the # at the start of the line) so it looks like this:
Code:
LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache24/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so


Remove php5 (if it exist)
Code:
Find & Remove this >> LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache24/libphp5.so
Replace with >> LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache24/libphp7.so


Add php7:
Code:
If you can't find libphp5.so, just add
LoadModule php7_module  libexec/apache24/libphp7.so
to the last of the LoadModule section; right above where it says
# Third party modules IncludeOptional ...


while working in the same file after this line
Code:
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache24/libphp7.so


Add this
Code:
<IfModule php7_module>
<FilesMatch "\.(php|phps|php7|phtml)$">
	 SetHandler php7-script
</FilesMatch>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>


While still in the same file search for:
Code:
<IFModule mime_module>


Then Insert this code directly under:
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php		.php


Save & quit
Code:
ctl+x
y
enter

Double check that you see libphp7.so in /usr/local/libexec/apache24
to do this simply search by executing the following commander
$ find /usr -name libphp7.so

it should give you this feedback
Code:
/usr/local/libexec/apache24/libphp7.so


if it does this lets move on!!!!!!!

now lets add a PHP handler
Code:
# cd /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d
# touch /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d/001_mod_php.conf
# nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d/001_mod_php.conf

Paste this test in the 001_mod_php.conf file:
Code:
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
		SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
	</FilesMatch>
	<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
		SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
	</FilesMatch>

Save & Exit
Once you're done save and close
Code:
CTRL+x, Y, ENTER


Restart apache
service apache24 restart

Configure PHP.INI
Code:
$ cd /usr/local/etc
$ cp php.ini-production php.ini
$ nano /usr/local/etc/php.ini


Code:
find cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 change from =0 to =1

find date.timezone = Change to your timezone (America/New_York) [ SEE: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php ]

find post_max_size= change it to 1999M

find upload_max_size= change to 1999M


then uncomment and update the below values to match: (uncomment means to remove the # symbol before any line

Code:
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.save_comments=1
opcache.revalidate_freq=1

CTRL+X, Y, ENTER

Restart Apache
$ service apache24 restart
Testing with PHPINFO()
Navigate to /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Code:
$ cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data
$ touch info.php
$ nano info.php


Paste the below code into the info.php file
Code:
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>

Save & Exit

Navigate to http://your jails ip/info.php

You should see a full page with all the information regarding your PHP installation.

Now lets Configure REDIS
The purpose is to update redis.conf to run on local socket

Execute command:
Code:
nano /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

In the redis.conf file find the value
Code:
"port" and change it from its default value to 0

uncomment by removing the ; symbol from in front of the below values and edit to match
Code:
unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 777

Add REDIS to rc.conf
$
Code:
sysrc redis_enable=yes

Start REDIS
$
Code:
service redis start

To run redis on a local socket,
Run
ls -al /tmp
you should see redis.sock and mysql.sock in the feedback list.

If you see those two, you're ALMOST DONE!!

Now lets Install NextCloud 12.3

before downloading NextCloud 12.3 navigate to the default apache data directory
$
Code:
cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data


Download Nextcloud:
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-12.0.3.zip
Unzip Nextcloud:
$ unzip nextcloud-12.0.3.zip
Give correct owner/ or rather modify the folder permissions:
Code:
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud /mnt/files

Add virtual Host info :
Navigate to: /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes
Code:
cd /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes

Touch file: (I used a cloud.* subdomain, if you're not using a sub, remove the 'cloud.')

$ touch YOURDOMAIN.com or org or gov.conf

$ nano YOURDOMAIN*


make your secure file in this format (simply copy and paste):
Be sure to edit the YOURSITE.COM part of the below file with your domain info
(Example) if your domain is "tocool.no-ip.org" enter that and the domain name matches your touch file name.
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud"
ServerName YOURSITE.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =YOURSITE.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]
#ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
#CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<Directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
<IfModule mod_dav.c>
Dav off
</IfModule>
SetEnv HOME /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud
SetEnv HTTP_HOME /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud
Satisfy Any
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache:
$ service apache24 restart
Navigate to the website
http://your jails ip/

You should now see the setup screen for NextCloud!!

If you do, give yourself a pat on the back. Now for the last steps...

NextCloud WebUI
Set up your admin account with a username and password you choose.

Storage & database
Code:
Data folder = /mnt/files

Code:
Database user = nextcloud_admin
Database password = MADEUP_PASSWORD_FROM_BEFORE
Database name = nextcloud
Database host = localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock


Now lets prepare the secure part of your domain file:
Navigate to: /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes
Code:
cd /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes
nano YOURDOMAIN*

Copy and paste under the previously entered info
Code:
<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerAdmin YOUREMAIL
  ServerName YOURSITE.COM
  DirectoryIndex index.php
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud
  SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURSITE.COM/fullchain.pem

  </VirtualHost>

Lets Cache!!!
to setup a complete cache with redis and apcu:
Code:
cd
pkg install p5-Locale-gettext help2man texinfo m4 autoconf
make config-recursive install -C /usr/ports/databases/pecl-redis
make config-recursive install -C /usr/ports/devel/pecl-APCu

then execute the following commands:
for php 7.0 and php 7.1
Code:
$ su -m www -c 'php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ config:system:set memcache.local --value="\OC\Memcache\APCu"'
$ su -m www -c 'php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ config:system:set memcache.locking --value="\OC\Memcache\Redis"'
$ su -m www -c 'php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ config:system:set redis host --value="/tmp/redis.sock"'
$ su -m www -c 'php /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/occ config:system:set redis port --value=0 --type=integer'

Additional steps for php 7.1
Navigate to:
nano /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/config/config.php
Then change:
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
to
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',

service apache24 restart

Lets fix some annoying apache errors!
to get rid of the below error message when restarting apache do the following:
Code:
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK
Stopping apache24.
Waiting for PIDS: 80591.
Performing sanity check on apache24 configuration:
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK
Starting apache24.
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message when stating apache do the following:

Run command:
nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Search for "servername" it will look like the below, enter your jails ipaddress xxx.xxx.x.xxx:80
Code:
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
 ServerName your jails ip:80 <<<<<<<put your serving machines ip address

uncomment the ServerName line (uncomment simply means to remove the # or ; symbol from the front of any line) and wala message will be fixed.

restart apache
service apache24 restart
To add Domains that can connect from outside the lan:
navigate to: /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/config/config.php
Code:
nano /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/config/config.php

The file will look like the below:
Code:
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'instanceid' => 'ocwo6kfuc3ve',
'passwordsalt' => '9s6vbvue6FZ3g2AklNJS4Y3S4Y3FG1',
'secret' => 'gzWPI+QgwkIKkYQwmgfGk7oGW87N/jaytyODIEgVfBjCek0y',
'trusted_domains' =>
array (
	0 => '192.168.1.30',
	1 => 'coolp.to.org',<<<add just like this
),
'datadirectory' => '/usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/data',
'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://192.168.1.30',
'dbtype' => 'mysql',
'version' => '12.0.3.3',
'dbname' => 'nextcloud',
'dbhost' => 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock',
'dbport' => '',
'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
'dbuser' => 'nextcloud_admin',
'dbpassword' => 'maria10 database password',
'installed' => true,
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\APCu',
'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
'redis' =>
array (
	'host' => '/tmp/redis.sock',

restart apache using the following command:
service apache24 restart
I cant use VI, its too cryptic so I choose to use nano to set cron jobs, to do so execute the following:
Code:
setenv VISUAL /usr/local/bin/nano
setenv EDITOR /usr/local/bin/nano

Setup NC's cron jobs:
crontab -u www -e
Code:
*/15 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/cron.php

Now lets secure this server
SSL using Certbot:

Download/Install Certbot
pkg install py27-certbot
certbot certonly --webroot -w /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud -d YOURSITE.COM
Navigate to /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Code:
cd /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf

in the httpd.conf file
Find Listen 80 and add underneath Listen 443
I don't know what the below command does but it works:
nano /etc/make.conf
Then add to the 2nd line of the file
Code:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=php7.0

Restart Apache:
service apache24 restart
Add Cron Job:
crontab -e
Code:
* 1 * * 1 ./usr/local/bin/certbot renew --quiet

Okay once you finally logon to Nextcloud 12.3 using http and you enter the admin area you will see these errors!!!!
Code:
  • Your data directory and your files are probably accessible from the Internet. The .htaccess file is not working. It is strongly recommended that you configure your web server in a way that the data directory is no longer accessible or you move the data directory outside the web server document root.
  • You are accessing this site via HTTP. We strongly suggest you configure your server to require using HTTPS instead as described in our security tips.


Have no fear if this error bothers you their is a fix

Force to https redirect:

Now lets introduce a redirect as in a redirect of http to https this mainly for on the lan as when accessed from the world wide web it automatically redirects to https and is not accessible via http.

be advised the https will say the connection is not secure when accessing from the lan using the direct ip.

Edit the .htaccess file by entering the following command:
$ nano /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/.htaccess

While in the .htaccess file directly below this text:
Code:
#### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE ####

Add:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}


Restart apache:
service apache24 restart

And VOILA! YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

so you can share with whomever you choose!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to use NextCloud on a separate NIC
Code:
Shut down the jail
Click Edit
Uncheck VIMAGE and select the NIC from the NIC drop down. Make sure your IP info didn't change.
Start jail and try to access your cloud. If all went well you'd basically see nothing changed as it will work as expected.



helpful commands and notes from install
to find a file:
enter command: find /usr -name "filename"

You should fix that giant wall of text by using the [ cmd ] and [ code ] tags found in the post editor.

Care to post a how to with php 7.1? Though I figure one would just replace the php70 with php71 handle.

Yes, no problem :)

I used parts of four different guides for the total installation (one of which is the thread you wrote the update to.)

For the php71 portion, i used the following link:https://ramsdenj.com/2017/06/05/nextcloud-in-a-jail-on-freebsd.html

Not sure if the order matters, but I did the following:

Code:
# pkg install php71 mod_php71


Then, after comparing the php70 install from the thread here, and the php71 install from the link...I installed the following:
Code:
# pkg install php71-ctype php71-dom php71-gd php71-iconv php71-json php71-mbstring php71-posix php71-simplexml  php71-xmlreader php71-xmlwriter php71-zip php71-zlib php71-pdo_mysql php71-hash php71-xml php71-session php71-mysqli php71-wddx php71-xsl php71-filter php71-curl php71-fileinfo php71-bz2 php71-intl php71-mcrypt php71-openssl php71-ldap php71-ftp php71-imap php71-exif php71-gmp php71-memcache php71-opcache php71-pcntl


I ended up using redis for both local and locking memcache, i had problems getting APCu to work (from my notes, I don't think my final install has APCu at all, and its not listed in my info.php page....I could be mistaken on this though...it seems my notes may be incomplete regarding pecl-APCu)
used a ports install pecl-redis
Code:
# make config-recursive install -C /usr/ports/databases/pecl-redis


***this is directly from the linked guide***
If redis was setup, add the settings manually to the config /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud/config/config.php. Adding with occ caused problems for me.

Code:
'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
'memcache.locking' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',
'redis' => array(
  'host' => '/tmp/redis.sock',
  'port' => 0,
),

Hi, great tutorial! could be awesome a video. I am having a problem with the step "Lets Cache!!!"

When I want to restart apache:

"Performing sanity check on apache24 configuration:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 26 of /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/juanperez.zapto.org.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/juanperez.zapto.org/fullchain.pem' does not exist or is empty

Also when I'm trying to go to '/usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/', error: No such file or directory.

I don't know what to do.

Also, when I comment that lines with # I have this other issue:

service apache24 restart

Performing sanity check on apache24 configuration:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 31 of /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/juanperez.zapto.org.conf:

That means that this command:
certbot certonly --webroot -w /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud -d YOURSITE.COM
did not complete successfully.

Thank you, the problem was that step is after the step "Let's Cache".

I'm still having this issue, I copy a lot of times and it doesn't work:

" SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA"


Performing sanity check on apache24 configuration:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 31 of /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/juanperez.zapto.org.conf:
SSLCipherSuite takes one argument, Colon-delimited list of permitted SSL Ciphers ('XXX:...:XXX' - see manual)

I really don't know how to complete that line SSLCipherSuite

Make sure when you did the copy and paste from the forum (if that is what you did) that it didn't put something on the wrong line (like it started a new line of code by wrapping the text). I had that happen as well, and made sure that the your file looks exactly like what you copied from the forum.

It worked! it was a single space, not a new line. Thank you so much for all this.

New to all this. I want to say thank you for all the work and time you've spent to help people like me that are baby's to all this.

I need all of your help to figure out where or what I've done wrong here. I got as far as the section:

Restart Apache:
$ service apache24 restart
Navigate to the website
http://your jails ip/

You should now see the setup screen for NextCloud!!

Problem is, I don't get the Nextcloud screen I just get the initial "It works!". I tried to back step to see where i may have gone wrong but no luck.

Thank you in advance,

What is the path to your nextcloud install?

also, did you get the info.php page to work?

So I went to sleep after writing that post and then the light bulb came on in the morning. In the instructions it says navigate to your IP to get to the nextcloud page, but if you're following the steps as a "White Belt" like me, you just do as it is written. What should be changed is that you need to enter your ip then /nextcloud. So I would change it to say http://your jails ip/nextcloud. As soon as I did, I got the home page.

Hello mate, really nice guide, but i got stuck right after I ran certbot certonly --webroot -w /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud -d MYDOMAIN. Any ideas? (i placed MYDOMAIN for security reasons) I port forwaded 80 and 443 to the jail ip address, is that right?

Code:
Obtaining a new certificate
Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for MYDOMAIN
Using the webroot path /usr/local/www/apache24/data/nextcloud for all unmatched domains.
Waiting for verification...
Cleaning up challenges
Failed authorization procedure. MYDOMAIN (http-01): urn:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching https://MYDOMAIN/.well-known/acme-challenge/4EsAqIGcEXFE0xCXR985J9YNRqThF-6BhGwYUe_TkVU: Timeout

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: MYDOMAIN
   Type:   connection
   Detail: Fetching
   https://MYDOMAIN/.well-known/acme-challenge/4EsAqIGcEXFE0xCXR985J9YNRqThF-6BhGwYUe_TkVU:
   Timeout

   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
   contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
   your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
   firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
   client. If you're using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
   that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.
 - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
   configuration directory at /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt. You should
   make a secure backup of this folder now. This configuration
   directory will also contain certificates and private keys obtained
   by Certbot so making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
