TL;DR - I have offline backup of entire nextcloud server (was running in freenas) and need to restore it on my working installation of nextcloud on freenas but don't know how. Nextcloud manual is written for ubuntu server.
I was running nextcloud in freenas in a hypervisor. I decided freenas should be on bare metal but had to use the same server, so my nextcloud server is down for the count. All I have are the files backed up using freenas snapshots and replications to 2 other locations for redundancy (can't lose my stuff).
The question I have is how do I stand up nextcloud again when the normal backup procedure calls for running the old install and the new install at the same time? My old install will never run again without a miracle or time machine. I have every possible file I could need, all available via the backup storage pools on backup servers (which were not in any way running nextcloud).
Today my situation is, finally have freenas running on bare metal (8 cores @ 3ghz, 20gb ecc ram, hp proliant dl360, 2 nics, 8TB storage pool & 240gb ssd pool). I am running nextcloud in freenas again using @danb35 script to install it. How then do I restore the files and database so my users see it as if nothing happened?
As I see it I can either
1. Figure out how to rsync everything back into place, or
2. Try to recreate everything the way it was manually (apps, configs, etc.) and then login to each individual user and use the desktop client to upload files from replicated backup.
