NextCloudPi is a popular self-hosted cloud solution that allows you to store, share, and collaborate on your files and documents securely. It is based on Nextcloud, a flexible and open-source cloud storage platform.
POP! OS is a free and open-source operating system that is based on Ubuntu. It features a modern and user-friendly interface, designed to be easy-to-use for beginners and advanced users alike.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install NextCloudPi onto a POP! OS system.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Before we can install NextCloudPi on POP! OS, we first need to install some dependencies.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git curl
NextCloudPi is designed to run inside a Docker container, so we need to install Docker on our POP! OS system.
Run the command:
sudo apt-get install docker.io
Once the installation is complete, verify the version of Docker with the command:
docker --version
Next, we need to download the NextCloudPi repository from Github. Run the command:
git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi.git
This will create a directory named nextcloudpi in your current directory.
Navigate into the nextcloudpi directory with the command:
cd nextcloudpi
And then run the installation script with the command:
sudo ./install.sh
This will start the installation process, and you will be prompted to configure some settings for NextCloudPi.
Follow the prompts to set up NextCloudPi.
Once you have completed the prompt, NextCloudPi will build and start the Docker container. You can access the NextCloudPi web interface by entering the IP address or domain name of your server into a web browser.
You have successfully installed NextCloudPi on POP! OS. You can now use it to store, share, and collaborate on your files and documents. Enjoy!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
