=== Kown issues ===
+
=== Use a dedicated domain to connect to Nextcloud ===
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
db domains set cloud.mydomain.com domain Description "Nextcloud" Content Primary Nameservers internet TemplatePath WebAppVirtualHost DocumentRoot /usr/share/nextcloud RequireSSL enabled letsencryptSSLcert enabled
 +
signal-event domain-create cloud.mydomain.com
 +
 
 +
#this one to let nextcloud DAV be redirect correctly
 +
config setprop nextcloud CloudDomain cloud.mydomain.com
 +
signal-event nextcloud-update
 +
 
 +
#only if you use a Let's Encrypt certificate
 +
expand-template /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
 +
dehydrated -c
 +
 
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
=== Move user space from uuid to username ===
 +
User stored using ldap from SME with initial install will create a space with their ldap uuid. This is not very user friendly and further more it will lead to ios app issues.
 +
Recent version will use the username for new users, but for those already created you will need to do the following
 +
you will need to do as admin :
 +
# go to preference
 +
# choose ldap
 +
# choose expert
 +
# fill the 3 fields as presented above, or using the cli do
 +
  OCC ldap:set-config s01 ldapExpertUUIDGroupAttr cn
 +
  OCC ldap:set-config s01 ldapExpertUUIDUserAttr uid
 +
  OCC ldap:set-config s01 ldapExpertUsernameAttr uid
 +
# in cli, you will then need to do :
 +
  OCC user:list and save the content
 +
  cd /home/e-smith/files/nextcloud/data ; mv OLDUUID username
 +
  OCC files:scan username
 +
# delete the UUID association for users
 +
# you should then be able to login as the user with its previous files
 +
 
 +
Only drawback, trash history might be gone, a trick inside the db using a script could workaround that and avoid the OCC files:scan username
 +
 
 +
=== Mount with davfs on Fedora Clients ===
 +
While you might love the easy setup of the gnome client for nextcloud, you might encounter some frustration of having your favourite applications not showing nextcloud as mounted and needing to find it to sometime not being able to access it.
 +
 
 +
Here is a workaround
 +
 
 +
First as root<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
dnf install davfs2 -y
 +
usermod -aG davfs2 $YOURUSER
 +
echo "use_locks 0" >> /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf
 +
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav /home/$YOURUSER/nextcloud davfs user,rw,auto 0 0
 +
" >> /etc/fstab
 +
 
 +
 
 +
</syntaxhighlight>then you should log out /log in with your user in order to have the group membership. You can also just do "su -l USERNAME"
 +
 
 +
then as your user (replace your_password by your password, or a token;):<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mkdir ~/nextcloud
 +
mkdir ~/.davfs2
 +
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav your_Nextcloud_username your_password" >> ~/.davfs2/secrets
 +
chmod 0600 ~/.davfs2/secrets
 +
</syntaxhighlight>then just mount ! <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mount ~/nextcloud
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
From there you can tweak the cache configuration to make it easier for you if you are far from the server, default cache size is 50MiByte, you could increase it to let's say 3 GiByte in ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf for your user <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
cache_size 3G
 +
</syntaxhighlight>you should see the folder mount at every logon from now on!  if you do not want that, change "auto" in the fstab by "noauto".
 +
 
 +
Then add the following in ~/bash_profile or ~/bash_rc. You could user also mount -a and to try to put something in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/" instead<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mount /home/username/nextcloud
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
</syntaxhighlight>And Finally to umount in  gdm using "sudo vim /etc/gdm/PostSession/"<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
if [ ${USERNAME} = "myuser" ];then
 +
  umount -fl /home/myuser/nextcloud
 +
fi
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +

 +
==== Upgrading from 17.0.1.x to 17.07.x ====
 +
 +
You can use the built in updater.
 +
The only issue experienced was right at the end of the process with a http 500 error. I just did 'retry' and it completed.
 +
 +
You may need to update your database which I did as follows - note it may take a very long time with a lot of files:
 +
 +
OCC maintenance:mode --on
 +
OCC db:convert-filecache-bigint
 +
OCC maintenance:mode --off
 +
 +
==== User cannot see shares/files ====
 +
 +
After a new install the admin user could see shares but not a user.
 +
 +
We had a single ibay and it was set:
 +
 +
Group Everyone
 +
Write group
 +
Read everyone
 +
 +
We created a new group called localusers and added the admin and single user.
 +
 +
We then set the ibay:
 +
 +
Group localusers
 +
Write group
 +
Read group
 +
 +
This appeared to fix the issue and the user could now see the files.
 +
 +
====Reset Database====
 +
 +
For reference, whilst looking at resetting file caches I found this.
 +
 +
It is probably extremely dangerous but wanted to make a note.

===Koozali SMEv10 testing===
 +
 +
We are still building Koozali SME v10 and have been testing installation of Nextcloud, currently on version 20.
 +
 +
We have packages in smedev.
 +
 +
You will also need packages from some other repos.
