# 1.5.4 Nextcloud

# 1. Installation

Now, you can install nextcloud on the same docker VM that you install all other applications on as well. However, I personally have a dedicated VM for nextcloud since it is quite a heavy piece of software and if something goes wrong with nextcloud that affects the VM then it will not affect the other applications. Hence, what I first do is create again another Docker VM with the Docker VM Proxmox Helper Script. If you choose to host it on the same VM with Dockhand then you can also do this of course

# Permissions for NFS share

Right now I have 1000:1000 for and read and write permissions for everyone. Hence, that 30:00 works. But we need to figure this out for later to set the right permissions in TrueNas.

2026-07-08T22:31:45.606723395Z Current permissions are:

2026-07-08T22:31:45.609623100Z They should be:

# 4. Restore From Internal Nextcloud Backup

Now, this is not necessary if you have a VM backup of your Nextcloud instance including its storage. However, if this is not the case, or you crashed your VM for whatever reason and have no backup then your can create a new nextcloud instance and import the files from a backup you must have created previously
