Hello all,

I have just jumped into the world of proxmox and it appears I hit the shallow end because I got stuck...

I have a PC I turned into a server. I installed proxmox on an ssd and I have 3x8TB hdds in a zfs z1 raid I plan to use to nextcloud and another group of 3 I plan to use for media and share the files on the network. Anyway, I started first with the nextcloud install, for which I used an appliance. I can now login on the nextcloud webpage and look around nextcloud. The permission problem appeared when I tried to update nextcloud. I get the following error:

  • Check for write permissions
    The following places can not be written to:
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../public.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../version.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../console.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../COPYING
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../status.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../occ
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../AUTHORS
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../cron.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../.htaccess
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../robots.txt
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../.user.ini
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../index.html
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../index.php
    • /var/www/nextcloud/updater/../remote.php
This appers to be due to a lack of permissions which I do not understand. And this brings me to another permission issue. If I manage to update nextcloud, next step is to assign a storage to it (the zfs pool I mentioned earlier). How do I do it so that I do not have permission issues, but also I do not open myself up to breaches.

I can provide any info required, but be patient please because I have never used proxmox (or nexcloud)!

Thank you

Nextcloud is probably stored in a container. Which template did you use and how is it configured? Post /etc/pve/lxc/<container-id>.conf
 
Hello and thank you for your reply!

I have installed nextcloud using a turnkey template. Thank you to @Dark26! That did it! I am sorry for the silly question, I am really new to this. Now I have stumbled onto another problem regarding NFS shares between the proxmox server and the nexcloud container. Should I start a new thread or can I ask it here?

Thank you again for your help!

see in the option tab of the vm to activate nfs support.

I will try this evening because I managed to break something while connecting from work. I kept investigating why I couldn't mount the NFS share from within the container. I kept getting permission denied from host. I looked at the host dmesg and saw that apparmor was blocking the connection.
Tried to follow some advice from the forum but I didn't get anywhere. So I disabled the apparmor service and rebooted the host but now I cannot ssh into it. The host is up, because it answers to the ping but not accepting ssh connections. So I have to get home first.

Where exactly is the option for the nfs in the options tab?
