After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to gdrive, gsuite, trello, calendar, etc. All of this, with 1tb while not giving any of ma data to some evil business for... 10$ cad a month!? Can't believe this is not what every organisation are using.

What was it? I'm planning to do a nextcloud deployment via helm soon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Update: seems like the persistence section is sufficient; I have

persistence:
  enabled: true
  existingClaim: nextcloud-config-claim

at the end of my values file which references a volume claim (and volume) that I created manually upfront. The importand file is config.php. Back that thing up immediately and three times, print it if you have to. The secret in there is unrecoverable otherwise and needed for any repair actions.
I also use the postgresql sub-chart (by simply enabling postgresql as database) and provide a claim there:

postgresql:
  enabled: true
global:
    postgresql:
      auth:
        username: XX
        password: YY
        database: nextcloud
  image:
    repository: postgres
    tag: "14"
    postgresqlDataDir: /bitnami/pgdata
  primary:
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      existingClaim: nextcloud-db-claim

Hope it helps!

I think it was literally called "config". I will check my setup and provide the mount points I used here later today, if you back these up, it should work. Put some disposable data on it once you finished setup and then upgrade to a newer version to see if everything works. You can specify the image tag to use manually (or you install an older chart version).
I also pinned the postgres version to 14, not sure if I can recommend that but I had issues with DB upgrades in a docker installation, so I tend to be careful there.
