I was trying to install NextCloud into a Qubes R3.2 machine. Although I
have it working it isn't persistent across reboots of the AppVM. Every
time I restart the AppVM it asks me to setup my NextCloud again.
How can I get NextCloud working in an AppVM?
I put NextCloud into a Fedora template. I tried the full manual install
and the Snap method. When I base the AppVM on that template I can
startup NextCloud, create a MariaDB database, create an admin account
and work with various settings, but a restart of the AppVM will lose all
of those settings. How can I make my changes persistent so that I can
use NextCloud normally?
Why not use a StandaloneVM ?
Or do you want to get a "clean/blank" nextcloud install each time you
restart an AppVM based on the template where you installed nextcloud ?
If so, you'll have to create the db/admin account/... in the templateVM,
not in the AppVM, otherwise any changes you do to the root filesystem
will be lost at the next restart. Note that it's usually not a good idea
to install and run third party stuff in templates (or, don't base
sensitive AppVMs on such templates).
FYI the folders/files related to nextcloud are usually:
- The folder where you extracted nextcloud (eg. /var/www/nextcloud)
- The data dir you configured; could be a subdir of the folder above or
another path.
- Mysql db (/var/lib/mysql) and maybe /etc/my.cnf*
- relevant httpd config (/etc/httpd/...) + php stuff, eg. /etc/php.ini
if you modified it.
You'll also have to enable the web server and mysql in the template
(systemctl enable ...); or start it in the AppVM.
