I suggest to start the RPi with your preferred HDMI mode, defined at config.txt.

That worked perfectly, thanks!

Hi,

Libreelec is installed on my Raspberry, which is linked to my TV via an AV amp, with only HDMI cables. If I start my TV before my Raspberry, then the image fits perfectly in my TV. However, if I start my Raspberry before starting my TV, then the image is bigger than my TV, thus I have to reboot my Raspberry for it to fit my TV.

Is there a way to fix the size of the image in order to make it fit my TV even if it is off?

Thanks.

Regards

OK, I understand. Libreelec is certainly not the best OS to host Nextcloud, I guess? I tried DietPi but had some difficulties as well, maybe I didn't try enough...

One thing I have learnt now: we often have to wait after doing an action on Libreelec/Docker for it to be effective. It might be the same with other OS...

That's very detailed, thank you for all those explanations!

I think I will try the last option: keep /data folder on the internal SD card and share the external storage via Nextcloud app. I will make sure the users don't put too many files in the root directory (/data), which is size limited.

How can you explain we couldn't use something as -v /var/media/MyBook:/data?

Hello,

Now, when I validate the wizard, I still get the "504 gateway time out" error. Then I go back to my IP, but the wizard is still displaying! I would expect to get a connection form...

If I try again to create my admin account, the wizard tells me the username already exists, which suggests that the account is created but I still don't have the opportunity to connect with it.

I tried to start from scratch and do this again, I got the same behavior...

Any idea?

Thanks

Edit:

Ahah, now after just waiting for a while and refreshing the page, this error is back: "Your data directory is readable by other users..."

I can't understand it

Alomon just pushed an update to the mariadb addon. You can now enter database name, user and pass into its settings

I'm just not sure about one thing: in Nextcloud wizard, after selecting MariaDB, which user details should I enter? Root or the one I entered on MariaDB Kodi GUI? And should I use one of them as Nextcloud admin account credentials?

Thanks

(My HDD is now formatted as exFAT)

Edit: found out, disregard my message.

OK, what do you suggest? exFAT? ext4?

Great, thanks. After reinstalling mariadb add-on and entering the information on the GUI, do I still have something to do via SSH (privileges and so on) or should I just install Nectcloud with these information ?

Edit:

I've tried to enter some credentials for Nextcloud admin account. Then, in MariaDB parameter, I copied the information I already entered on Kodi GUI. But now I get a "504 Gateway Time-out" error. Does it ring a bell?

Edit 2:

OK, I just waited for a moment and refreshed the page, the previous error disappeared. But I get another one: "Your data directory is readable by other users...". I understand it might have something to do with my external storage (USB, NTFS). I selected my /data folder on Nextcloud parameters box (on Libreelec), but shouldn't I change something in fstab?

OK, I'm in! Now I've tried different things that still don't work, so I still need help. I used this tutorial: [NextCloud] NextCloud 12.0 installation with MariaDB and PHP 7.1

When in mariadb CLI, I create the database: CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;

Then the user: CREATE USER my-name@my-server-ip IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password';

Then grant privileges: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextcloud.* to my-name@my-server-ip IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password'; and FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Back to Nextcloud web interface, I enter all these information:

- Nextcloud credentials: my-name and my-password (same as in SQL commands)

For Mariadb:

- User: root

- Password: the one I chose before on Kodi GUI

- Database name: nextcloud

- Database host: mariadb:3306

I still get an error (SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'oc_my-name'@'docker.linuxserver.nextcloud.lsio' (using password: YES))

Where am I wrong?

Thanks

OK. that's useful and it explains why I can find various methods on the web. But then, how do I create the database? Once again, I've found multiple ways to do so (SSH or not) and don't know which one I should follow.

Thanks

Edit:

Here is what I've tried so far:

On Kodi, install MariaDB container from LinuxServer.io deposit)

Chose a root password for MariaDB on Kodi GUI

Wait for the container to be created (checked with "docker ps" command)

On Nextcloud web interface now:

Enter some Nextcloud credentials (administrator user name and password)

Chose MariaDB as database type

- User: root

- Password: the one I chose before on Kodi GUI

- Database name: nc

- Database host: mariadb:3306

Now I get this error message: "SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'oc_root'@'docker.linuxserver.nextcloud.lsio' (using password: YES)"

Ok, that's what I've done, now when I go to my Pi IP, I get the page asking for information to finish the installation (Great!)

I type in some admin user name and password. Then I select a MySQL database (I would like to use some advanced features). But there is something I don't undrrstand: should this database be created before the installation (then I would enter this database information) or will this assistant create a database (based on the information I provide here) ?

I confess I firstly considered the latter option, but got an error message: "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory". If I have to create a database, could you please help me in doing so?

Thanks again.

I did exactly what Iridium suggests, except the last step (mapping /data folder) because I understand I should begin with adding a "-v ..." parameter to the nextcloud container. Am I right?

Moreover, considering my hard drive is named "My Book" - with a space inside the name - how do you suggest I should write the /data folder parameter? Should I write "/media/My Book/nextcloud" or "/media/My\ Book/nextcloud" or something else?

Thank you.

Hello,

For several days now, I've been reading and trying a lot to install a Nextcloud server on my Pi2B. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a clear tutorial for this installation, as I am quite a newbie. For instance, most of the posts/docs ask to chown data folder or to perform some other commands which are not allowed in LibreElec, from what I understand.

So what I would like is to install Docker (done) then Nextcloud (done) on my Pi, but I can't manage on using my external hard drive (plugged to the Pi via USB and automatically mounted on "/media/My Book") as my Nextcloud data folder. I understand there are some operations to perform before launching the Nextcloud web interface ? Not sure...

Could someone help me with that operation?

Thank you.
