How to configure / install Nextcloud + GrapheneOS

Wilflower

How to set up a server in nextcloud on GrapheneOS? The information on the official site is not clear to me. I have no experience in this, I'm just starting my adventure. I mainly want to share files from the cloud to other devices, which do not necessarily have nextcloud installed on their computers. I would be grateful for help. And you forgive for such for sure for many a simple matter.

Wilflower I am running the NextCloud app on my GOS device with no issues. I just 'sync' those folders I want on my local device. What isn't working?

Wilflower Nextcloud depends on having a server running Nextcloud. This has to be installed on a SERVER, not on your phone. For details about setting up a Nextcloud server, read the documentation;

Wilflower In my experience NextCloud on Android is not very reliable. Lost a few files last time I used it.
Take a look at Syncthing for file synchronization and WebDAV server for Seedvault backups, may be a better option.

Why not install FileBrowser or some file server instead of the huge and bloated NextCloud ?

Because Nextcloud can easily be used with the official Android app, which can act as a file location provider in Android, and e.g. be used for Seedvault Backups.

lcalamar I downloaded the app from f-droid. On the initial screen immediately pops up a window to enter the address of the server, which I do not have. Do I necessarily have to have my own private server?

Wilflower Either your own private server or you've signed up for a public server (likely paid). So the NExtcloud app is only the front-end to a backend server (wherever it is).

I wouldn't say it's a stupid idea, but I'm not sure what kind of setup you have in mind here.

In general, phones don't make good servers. And Nextcloud server is a particularly bloated piece of software. Even if it is technically possible, it seems unlikely that it would be reliable enough to be useful.

Why would anyone do this?

I run it on my 7a too, but this is not what @othemad mad is asking about.

They are wanting to run the Nextcloud server software on a phone.
