Backups will most likely be on a Synology nas. My biggest dilemma now is to use KVM or Hyper-V. I have tons of Fedora VMs on HV 2016 with ZERO issues but in the back of my mind I'm thinking of a Fedora KVM host and Fedora guests for NC and Nginx proxy.
Hyper-V is perfectly fine running Fedora workloads. Why change when there is no business or technical reason to do so?
Might be a brand new customer deployment, so "change" might be not what we normally think of it being. If this customer has other Hyper-V that they are sticking with, yeah, I'd stick with it.
-
@jaredbusch Good to know. They are a MS only business so I will probably stick with HV. I have set up KVM on Fedora and use virt-manager on a Fedora desktop to manage but never Cockpit for management.

I have that at home and a potential client that will move to RHEL 7 with KVM.

@travisdh1 I was 99% sure that I was going with HV but I like reassurance.

This is how I'm currently backing up my Nextcloud.
At work, on my Hyper-V host, I'm using Altaro to backup the VM.
At home, on my KVM host, I'm only backing the data and database.Backup

NC's own instructions work pretty well, last that I knew.

We use Fedora 28 for our installs. Works great.

Is your install guide still the same, no changes? I think your's was a SaltStack guide?
JB also had a guide.Let me go search for them.

I have used @JaredBusch guide many times with great success since switching from Ubuntu to Fedora.
-
The guide using salt stack (it has been a while) didn't work for me with multiple tries. Could not create new folders within NC.

That's weird. We've used it several times, no issues.

This is why I never post that type of guides. There are too many little things that can be different that cause a "scripted guide" to fail.

I think that the guide specified a starting point, though. In theory, shouldn't be any variance.

I don't disagree with you on that.

Hmmm, sounds like one of those "MS messed up" scenarios we were discussing in the backup thread(s).

Yes, but it's also a "it didn't lose them their data" because they had local copies, scenarios we were also discussing. So a good example of both.

Actually it sounded like MS found them and put them back.
Local copies would also have been removed if they were "deleted" at the MS side.

Good point. The real problem here is the "customer shaming" that MS always does. Anytime MS is at fault, they try to shame the customer. Whether it is through official channels or "look the other way" as their engineers go into communities and do it. MS employees are out there attacking any customer that dares to mention that they've had a problem.
Like in this thread. Even once MS had admitted the mistake, and fixed it, an MS employee was still on the offensive trying to shame the customer and went ballistic once it was obvious he didn't even know how MS products worked.
