Install NextCloud 11 on Fedora 25 with SaltStack
-
So for example here, there are three files to save. Just save them to the locations specified for each file (literally just copy and paste them.) This is on the master, you never log into the minion.
Then from the master (and assuming your minion's name is minion1) you would run a command like this...
salt 'minion1' state.apply nextcloudAnd wait as the magic happens and your blank minion turns into a fully working NextCloud 11 instance.

In /srv/salt/ I need to create nextcloud.sls, ssl.conf & redis.conf
Copy & paste the contents
state.apply = magic? -

That's so easy even a caveman :clown: like me could do it.
I was over-thinking & kept "googling" for a NextCloud.sls download

Because Salt defines the state of the system, sharing configurations becomes really easy.

It's your NextCloud 11 file that got me started on my own, lol.

If you are installing multiple 3rd party apps like NextCloud, ownCloud (i know, bad example) etc...
Do you continue to use the same master? (I know you would have multiple minions)

Yes, a single master can handle tens of thousands of servers.

Does one need to worry about increasing the resources of this "master" vm - more RAM, more disk space etc
What kind of resources are you starting with - RAM, vCPU, disk etc?

Eventually, but Masters use almost no resources. 512MB and one vCPU is really enough for all you will ever need to handle.

Very light system. You won't need much. And since it is only configuration even if it slows down, you won't care.

Any good reasons to not accept the default values?
-
Depends, what are you building? For a NextCloud instance, 25GB is not much storage.

Welcoming @brandon220 to the club as he got his NC11 install based on this state file up and running yesterday.
-
@scottalanmiller Thank you sir. I do have another question - I set up another user and the email for alerts etc. I shutdown the VM from the terminal. Went to my Hyper-V manager and did an export. I started the server again and all is well. Went to the browser to start working in NC again but got page cannot be displayed error. I issued a start command for the httpd service and then got a blank page but no error. Re-ran the salt 'servername' state.apply nextcloud command again and got the return message Succeeded 19 Changed 3. The NC instance is then working again and my info is still there. I am trying to figure out where the issue is. Not sure if this has happened to any of the other installs that you have done or witnessed.

I see the issue @brandon220 it's really simple and on my side. You are in no danger, it's just that the things you need turn themselves off on restart. I have to run out the door but I will get this fixed when I get back and you can just run the state.apply again and it will be fixed.
-
@scottalanmiller Interesting. I will check back later this evening. What in the state file caught your attention? I'm new to state files so it is very intriguing to me.

There you go, just update your state file with the original one and state.apply again. I had to add the - enable: True to the web server and two database servers or else they would not be running on reboot.
-
@scottalanmiller I will make the change. Thanks again.

You bet. Thanks for using the script!
