🚀 NEXT STEPS - DEPLOYMENT TO NEXTCLOUD VM
============================================
The Nextcloud VM is at: 192.168.88.62
Choose one deployment method:
OPTION A: Copy Bundle & Run Installer (Recommended)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. From your workstation, copy bundle to Nextcloud VM:
scp -r /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
2. SSH into Nextcloud VM:
ssh root@192.168.88.62
3. Run installer:
cd /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy
sudo bash install-nextcloud-backup.sh
4. Test backup:
sudo /opt/nextcloud-backup/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh incremental
5. Enable automation:
sudo systemctl enable nextcloud-backup.timer
sudo systemctl start nextcloud-backup.timer
OPTION B: Manual File Deployment
──────────────────────────────────
1. Copy each file individually:
scp /home/jgitta/nextcloud-backup-to-backblaze.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
scp /home/jgitta/install-nextcloud-backup.sh root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
scp /tmp/nextcloud-backup-config.env root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/.env
scp /tmp/b2-credentials.env root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/
2. SSH and install:
ssh root@192.168.88.62
cd /tmp
sudo bash install-nextcloud-backup.sh
OPTION C: Via Jump Host (Proxmox)
──────────────────────────────────
If direct SSH doesn't work:
scp -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@192.168.88.25" \
-r /tmp/nextcloud-backup-deploy root@192.168.88.62:/tmp/

✅ VERIFICATION CHECKLIST
=========================
After deployment, verify:
On Nextcloud VM (192.168.88.62):
☐ B2 credentials authenticate successfully
☐ Dry-run backup completes (sudo DRY_RUN=true ...)
☐ Real backup uploads files to B2
☐ Timer is enabled and active
☐ First automatic backup runs at scheduled time
In Backblaze B2:
☐ Files appear in jg-nextcloud bucket
☐ nextcloud-db-*.sql.zst files present (database)
☐ nextcloud-files-*.tar.zst files present (data)
☐ File sizes are reasonable (not 0 bytes)
🎯 SUCCESS CRITERIA
===================
Your deployment is successful when:
1. Installer runs without errors
2. B2 credentials work
3. Dry-run backup shows what would be backed up
4. Real backup completes and uploads to B2
5. Timer is enabled and scheduled
6. First automatic backup runs at 2 AM
⏱️ ESTIMATED TIMELINE
======================
- Deployment: 5-10 minutes
- Installer run: 2-3 minutes
- Dry-run test: 5-10 minutes
- Real backup: 30-60 minutes (depends on data size)
- Verification: 5 minutes
Total: ~1 hour for full setup & testing
💾 BACKUP STATISTICS
====================
Nextcloud at VM103:
- Data directory: /mnt/nextcloud-data (~65% of 2TB = ~1.3TB)
- Database size: ~500MB (typical)
- Expected backup: 1.3-1.8TB raw
After compression (zstd):
- Compressed size: 400-700GB (40-70% reduction)
- B2 cost: ~$2.40-4.20/month for storage
🔐 SECURITY NOTES
=================
Credentials:
✅ B2 credentials stored in /etc/nextcloud-backup/ (chmod 600)
✅ Database password in /opt/nextcloud-backup/.env
✅ No credentials in logs or backups
✅ No credentials committed to git
Best Practices:
✅ Rotate B2 keys annually
✅ Test restore procedures monthly
✅ Monitor B2 console for unauthorized access
✅ Keep backup logs for audit trail
📞 SUPPORT RESOURCES
====================
If you encounter issues:
1. Check logs:
sudo journalctl -u nextcloud-backup.service -n 100
sudo tail -f /opt/nextcloud-backup/.backups/logs/backup_*.log
2. Test B2 auth:
b2 authorize-account 00522b2471e5f090000000002 K005yPezlVJiBoZezpTKx8mNtwG5vfA
b2 account-info
3. Verify MySQL:
mysql -u nextcloud -p'Jogiocsi1211+' -e "SELECT 1"
4. Review docs:
See /home/jgitta/DEPLOY_TO_NEXTCLOUD_VM.md (Troubleshooting section)
