🚀 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/

After deployment, verify:
|

||||
☐ B2 credentials authenticate successfully
|
||||
☐ Dry-run backup completes (sudo DRY_RUN=true ...)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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

💾 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
|
||||
|
||||
