Private cloud disks are actually nothing new, and there are many tools and methods for building private clouds on the Internet.
Let’s talk with you today, how to use Nextcloud to build a private cloud?
Why choose Nextcloud?
Nextcloud itself is free and open source, and it is very simple to set up, basically foolish.
Nextcloud supports many third-party plug-ins, which can easily integrate some services into the private cloud, such as email management, mind mapping, and online office, and most of them are free.
Nextcloud is not only suitable for individuals, but also for teams. It can share files and set simple permissions to facilitate data management within the team. Next, talk about how to use Nextcloud to build a private cloud!
I only provide some basic ideas here to help you understand the general process of building. You need to install and experience yourself. If you encounter problems, you should take the initiative to go to Baidu and think. 1. Download the Linux system
Since Nextcloud can only be built in a Linux system, it is necessary to build a Linux system environment.
Whether it is in a physical machine, a virtual machine, or a cloud server, you can build it as you like. Here I choose to use the desktop version of Ubuntu, and everyone chooses other linux systems according to personal preferences, such as CentOS.
Reason: The server version will not play, and the desktop version has a graphical interface, which makes it easier to get started.
2. Install Linux system
The original plan was to install a dual system of Windows10+ubuntu, but after the installation, you can only enter the Windows10 system directly, you cannot enter the Ubuntu system, and you cannot find the Ubuntu boot entry.
I was too lazy to toss any more, and the original computer didn't have any important data, so I directly formatted the disk and installed the Ubuntu system separately.
How to install ubuntu with a USB flash drive?
You can use ventoy, a domestic tool, to make a USB boot disk, and then copy the image file of ubuntu to the USB flash drive, the computer will boot from the USB flash drive, and finally follow the prompts to install it step by step.
3. Build a site environment
The next step is to build a website. You need to build a site environment first. I use the pagoda panel, and I use Nginx+PHP+MySQL.
You can use their free version, which can be searched in the pagoda panel, and can be downloaded and installed directly online, which is very simple.
4. Create a site and upload source code
Creating a private cloud site is relatively simple, just follow the instructions on the pagoda panel to create it.
Then upload the Nextcloud source code to the root directory of the site and unzip it.
5. Automatic deployment and installation
Next, open the created website with a browser. The first time you open it, you need to set an administrator account and password, and then the private cloud will be deployed automatically, which is completely foolish. After deployment, log in is like this.
The private cloud is set up, and then it's up to you how to play!
Although it is relatively simple to use Nextcloud to build a private cloud, I personally feel that it is more suitable for those who like to toss. For those who are not very fond of tossing, I recommend a simple and absolutely safe cloud disk-Safe Planet.
What is a safe planet?
Safe Planet is a customizable SaaS cloud storage. It is currently the only product of its kind in China that applies end-to-end encryption technology. It provides safe and convenient file sharing and collaboration, and helps enterprises and individuals solve cloud storage data leakage and data theft problems.
What is end-to-end encryption?
End-to-end encryption is a terminal-based data privacy protection program. User data encryption and key generation are performed on computers and mobile phones, and as a server, only ciphertexts are stored without keys. Therefore, even the service provider itself cannot decrypt it. If the server is compromised, the *** can only get meaningless garbled codes. The user can restore the data and use it normally with the key.
It can be said that end-to-end encryption fundamentally solves the problem of data leakage, but it is also a double-edged sword. Service providers cannot control user data, and it is difficult to use these data for commercial value. With the help of end-to-end encryption technology, company business data and personal privacy data can be safely stored on cloud servers, and data can be shared securely with internal and external members, without worrying about being threatened and hacked, or by service providers leakage.
Safe Planet data storage uses AWS cloud services and has four core advantages:
1. Bank-level security
The storage and sharing of all personal and corporate data is protected by end-to-end encryption, and there is no clear text in the whole process.
2. Unlimited speed, access anytime and anywhere
With high-speed and stable nodes all over the world, you can get the best user experience anytime and anywhere. The transmission speed basically depends on the user's bandwidth. The measured download and upload are unlimited. Even free users can also download without limitation.
3. Multi-terminal synchronization, team sharing and collaboration
Safe Planet supports mainstream terminals and browsers, can easily invite and manage other collaborators, provide fine-grained permission control, and track and audit important file operations.
4. On-demand customization and flexible expansion
Individuals and corporate users can customize as needed, provide privatized deployment, end-to-end encryption SDK (support national secret algorithm SM2/3/4)
Friends who love toss can try it out according to my steps and build their own private cloud disk. If you want to use mature and safe and stable products, you can try Safe Planet. I personally use Safe Planet for a long time. The page is simple and easy to get started. Easy to use. Registering now will give you members and storage space, so you don’t have to experience it quickly .
