Hi, excuse me for chipping in, but I’m having no problems so far in using NextCloud with Rocky 8.5. I have noticed however, that mileage might vary regarding success in doing so. Maybe I can help?
@2rocky1 - there are 2 ways of using nextcloud:
- a desktop client (aka “the client”)
- gnome’s “online account” feature
I suppose you’re trying to use method #1 above, the client.
With that (taken from dnf, flathub), there are indeed some problems. Although installation worked for me, it didn’t display anything, just an empty UI. I worked around that by using the “appimage” version of the client which is available from nextcloud’s website:
https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/releases/download/v3.3.6/Nextcloud-3.3.6-x86_64.AppImage
( from their actual webpage, link is Install – Nextcloud )
Note: I can’t tell if that will work for you. It depends on your architecture, desktop environment, etc. But perhaps it’s worth trying out.
Which takes me to method #2:
In case you’re having the gnome desktop environment installed, check out “online accounts” in its system settings to see whether it features “nextcloud” and if that might do the trick for you.
Hope this helps, cheers, Thomas
