Opencloud clean install not working.

[andreasfink]

Hello all

I try to get opencloud set up on a freshly installed Debian 13 VM and followed the instruction form here https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/intro

which is basically

curl -L https://opencloud.eu/install | /bin/bash

this fails miserably claiming there is no config.json file (which is true)

After creating by hand a config.json which I put together from some notes I found, opencloud starts on port 9200 with a self signed certificate. So far so good but to make it work properly i had to create a systemd startup file.
So at this point I have a working instance on https:/:9200/

A self signed certificate is however totally unusable on a Mac with Safari (you can accept the certificate a million times manually, it just never works). It works with some warnings in Firefox however but thats not a solution.

So I tried to put a nginx reverse proxy in front which handles letsencrypt and all should be good. But this approach fails miserably as well. Either I get "Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server." or I end up with "oops something went wrong" with no indication where to look for any error.

I only want to use it for simple filesharing across platforms. No fancy apps or the like.
Also I dont need docker virtualisation or the like. It just makes life more complicated for no benefit.

Anyone having a hint how to take this further? I want to get rid of my owncloud instance as its sync performance is too slow.
