Installed Julia 1.2. Now my Julia server is crashing in MS Code. Disabled comments on my WordPress Log/blog to return it to a log status.
More NextCloud Android app issues and mass transfers!
I think NextCloud app will be usable for most normal daily cloud transfers when the transfer volume is relatively low, but I needed a faster way to transfer large directories on my phone that have accumulated over the years! So, I moved large directories to my hard drive via direct cable connect to my Linux …

NextCloud Android app issues
Issue #1: If you run low on storage while coping photos results are unreliable, which may be expected. Some, perhaps many, files will not be uploaded. And why was I low low on storage? Because the app creates a temp folder with copies of the photos you are copying. I had over 600MB in this …
More on NextCloud!
This was an educational, fun and potentially useful project. With all the privacy concerns out there it’s good to have options. It can eliminate services such as Dropbox and Google photos. No agreeing to terms of services to companies who aren’t giving away these free services for free. There’s a cost! To the best of …
NextCloud move/increase storage!
OK, I think I sucessfully moved my NextCloud data file by following these instructions… https://help.nextcloud.com/t/howto-change-move-data-directory-after-installation/17170 BTW, having phpMyAdmin available, which I installed on addition to LAMP, makes the MySQL changes much easier.

But when I started looking into it, article after article says moving data storage is not recommended and it is strongly advised to reinstall to accomplish this. …
I broke NextCloud!
Well I borked NextCloud install trying to update PHP from 7.2 to 7.3. This gave me an excuse to reinstall everything the way I should have the 1st time, I separated the HD partitions of /home from /root. I used clonezilla to create a “clone” of my installation (Ubuntu Server, LAMP and a properly installed …
NextCloud DDNS update and server hardening
Create cron job to update my DDNS with my dynamic IP address, (so far my IP address hasn’t changed since I started using the DDNS)… 1) crontab -e (this is the crontab edit command) 2) add the following line (without double quotes) at the bottom of the file to run the script every 10 minutes, …
