NextCloud: Heroku: Install: Setup Database & Admin Account with S3 File Storage
Contents
Provide Credentials for NextCloud Installation
Provide a Username & Password
Provide your new Administrator account's username and password that you will use to log into NextCloud once installed. This is important right now. Don't loose these credentials.
File Storage
Even though we are going to be using S3 for file storage, we still need to keep this set the way it is.
Database
We will need to obtain the database information so that NextCloud can properly setup and store the Database structure as well as the Admin Username & Password you are supplying. WE will need to get this information from our Heroku App.
Set the database to PostgreSQL and finally, input the Database Credentials gathered earlier.
Setup Database & Initial Config
It's now time to Click the Finish Button.
Nextcloud will be in an installing state for a few minutes. This is normal. However, note that this will fail and that's ok.
You're going to receive either one of two errors. You may either receive an Application error from Heroku:
Or, an error from Nextcloud: The username is already being used .
When you receive either of these two errors, Do NOT click the Finish Button again!, nor Do NOT attempt to redo the installation again. This is normal during the install process. Instead, move to the next step: Update Config File with Database Credentials
