On Unraid, you can very easily create a clone of Google Drive, OneDrive, ... to keep control of your data and free yourself from their limits (notably the disk space available for free).
To do this, simply install a database server (in this case: MariaDB) and the Nextcloud application.
To get started, go to the "Shares" tab of your Unraid server and click: Add share.

Specify "nextcloud" for the name of this share, then if you have a cache on your Unraid server, preferably choose "Use cache pool (for new files/directories): Prefer" to improve the performance of your future Nextcloud server when file storage on it.
Then, click on the "Add share" button at the bottom of the page.

To work, Nextcloud can use an internal database or an external database (created on a separate database server).
So you will need MariaDB in this case.
To do this, go to the "APPS" tab, search for "mariadb" and install the "mariadb" application from the "linuxserver" repository.

This form appears.
Note that, by default, mariadb will be connected to the physical network using Unraid's network bridge.

In this form, modify these fields:
Next, click the "Apply" button.

Wait while MariaDB downloads and installs.
Then, click: Done.

In the "Docker" tab of your Unraid server, you will see the "mariadb" container appear.
In the "Port mappings" column, you will see the IP address and port of this database server.
Important : you will need this information which you will have to indicate when configuring Nextcloud so that it can create the necessary data for its database.

To download and install Nextcloud, go to the "APPS" tab, search for "nextcloud" and install the "nextcloud" application from the "linuxserver" repository.

Click "Default" for the branch to install.

The configuration form for the "nextcloud" container appears.
As you can see, by default, Nextcloud uses port 443 for its web interface.
However, this will conflict with the Unraid web interface, so you will have to change it to another number (of your choice).

Change the port to use for the Nextcloud web interface (WebUI) to 4443 for example.
Then, select your "nextcloud" share for the NextCloud "/data" folder.
Which gives: /mnt/user/nextcloud.
Then, click Apply.

Wait while Nextcloud downloads and installs.
Then, click: Done.

In the "Docker" tab of your Unraid server, you will see the "nextcloud" content appear.
