Migrated my self-hosted Nextcloud to AIO and I absolutely love it

Just wanted to share my happiness.

AIO is the new (at least on my timeline) installation method of Nextcloud, where most of the heavy-lifting is taken care of automatically.

I was about to ask why this is better than the docker installation, but I see step one is to install docker haha.

I've been running the docker container for a long time, it works very well. It is a bit more complicated if you try and use extensions that require seperatw containers (like setting up collabora), but that can be done as well. It's just more complicated.

I do remember needing to know how to access the internal terminal a few times, but I don't remember why. If I think of it I'll come back and add instructions.

Edit: It's to be able to run occ commands:

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ "Command goes here"

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan --all

With AIO it's almost the same: sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ

As a former self-configured docker compose NC user, I have to say I'm way happier with the AIO. But still, the older docker method was head and shoulders over any other method of running NC that I'd used.
