[Freedombox-discuss] NextCloud feedback

I'm trying to use NextCloud on my FreedomBox and so far:

- It took me a while to install NextCloud because I did not have enough
  disk space, but there was no warning about that and the reported
  errors didn't point to disk space as the source of the problem.
  It would be good to have at least a mention of the approximate amount
  of disk space necessary (and where), or even an automatic check with
  a clear error message.

- The doc says:

       All users of FreedomBox can use Nextcloud.
       To perform administrative actions, use the "nextcloud-admin" user
       after setting a password here.

  but after installing NextCloud when my FB user tries to use NC it
  first gets prompted for a username and password and using the FB
  username+password fails.  Does that mean FB does not support "single
  sign on" for NC?  Then what does "All users of FreedomBox can use
  Nextcloud"?  Or is it supposed to work and I'm just bumping into
  a bug/misconfiguration?


- Stefan
