NXCloud Install

[anthonyave]

Hi All,

I have installed NXCloud as per the instructions on the tutorial pages. I have followed the tutorial on https://tutorial.nxfilter.org/a-installing-on-linux.php using the replacement names and packages as required and instructed.

It is a clean version (Complete fresh default install) of Ubuntu Server 20.04.

Two issues I have noticed:
1.) There is no log file to tail as instructed. For NXCloud where is this located?
2.) There is no login page on http://<ipaddress>/admin

Could someone point me to full install instructions? Do I need a WAMP or LAMP installed prior to install? or is there a bug on NXCLOUD 4.6.3.8 ?

Any pointers to information or guidance would be greatly appreciated?

Kind regards

Anthony

Update: I have found the solution, unsure of the actual issue. The install fails if you do not run apt-get update on Ubuntu 20.04. There appears to be a dependency that doesn't register a failure. will update further if I find the answer.

We only need a JRE for dependency as far as I know. Was there JRE installed before you do 'apt-get update'?

On the first clean install, no update was performed, so JRE was installed as per the installation instructions. Updating the system after installing did not resolve the issue. I must note that no log folder or file was present on this install
I did a clean install, updated, upgraded and the ran the install instructions again.
This appears to have worked correctly, log folder was present. Hope this helps.

Don't know what happened to your system. Just downloaded ubuntu-20.04.5-live-server-amd64 and installed and then installed JRE and then installed NxCloud using the latest DEB package. No other thing installed and I didn't do 'apt-get update'. It worked OK.

When there's no /nxcloud/log directory, it was not started even. That happens when you don't have JRE. If you had JRE maybe some other reason to block it from running its initialization code.

Thanks for the update, it is entirely possible something broke, ill investigate and attempt to replicate and let you know.
Slightly off-topic, is there a customizable NXupdate for Dynamic IP Clients of NXCloud?

You better write your own, classifier1.nxfilter.org/

If you just want to change its icon and name, you can repackage it using inno-setup like installer program. You can find its zip package here, https://tutorial.nxfilter.org/g-customizing-agents.php

Hello,
Do you have a video on how to customize the nxproxy agent, and especially how to compile it?

[support200]

No. We don't have a video for it. But we use inno-setup to build its Windows package. You can do the same. You just need to install everything in the same directory and run /nxproxy/bin/instsvc.bat at the last step.

Hello,
After a few modifications, the installation works. However, I can't run the "bin/unstsvc.bat" file when uninstalling the software. Do you know how to include it during the uninstallation?

Read this first: https://tutorial.nxfilter.org/d-nxpr...ltering.php#un

So, we don't have its uninstaller.

Okay, thanks for your feedback
