      The third question is similar to the second. I would like NC to create a consistent folder structure when a new user is created or when some similar event is triggered. I plan on seeing if I can treat NC like a folder redirection of sorts.

      This is interesting. Why do you want this, what's the use case? Since this would be purely for the user's personal files, not shared ones, what's the end goal?

      I want to sync the desktop and documents folders with NC, and I want to have a place to store personal scans that come off our network scanners. This would save me the hassle of manually creating all these. My goal is to get everything worth keeping onto a central place so it can be backed up at the VM level, and I dont ever have to worry about end points. Right now we tell employees to never keep anything valuable on their own hard drives, but they still do, and I refuse to backup endpoints.

            Is there a way to point devices on the LAN to the LAN address instead of the external address?

                That's where overloading DNS comes in, or configuring the router to hairpin.

                  FFS, we just had this conversation in your other thread.

                  You use an internal based DNS name. for clients that are only ever in the office.

                  This prevernt you from having to add your public domain to your internal DNS.

                    Sorry, I see this as a slightly different thing. I do have external access now, and I would like users who may be out of the office to prefer internal when available. This is probably not a big deal though, no need to get your panties in a bunch πŸ˜‰

                      well, I managed to lock my self out of NC, playing around with 2fa. I am unsure how to proceed, and may resort to just starting over.

                        Already tried disabling 2fa plugin via CLI?

                          yes. Apparently I did a backup code, and I cannot disable that.

                            I can't generate a new one because the app to do that from CLI wont enable because of DB issues.

                              You've got the worst of luck with Nextcloud. Since its not in production, I'll start all over with just the basic setup and then go from there.

                                JB has a post about redirecting or linking the home folders under user profiles to the NC folder . This would then sync to the NC server.

                                The hassle- you have to do it on the PC after the user logs in.

                                  I think so. I think one of my biggest problems is that I can generally intuitively understand stuff and can glean a lot. This usually allows me to understand things really quickly, but there are times when I jump the gun and it bites me. This is one of those times.

                                    The only way to get internal clients to use different DNS than public clients is to have an internal DNS Zone that is the same name as your external public DNS name. But doing it that way means you need to copy over all public DNS records to your internal DNS zone now except now you will point hosts names to internal IP addresses for those you want

                                      ok, I blew it away and created it again. It only took like 20-30 minutes this time.

                                            I am not sure what you are saying. If I do nothing, then users are going to be looking at the external domain and can access it that way as the default. I dont have to point it to the internal name.
