Getting my truenas to see my domain

[Peter Canfield]

Hello I am trying to get my truenas to be seen through my google domain, I went by these directions from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AibYAOA7DqE I got everything configured the way he did and when I went to truenas.googledomainname.com it went to my router instead of my truenas.... any help please

have you tried port forwarding. Personally I won't expose TN to the internet.

Personally I won't expose TN to the internet.

...and you shouldn't.

Ok the problem is not actually truenas however i have nextcloud plugin on truenas with the same ip as truenas i was trying to log into NextCloud so i can send my files from outside of my network however i can not get any clear answers from anywhere on how i can set up my Nextcloud plugin to be associated with my google domain name

i have nextcloud plugin

Another bad idea:

iXsystems, when are you going to stop pretending that CORE has (usable) plugins?

Plugins are broken. We all know it, and you have no intention of fixing them. Most notably, @Kris Moore has said not to use them, and that they're "more or less deprecated": using plugins on CORE is a path to sadness. The plugin system is more or less deprecated and as you can tell, somewhat...

But broadly speaking, there are a few things that need to happen:

• Your (sub)domain name needs to point to your public IP address
• Your router needs to forward ports 80/443 to the appropriate IP/port on your LAN
• Your Nextcloud installation needs to be configured to know that the (sub)domain in question belongs to it
  • Your Nextcloud installation also needs to handle HTTPS with an appropriate certificate

The first of these is a DNS issue--you need to create a DNS record making the association. The second is a matter of configuring your router. The third is a matter of Nextcloud configuration, and I have no idea how that'd be done with the plugin--but nobody should be using plugins anyway. In my (admittedly biased) opinion, the best way to install Nextcloud is using my script:

GitHub - danb35/freenas-iocage-nextcloud: Script to create an iocage jail on FreeNAS for the latest Nextcloud 28 release, including Caddy, MariaDB or PostgreSQL, and Let's Encrypt

Script to create an iocage jail on FreeNAS for the latest Nextcloud 28 release, including Caddy, MariaDB or PostgreSQL, and Let's Encrypt - danb35/freenas-iocage-nextcloud

...which handles the third and fourth bullets automatically.
