+		  <p> In this tutorial we're going to cover how you can install an .onion only Nextcloud instance, Nextcloud is a FOSS alternative to replace popular file hosting websites like google cloud or onedrive, which can be ideal to make sure that your files are backed up somewhere, all while preserving anonymity. I recommend self-hosting this service at home, that way you make sure that your personal data stays at your home, rather than making it readable by an adversary on a remote server.</p>
+<p>Nextcloud is an indispensable tool for productivity, as you're going to see:</p>
+<img src="graph.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>What we are trying to achieve here, is <b>a setup where we can have a single folder synchronized on multiple devices,</b> so that any change done from any of those devices, to that same folder, gets to be automatically shared and synchronized accross all of the other devices aswell. And of course, we're going to achieve that while maintaining our anonymity, by routing all traffic through Tor. </p>

          <h2><b>Serverside Setup </b></h2>
-<p>follow the other tutorial that talks about how to setup a .onion domain here: <a href="http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/torwebsite/index.html">http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/torwebsite/index.html</a></p>
-<p>Then just install nextcloud... wait a bit, and then check if it worked</p>
-<img src="41.png" class="imgRz">
-<p>Boom that worked!</p>

+<p>So to install nextcloud we're going to use docker-compose as follows:</p>
+<pre><code class="nim">
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ apt install docker.io docker-compose -y
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ vim docker-compose.yml
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ cat docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  db:
+    image: mariadb:latest
+    restart: always
+    command: --transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED
+    volumes:
+      - db:/var/lib/mysql
+    environment:
+      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=P@SSW0RD
+      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=P@SSW0RD
+      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
+      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
+
+  redis:
+    image: redis:alpine
+    restart: always
+
+  app:
+    image: nextcloud:latest
+    restart: always
+    ports:
+      - 127.0.0.1:9639:80
+    depends_on:
+      - redis
+      - db
+    volumes:
+      - nextcloud:/var/www/html
+    environment:
+      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=P@SSW0RD
+      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
+      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
+      - MYSQL_HOST=db
+      - NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS=nxtcloud.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion
+      - OVERWRITEHOSTPROTOCOL=http
+      - OVERWRITEHOST=nxtcloud.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion
+
+volumes:
+  nextcloud:
+  db:
+
+</pre></code>
+<p>Don't forget to replace the "P@SSW0RD" with a password of your own, and that docker-compose.yaml will expose the nextcloud service on local port 9639, so let's run docker-compose up -d to run the service:</p>
+<p></p>
+<pre><code class="nim">
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ docker-compose up -d
+Starting nextcloud_redis_1 ... done
+Starting nextcloud_db_1    ... done
+Starting nextcloud_app_1   ... done
+</pre></code>
+
+<p>Then we also setup the torrc config to make sure that our nextcloud instance also goes through tor for every external connections it has to make:</p>
+<pre><code class="nim">
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ cd tor-data
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv/nextcloud/tor-data]
+→ ls
+torrc
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv/nextcloud/tor-data]
+→ vim torrc/torrc
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv/nextcloud/tor-data]
+→ cat torrc/torrc
+ SOCKSPort 0.0.0.0:9050
+
+</pre></code>
+<p>Then we setup the nginx config to be able to access the nextcloud service accordingly:</p>
+<pre><code class="nim">
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/nxtcloud.conf
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/10 ] [/srv/nextcloud/tor-data]
+→ cat /etc/nginx/sites-available/nxtcloud.conf
+upstream nxtcloudbackend {
+        server 127.0.0.1:9639;
+}
+
+server {
+        ######## TOR WEBSITE ########
+        listen 4443;
+        listen [::]:4443;

+            #proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
+            client_max_body_size 20G;
+        }
+}
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/nxtcloud.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ nginx -t
+nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
+nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/9 ] [/srv/nextcloud]
+→ nginx -s reload
+2025/03/26 09:46:30 [notice] 2097639#2097639: signal process started
+
+</pre></code>
+<p>Make sure that you follow <a href="../torwebsite/index.html">this tutorial</a> to know how to have your own custom onion domain name:</p>
+
+<pre><code class="nim">
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~]
+→ cat /etc/tor/torrc
+
+HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/onions/nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/
+HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:4443
+SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050
+
+[ Wonderland ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~]
+→ systemctl restart tor@default
+
+</pre></code>
+
+
+<p> then you can proceed with accessing your nextcloud instance:</p>

+<img src="49.png" class="imgRz">
+<img src="51.png" class="imgRz">
+<img src="52.png" class="imgRz">

+<img src="54.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>Then here we can edit the nextcloud appearance aswell:</p>
+<img src="55.png" class="imgRz">
+<img src="56.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>So when you want to login, it'll look like that:</p>
+<img src="57.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>Once logged in, you can drag and drop files from your computer directly into the nextcloud web interface:</p>
+<img src="58.png" class="imgRz">
+<p>And that's it! You now have a nextcloud instance working via .onion to easily save your files remotely.</p>
