We will show you how to set up your LibraHost Nextcloud VPS.

📋 Prerequisites#

  • An active LibraHost Nextcloud VPS
  • Access to your VPS IP address
  • A web browser

⏳ VPS Installation#

Once your VPS is delivered, you need to wait a few minutes for the Nextcloud installation to complete.

Once the installation is finished, you will need to go to the following address:

https://VPS_IP:8080

⚠️ Important: Replace VPS_IP with the actual IP address of your server.

🔑 Initial Configuration#

Step 1: Retrieving the Passphrase#

Once on the Nextcloud AIO homepage, you will see a "Passphrase" displayed.

⚠️ Critical: Save this Passphrase in a safe place! It is required to administer your Nextcloud instance.

Step 2: Accessing the administration interface#

Click the "Open Nextcloud AIO login" button to access the administration interface.

Step 3: Login with the Passphrase#

On the login page:

  1. Enter the Passphrase you saved previously

🌐 Domain Configuration#

Step 4: Domain entry#

You will need to enter the domain where your Nextcloud will be accessible.

A domain is provided with the VPS that works as follows:

Format: ip(reversed).rev.as200136.net

Example:

  • With IP: 163.5.141.24
  • The domain will be: 24.141.5.163.rev.as200136.net

For your VPS:

ip(reversed).rev.as200136.net

Step 5: Domain validation#

Once you have entered your domain, click "Submit domain".

🔒 Security: Save these credentials in a safe place!
