How do I log in to Nextcloud?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Nextcloud is ready". The first Nextcloud install can take a little longer, and the page refreshes itself.
- Click Open app or the link in the Site address row.
- Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is
yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". This is your administrator account.
The rows in your panel
| Row | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Site address | Your Nextcloud address, where the login screen also is |
| Login and Password | Your administrator account |
Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Nextcloud.
What the install sets up
- The database, cache and background jobs are already configured, so there is no setup wizard.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free
sslip.ioaddress based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens overhttp://on your IP address instead. - Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
After your first login
- Change your password in your personal settings. The panel keeps showing the original password, so save the new one yourself.
- Create separate accounts for your team, and keep the administrator account out of daily use.
- In the desktop and mobile apps, use the Site address value as the server address.
- Add an email server in the administration settings so password resets and notifications can go out. The install doesn't set this up.
Your files live on the server's disk. If it starts to fill up, you can scale your server up. To use your own domain, see this article.
No server yet? Order a server with Nextcloud installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
