# Nextcloud On GNU Guix System

I found a guide on how to set up Nextcloud on GNU Guix System, but ran into a few complications.

=> https://www.gnucode.me/nextcloud-and-guix-system-server.html Nextcloud and Guix System Server

I currently do not have a domain.  I have instead been using the hostname on the local network, "farnsworth".

## 4. Set up a basic nginx static website without encryption

The web server works, but I get the error message "403 Forbidden".

I did give the web server the recommended file permissions:

```
sudo chown -R nginx /srv
sudo chmod -R u-rwx /srv
```

## 5. HTTPS support

System reconfigure succeeded.  However, I was unable to set up certificates.

```
caleb@farnsworth ~$ sudo /var/lib/certbot/renew-certificates
Password: 
sudo: /var/lib/certbot/renew-certificates: command not found
```

## 6. Modify Guix config

The instructions link to a very long file.  I do not know exactly which changes to make to my system configuration.

> Modify your guix config based on my the-nx.com-current-config.scm. You will need to enable these services (dbus-service), (service docker-service-type), (elogind service), (service certbot-service-type), and (service nginx-service-type).

I do have:

* D-Bus
* Docker
* elogind
* certbot
* Nginx
