Nextcloud (a fork of Owncloud) provides file hosting on a private server and when running on Crostini provides a simple way of accessing an advantage of Crostini in allowing multiple containers means you can run Nextcloud effectively in background while you explore and modify Start by creating a new container based on the original penguin one. I already made a copy of 'penguin' and called it 'google' but you can take your existing container and add Nextcloud if you prefer.   lxc copy google nextcloud # or lxc copy penguin nextcloud   lxc start nextcloud Nextcloud depends on an underlying LAMP server so first install Apache:   sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-intl php-imagick   sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-gd php7.2-json php7.2-mysql php7.2-curl php7.2-mbstring php7.2-intl php-imagick   sudo apt install wget # only on Debian stretch   sudo wget   sudo rm nextcloud-14.0.0.zip   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data nextcloud and configure a port forwarding rule using the 'Connection Forwarder' app: Finally to be able to access your Nextcloud container from other devices on your LAN enter: You also need to prevent your Chrome device from sleeping so under Chrome's 'Settings' then 'Power' select 'Keep display on'. This post shows how to set up Samba access to part of the VM filesystem used by Crostini. In an earlier post on backups & restores and this post shows how the exported tarfile can be easily moved to another machine for safekeeping. (note that the 'chmod' command is only necessary if you wish to write to the VM directory) Next install the Samba package in your container 'penguin':        valid users = linuxiumcomau        browseable = yes and make a note of the container's IP address using 'hostname -I'. You can optionally test that Samba is working by connecting as a Network File share: Finally you need to add a forwarding rule to be able to access the Samba file share from an external machine on the same LAN as you
