Is it possible to use something like dietpi, install nextcloud as well as have a NAS in the same thing accessing the same files? What I would like is a system where I can access the NAS via my Linux or windows machines through something like samba share and also be able to access the same files via nextcloud on let's say a phone via the nextcloud app. If this is possible please can you guide me on how to do this? Thank you.

Edit 1:

Seems like people are misunderstanding my question. What I wanted to have is a single raspberry pi 3 with a samba Nas on it as well as it being a nextcloud server at the same time on the same device

Edit 2:

Would anyone know of any tools that can help me achieve this on a raspberry pi 3? If this is with dietpi then brilliant.

Last time I looked at this nextcloud supported entries in fstab as normal.

So you could add a line along this format:

//192.168.1.20/nassharename /var/nc_data/<user>/files cifs user,rw,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0

Where

  • 192.168.1.20 is the IP address of the NAS - do not use the name as fstab sometimes fails to find it in my network
  • is the next cloud user
  • cifs is the NAS share type. Not sure if you can pick up AFP shares here
  • user,rw etc are the rights you want to pass up to the users on the cloud share (noexec is a good idea).

If you do not want to edit fstab, you can use the External Storage Support application AFTER you have enabled it on the apps screen:

  • Go to add storage
  • Enter a share name
  • Drop down the new box - select NAS share type
  • Drop down the correct authentication type
  • Enter security details
