OVA deployment in vsphere 8 fails with error

[enoch85]

Thanks! Will have a look at this when time allows. Meanwhile, please extract the OVA and import the VMDKs.

[agonzalezm]

it doesnt work neither and looks like the vdmk is thick provisioned incorrect to 1TB

When adding it shows as 1TB and cant be modified

also fails in the same way and later when editing

[enoch85]

All our Ms are thin provisioned. Strange that it's thick for you.

If thick, the VM file would be 1 TB once extracted, I guess it's not?

[agonzalezm]

when extracted is not 1tb , any update on this when will be fix the import in vsphere?

[enoch85]

I don't know when I have time to setup a new vsphere 8 environment to test. Sorry.

[agonzalezm]

but in what version is this OVA has been tested ? extracting the ova with 7zip shows unexpected end of data error is this normal?

[enoch85]

The file must be corrupted during download. Please try to download it again.

If it fails, please send an email and I'll send you a direct link.

[enoch85]

But wait! That's AIO, not this VM.

Try this VM instead: https://www.hanssonit.se/nextcloud-vm/

omg nextcloud is so confusing with so many downloads and deployment options and documentation is not very clear, what is the difference between AIO vm and this vm then?

I only see 28.0 vm image in that link i want download 27

[enoch85]

The background is a long story, but the VM was made before the AIO, and the AIO dev worked with the VM. Then it was decided that Nextcloud wanted "their own" thing, so the dev from the VM was hired by Nextcloud and AIO was born.

The concept is the same, much like Pepsi and Coca Cola. The main difference is that AIO is Docker based, and the VM is not.

[enoch85]

Also, we only develop the latest for release and we don't save releases except for the Proxmox VM.

You can build it yourself though by downloading the released zip or tar and follow the build instructions, basically run the install script in a clean Ubuntu server 22.04
