Install smbclient During Nextcloud Setup
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I’m in the middle of configuring a fresh Nextcloud instance on a Linux server and have just hit the familiar warning that external storage won’t work because smbclient is missing. I have full root / sudo access, but I’d rather have someone experienced handle the package installation, required PHP modules, and any config tweaks so that “SMB/CIFS” and “SMB/CIFS using OC login” options show up and test successfully inside Nextcloud.
What I expect from you
• Install the smbclient binary and its PHP bindings on the server.
• Enable and verify the corresponding Nextcloud app (External Storage Support).
• Confirm, through the Nextcloud admin panel, that mounting SMB shares is now available and functional.
• Provide a brief list of commands or steps you ran so I can document the process.
The server is already up, SSH is ready, and the job should be straightforward for anyone comfortable with apt/yum–based package managers and typical Nextcloud permissions.
