Quick start

  1. Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
  2. Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80, 443 (web UI) — restrict to your own IP where possible.
  3. Open http://<your-VM-IP>/ in your browser and sign in.
  4. Print the generated admin credential (see the support page) and change it after first sign-in.

Get your admin password (one time)

SSH into the VM with the username + key you chose at deploy, then print the generated credential:

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /var/lib/nextcloud-firstboot-admin-pw

Sign in as admin (unless noted), then change the password immediately. The file is root-only and can be deleted once the password is stored securely.
