How do I add and mount a new hard drive in an Ubuntu Appliance running on a NUC?

in flag

Background: I initially read through the How to use the Nextcloud Ubuntu Appliance tutorial and have successfully deployed Nextcloud on an Intel NUC. It's already configured and working through firewall with a static IP, SSL, and all that good stuff.

Question: How can I add a volume from a newly installed HDD in my NUC to the Nextcloud Ubuntu Appliance that's running on that NUC?

Are you saying that you are unable to add storage using the Nextcloud WebUI settings?

I'm saying that I don't fully understand how to add/mount a drive in an appliance. Is it the same as in Ubuntu Server?

No: Generally, an *appliance* (meaning an application + Ubuntu Core, distributed together as a single file) has no user account for the Ubuntu Core section. That means you cannot login to the OS and use the `mount` command (or any other OS command or setting). The only settings you can access are in the application. If this is an accurate description of the problem, then please file a bug report with the Appliance author. If I have misunderstood the situation, or if you not actually using https://ubuntu.com/appliance/nextcloud and the word "appliance" has caused confusion, then please clarify.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
