A good conference is like a concert. You plan months ahead, venue might be far away, hotels expensive and travel burdensome. When the first tune is heard, all stress is gone. To be a success, it needs both the stage performers and background technicians, even more the audience.

How to install Nextcloud from the console, set configuration parameters and policies and install additional apps via shell commands
The term “in the cloud” is heard much these days. A growing number of services support or even rely on data storage and compute power over the net to provide various conveniences to end-users and enterprises.
