I want to run Nextcloud on droplet, but I don't want to use 'external storage' it's limit the features to work with files and very slow.
Is there any option I can attach block storage poll and run it native when insta...

Hi there,
I believe that this should be doable. You need to first create the Block Storage and then mount it to your Droplet as per the documentation here:

Question
I have followed every guide to disable ipv6 and yet after EVERY reboot I am still seeing it enabled. How do I disable it?
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 0
Accepted Answer:
Looks like /etc/default/grub.d/50-cloudimg-settings.cfg overrides the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty1 console=ttyS0 ipv6.disable=1" line. So set it in that file and then run update-grub.
