See /Talk for discussion on improvements.

Postgresql should work, but Nextcloud recommends MySQL. See MemberManual/Databases#Create_a_Database. We'll assume you name the database ${USER}_cloud.

Get the Nextcloud tarball from Nextcloud. Pick a directory where you'll host Nextcloud, for example $HOME/www/next.your.domain. We'll call it $NEXTDIR. Also pick a directory for data, for example $HOME/var/nextcloud. We'll call it $NEXTDATA. Unpack the source. Move the resulting nextcloud directory to where you decided to have the document root. Create an empty data directory in the document root. This is necessary for the duration of the installation, we'll delete it later.

Adjust directory permissions:

Delete some lines in the file core/Migrations/Version14000Date20180129121024.php. This doesn't play well with the HCoop default of not granting DROP on tables. The easiest fix seems to be to manually drop these later. dropTable('admin_sections'); - $schema->dropTable('admin_settings'); - $schema->dropTable('personal_sections'); - $schema->dropTable('personal_settings'); - return $schema; } }]]>

Create the data directory and give it correct permissions:

Open up the web site, which should now show you the installation wizard. Fill it out like so:

Run this command to convert a couple of column types that are not handled by the installer:

In the MySQL CLI, run: Run these Nextcloud CLI commands:

Add this line to $NEXDIR/config/config.php, to enable the APCu cache: '\OC\Memcache\APCu',]]>

Add a cron job like this replacing the variables with your username/path:

Example Domtool config: And to enforce SSL:

You should now be able to log in and look around Nextcloud. You may want to have a look at Settings → Overview for any warnings. You will see a bunch of warnings like this: These can be ignored.

Go to Settings → Basic Settings and select the option Cron under Background jobs (since we set that up earlier). You can check this page to ensure your cronjob is working.

In Settings → Basic Settings, set:

Since we use a new data directory we can delete the one in the document root:

The one-click upgrade feature does not work well with our ACL setup, so it's probably easiest to use the manual method. Follow the steps here, with these changes: Instead of 3 (Stop web server), disable the vhost/location in your Domtool configuration. Instead of 10 (update ownership/permissions), update the file permissions in the new location like during installation
