      This Guide assumes that you are starting from Fedora 25 Minimal.

      Install Fedora 25 and then either log in as root, su to root, or prepend everything here with sudo. Your choice.

      #Update Fedora
      dnf update -y
      
      #install Nextcloud required and optional packages
      #wget is required because the Nexcloud guide says to use wget.
      #policycoreutils-python-utils is required to run semanage
      dnf install -y httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-gd php-pdo php-pear php-mbstring php-xml php-pear-Net-Curl php-mcrypt php-intl php-ldap php-smbclient php-imap php-mysqli php-pear-MDB2 php-pear-MDB2-Driver-mysqli php-pecl-zip bzip2 policycoreutils-python-utils redis php-pecl-redis wget
      
      #Install nano because I do not want to use `vi`
      dnf install -y nano
      

      Install NextCloud 11.0.3. Update the wget and tar commands to reflect the current version at the time of your installation.

      #Create the root directory to extract nextcloud to
      mkdir -p /var/www/html/nextcloud
      
      #Get NextCloud
      wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-11.0.3.tar.bz2
      
      #Extract NextCloud
      tar xvf nextcloud-11.0.3.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/html
      

      Now we need to create the data directory. By default, Nextcloud will expect it to be within the main directory. If you move it, you will have to update a few things below to reference to correct folder path.

      Personally, if you are going to use a separate disk for the data, I would just mount it to /var/www/html/nextcloud/data

      So create the data directory

      #Create the data directory 
      mkdir -p /var/www/html/nextcloud/data
      

      Now grab the apache vhost file

      #get the nextcloud apache config file
      wget -O /etc/httpd/conf.d/nextcloud.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sorvani/scripts/master/Nextcloud/nextcloud.conf
      

      Then set ownership of all the files to apache

      chown apache:apache -R /var/www/html/nextcloud
      

      Open up the firewall to http traffic

      #open the firewall for http
      firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent
      firewall-cmd --reload
      

      Start the database services

      
      #start the mariadb and set to start on boot
      systemctl start mariadb
      systemctl enable mariadb
      
      #start redis (used for memcache)
      systemctl start redis
      systemctl enable redis
      

      Create the Nextcloud database and then secure the mariadb install.

      Change ncuser, ncuserpassword, and somesecurepassword to something private.

      #Create a database for nextcloud and a user to access it.
      mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;"
      mysql -e "CREATE USER 'ncuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ncuserpassword';"
      mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON nextcloud.* TO 'ncuser'@'localhost';"
      mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
      
      #Secure mariadb. These commands do what mysql_secure_installation does interactively
      mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('somesecurepassword') WHERE User='root';"
      mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');"
      mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';"
      mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;"
      mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
      

      Configure SELinux permissions to allow email, network connections, and read/write permissions to the necessary folders.

      #download the script 
      wget -O ~/selinux_config.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sorvani/scripts/master/Nextcloud/selinux_config.sh
      #set it to executable
      chmod +x ~/selinux_config.sh
      #execute the script
      ~/selinux_config.sh
      

      Start the webserver

      #Start Apache and enable for reboot.
      systemctl restart httpd
      systemctl enable httpd
      

      Creating a DNS entry is optional, but when the Nextcloud first run wizard happens in the browser, it sets the config.php to trust the URL in the browser. If you do not have DNS setup yet, you will have to go back and add this to your config.php later.

      #create a DNS entry for your server and go to it in your browser to complete the setup
      http://nextcloud.domain.com/nextcloud
      

      On the web GUI, enter your desired admin username and password.
      0_1489694134750_upload-6982fc23-f37f-40b8-8555-02ea1d6737be

      Then click the Storage & database dropdown.
      0_1489694170160_upload-db1dd473-e6ba-47d0-bed0-630e5efed8e7

      Leave the data folder alone unless you know that you changed it when going through the above instructions.
      0_1489694494762_upload-54c0e57e-4f3d-402d-a4d5-5f64d4a28bf0

      Change the database to MySQL/MariaDB
      0_1489694525338_upload-09b6afa0-19f8-4661-b8f8-30f3bfc05068

      Then fill it out with the information you used above.
      0_1489694596256_upload-c7100936-4fff-4a6f-a4c2-1968cc60ce35

      Click the Finish setup button
      0_1489694613615_upload-0e8c9b25-0269-40b1-8d03-b30523f06f01

      You will be automatically logged in and greeted with this.
      0_1489694685297_upload-cdf842b9-179e-4f3e-84e0-a93c3c64c5bb

      Go back to your SSH session and update the NextCloud config.php file to tell it to use redis for the memory cache and file locking.

      #add a line to nextcloud config.php to enable memory cache
      nano /var/www/html/nextcloud/config/config.php
      'memcache.locking' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
      'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
          'redis' => array(
          'host' => 'localhost',
          'port' => 6379,
      ),
      

      Restart the webserver

      systemctl restart httpd
      

      You now have a fully configured basic install.

        Follow post 2 of the Nextcloud 11 on CentOS 7 to pretty up the URL of your Fedora 25 install.

        But first you will have to take ownership of the .htaccess file back to the apache user.

        chown apache:apache /var/www/html/nextcloud/.htaccess
        

        When you are done with this step set it back to root manually or execute the secure_folders_rhel.sh again

        chown root:apache /var/www/html/nextcloud/.htaccess

              If you follow my guide, I am not sure how you didn't. I did this all twice to make sure of my instructions.

                Hidden files don't copy with a cp -r. Did you by chance extract the nextcloud tar.gz file and then copy the files?

                                  So it is there. When I go to the other post to change the urls, and ran - cd /var/www/html/nextcloud && sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:update:htaccess - I got Error updating .htaccess file, not enough permissions?

                                    @wrx7m That should be ls -la /var/www/html/nextcloud Need that a option to show hidden files.

                                    yeah that...

                                      Is it the same command to change ownership on a hidden file?

                                        ls -la /var/www/html/nextcloud

                                        0_1493931348461_Capture.PNG

                                        So it is there. When I go to the other post to change the urls, and ran - cd /var/www/html/nextcloud && sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:update:htaccess - I got Error updating .htaccess file, not enough permissions?

                                        That command requires the permissions to be apache:apache

                                        If you ran my script to set secure permissions your folder would look like this.

                                        So you should be to the point to chown it back.
