@scottalanmiller Do you plan to include adding LE as part of this install?
Or do we just follow @JaredBusch guide & add LE.

I'm torn, because it requires a lot more info and setup to do that that often someone would not want. If they were using a reverse proxy, for instance, it would not go here.

So make a reserve proxy script

@scottalanmiller Isn't LE something that all NC Vultr installs would want to have?

No, most would be behind a proxy. Mine is, for example.

That might make sense, lol.

CentOS 7:
I used https://github.com/onbrella/app-installers/tree/master/nextcloud to perform a test installation last month. The script seemed to be secure enough.
I had to change the nextcloud-12-generic-storage-nginx.sh script to use SELinux and something else that I don't remember but it worked very well ; LetsEncrypt included.
The only thing I wasn't able to do is to remove /nextcloud from the URL; I will revisit the script later with NC 13

That is a multi-step process. I have documented it in my NC 11 guide here: https://mangolassi.it/post/279323

If I remember, your steps are for Apache; I was using nginx
**Edit: The scripts I posted suport Apache/nginx/minio

I have never tried it with Nginx, so yeah.

But the removal of the /nextcloud bit is simply a change in the default webroot in Apache. So update that in Nginx. does that not resovle it?

@jaredbusch
No. It didn't work. I believe that I have to update the rules for PHP-FPM in nginx conf
Anyway, I will try again this week as I need to set up a NC server for production. I may use Apache; I haven't decided

It be something like this:

#Before changing root location
server {
    location / {
        root /var/www/html/;
    }

#After changing root location
server {
    location / {
        root /var/www/html/nextcloud/;
    }

Odd. Sadly, not something I hgave time to test out right now. This week is going to be busy with travel and new clients meetings.

    }

And then update the NC config.php.

@jaredbusch @black3dynamite
Perhaps I didn't update config.php!
I will check later, thank you

Is it possible to insert the hostname into the trusted domains array in the NC config.php file with the script?

Yes, but @scottalanmiller did not account for that.

JaredBusch

@bnrstnr Also, why would you want the hostname in there? It should be pretty rare that you use the hostname in a browser.

bnrstnr

@jaredbusch I thought that was the entire purpose of the hostname? I always set my hostname as the FQDN of whatever the server is... nextcloud.example.net seems like a perfect hostname for a nextcloud server, no?

No that is not the purpose of a hostname.

So you meant put the FQDN in the trusted domain.

Pull request made to do that.

If someone has time to test my pull request, that would be great.
