NextCloud Automated Installation

dave_c

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.

Testing now.

Looks like @scottalanmiller never tested on minimal.

wget is not installed on your system.

JaredBusch

I also do not know why he is using unzip instead of the bz2, but meh.

JaredBusch

no clue how to easily make a second pull request without blowing out the first one..

build a Fedora 27 instance, install wget manually, and then run the script.
