Nextcloud
An opensource private cloud solution [1].
Installation
Installation is as simple as deploying a new web-site. Tips for installing on Synology bit outdated using php7
- The package can be installed in the root of a (virtual) webserver.
- The configuration is in <webroot>/config/config.php. To (re)start the initialization:
- (re)move the config file
- delete all tables in the nextcloud database
- put a file named CAN_INSTALL in the config directory.
- browse to your nextcloud webserver
- When you have unix-sockets enabled use localhost:<socketpath> as dbhost
Allow larger files to be uploaded
Change php settings:
upload_max_filesize = 16G
post_max_size = 16G
As my nextcloud server is a synology diskstation:
vi /volume1/@appstore/PHP7.4/misc/php-fpm.ini
/usr/syno/sbin/synoservice --restart pkgctl-PHP7.4
- Change nginx setting for the nextcloud server
client_max_body_size 0
- This will disable the checking of body size. The php settings rule.
cronjob
*/5 * * * * sudo -u http php74 -f /var/www/nextcloud/cron.php
- Configure this in your crontab or other job-scheduler
Client installation
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nextcloud-devs/client
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nextcloud-client
Tips and Troubleshooting
- sudo -u http php74 /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --all
- Rescan all files (update database)
- sudo -u http php74 /var/www/nextcloud/occ files:scan --path="/<username>/files/<dir to scan>"
- Rescan all files in specified path
- touch <file>
- When everything looks OK, you fixed mounts and file permissions, try touch on the client.
A file is reported locked and it is not a file-protection issue
- put Nextcloud in maintenance mode: edit config/config.php and change this line:
'maintenance' => true,
- Empty table oc_file_locks (the default table prefix is oc_, this prefix can be different or even empty)
- disable maintenance mode (undo first step).
'maintenance' => false,
Nextcloud remains in maintenance mode after upgrade
Turn off maintenance mode from the commandline and retry the upgrade from the command line.
sudo -u http php74 /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:mode --off sudo -u http php74 /var/www/nextcloud/occ upgrade
