=== Description ===
 
Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services. It is functionally similar to Dropbox, although Nextcloud is free and open-source, allowing anyone to install and operate it on a private server.
 
Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services. It is functionally similar to Dropbox, although Nextcloud is free and open-source, allowing anyone to install and operate it on a private server.

 +
As per SME Server Keep It Simple, all your ibays and home folders will be accessible through the nextcloud interface using the "external files" app. You will also have your main user user Nextcloud folder saved under /home/e-smith/files/owncloud/data which is in the default backup path. So you can now enjoy both your own cloud repository with access to the very same files on your samba share!
 +
 +
How do I add my SME users ? They are already there ! Just tell them to connect to https://mydomain/nextcloud. You can also add external users or allow them to register with a nextcloud app.
 +
 +
What are the admin ? By default you have a nextcloudadmin user and the regular SME admin user. First one use the password you can see with "config getprop nextcloud AdminPassword", and second one, well, just use your regular admin password. Then you can manage apps, external files repos and admin group membership.
    
=== Installation ===
 
=== Installation ===
  yum install smeserver-extrarepos-remi-safe smeserver-extrarepos-fws
+
You do not need to  follow the Repo pages of [https://wiki.contribs.org/Fws fws] and [https://wiki.contribs.org/Remi-safe remi-safe] to isntall those two needed repos, instead use the packages to install them followed by a yum-modify event. Then run the main installation.
 +
  yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-remi-safe smeserver-extrarepositories-fws smeserver-extrarepositories-epel
 
  signal-event yum-modify
 
  signal-event yum-modify
  yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install {{#var:smecontribname}} --enablerepo=smecontribs,fws,remi-safe,smedev.smetest
+
  yum install {{#var:smecontribname}} --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel,fws
 +
signal-event webapps-update
 +
service php-fpm start
 +
service php71-php-fpm start
 +
signal-event nextcloud-update
 +
 
 +
you can skip the service php-fpm* commands if it was already installed and running before the installation of nextcloud
 +
 
 +
then you can do the following and you can safely ignore the signal-event post-upgrade reboot if prompted, unless you also installed other packages that needs to do so.
 +
config set UnsavedChanges no
 +
 
 +
or do
 +
signal-event post-upgrade
 +
signal-event reboot
 +
 
 +
=== Upgrade ===

yum  update {{#var:smecontribname}} {{#var:contribname}} smeserver-php-fpm smeserver-webapps-common  --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel,fws

 +
|allow you to set ibay access via samba share or via Local driver in nextcloud. Enabled is for samba, this allow you to access as your user and have your quota accounted. It might be a little slower, and need you to have your password loaded in the session. Local driver if disabled, will let you access only what apache user (www) has right to access as member of a group.

* the SME admin user is also an admin of your nextcloud installation. You have two admin account as per default installation on SME Server.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
example of setting :
 +
  config setprop nextcloud ExcludeIbay ibay1,ibay2
 +
  signal-event nextcloud-update
    +
=== Command line ===
 +
if you happen to need tweaking your installation, here is how to access the command line for Nextcloud on SME, we made it easier for you, just log as root and use the OCC command (using capitals), This command will execute for you what you need as the www user, using the needed version of php. Here two examples: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
OCC maintenance:mode --off
 +
OCC maintenance:repair
    +
</syntaxhighlight>to seek for additional command consult Nextcloud documentation : https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13.0.0/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html
    
=== Uninstall ===
 
=== Uninstall ===
 
  yum remove {{#var:smecontribname}}  {{#var:contribname}}
 
  yum remove {{#var:smecontribname}}  {{#var:contribname}}
 +
 +
=== Use a dedicated domain to connect to Nextcloud ===
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
db domains set cloud.mydomain.com domain Description "Nextcloud" Content Primary Nameservers internet TemplatePath WebAppVirtualHost DocumentRoot /usr/share/nextcloud RequireSSL enabled letsencryptSSLcert enabled
 +
signal-event domain-create cloud.mydomain.com
 +
 +
#only if you use a Let's Encrypt certificate
 +
expand-template /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
 +
dehydrated -c
 +
 +
#to let nextcloud accept this domain
 +
OCC "config:system:set trusted_domains 10 --value=cloud.mydomain.com "
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
=== Mount with davfs on Fedora Clients ===
 +
While you might love the easy setup of the gnome client for nextcloud, you might encounter some frustration of having your favourite applications not showing nextcloud as mounted and needing to find it to sometime not being able to access it.
 +
 +
Here is a workaround
 +
 +
First as root<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
dnf install davfs2 -y
 +
usermod -aG davfs2 $YOURUSER
 +
echo "use_locks 0" >> /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf
 +
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav /home/$YOURUSER/nextcloud davfs user,rw,auto 0 0
 +
" >> /etc/fstab
 +
 +
 +
</syntaxhighlight>then you should log out /log in with your user in order to have the group membership. You can also just do "su -l USERNAME"
 +
 +
then as your user (replace your_password by your password, or a token;):<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mkdir ~/nextcloud
 +
mkdir ~/.davfs2
 +
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav your_Nextcloud_username your_password" >> ~/.davfs2/secrets
 +
chmod 0600 ~/.davfs2/secrets
 +
</syntaxhighlight>then just mount ! <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mount ~/nextcloud
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
From there you can tweak the cache configuration to make it easier for you if you are far from the server, default cache size is 50MiByte, you could increase it to let's say 3 GiByte in ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf for your user <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
cache_size 3G
 +
</syntaxhighlight>you should see the folder mount at every logon from now on!  if you do not want that, change "auto" in the fstab by "noauto".
 +
 +
Then add the following in ~/bash_profile or ~/bash_rc. You could user also mount -a and to try to put something in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/" instead<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mount /home/username/nextcloud
 +
 +
 +
 +
</syntaxhighlight>And Finally to umount in  gdm using "sudo vim /etc/gdm/PostSession/"<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
if [ ${USERNAME} = "myuser" ];then
 +
  umount -fl /home/myuser/nextcloud
 +
fi
 +
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Known issues ===
 +
 +
==== failure to do online upgrade from 13.0.2 ====
 +
The following extra files have been found:    assets
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
cd /usr/share/nextcloud/
 +
rm -rf assets
 +
yum update smeserver-nextcloud --enablerepo=smecontribs
 +
signal-event nextcloud-update
 +
</syntaxhighlight>then proceed to online web upgrade
 +
 +
==== issue upgrading from 13.0.2 to 15.0.0 RPM ====
 +
Nextcloud is only build to upgrade from one major release to the next. If you try to install the nextcloud-15 rpm while you already have installed the nextcloud-13, you might have encounter the following issue.
 +
 +
'''“Updates between multiple major versions are unsupported”'''
 +
 +
<tt>goto usr/share/nextcloud</tt>
 +
 +
copy everything except <tt>/data</tt> and <tt>/config</tt> to temp folder
 +
 +
download intermediate version of '''nextcloud''' from <nowiki>https://nextcloud.com/changelog/</nowiki>
 +
 +
unzip and copy files to /usr/share/nextcloud, dont overwrite /data or /config
 +
 +
change ownership in /usr/share/nextcloud chown -R apache:www .
 +
 +
goto <nowiki>https://yoururl/nextcloud</nowiki> and run the updater
 +
 +
logon to nextcloud and make sure it is all working as expected
 +
 +
repeat above for each major update until you are one update from the latest major update. At that point you can follow the usual process. source (https://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10670#c3)
