Install Nextcloud 13.0.0 on Fedora 27

Also, for those of us using the stock Fedora 27 Server install, the default firewall zone is FedoraServer, rather than public, so this is the command that I use for the firewall...

firewall-cmd --zone=FedoraServer --add-port=https/tcp --permanent

Eww minimal install always.

Don't forget to add this bit, to clear the opcache warning...

# php-opcache
sudo dnf -y install php-opcache

# /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini
sudo tee  /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini <<EOF
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.save_comments=1
opcache.revalidate_freq=1
EOF

# Restart php-fpm
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

This is a horrible solution.

WHen you install php-opcache, it creates a 10-opcache.ini with half of these settigns as defualt.

Additionally this nukes all other settings int he default config file.

[JaredBusch]

I am updating the above instructions to include these settings, but here it is by itself.

#install php-opcache
dnf  -y install php-opcache

#update the settings file.
sed -i -e 's/;opcache.enable_cli=0/opcache.enable_cli=1/' /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini;
sed -i -e 's/opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000/opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000/' /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini;
sed -i -e 's/;opcache.save_comments=1/opcache.save_comments=1/' /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini;
sed -i -e 's/;opcache.revalidate_freq=2/opcache.revalidate_freq=1/' /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini;

#restart the service
systemctl restart php-fpm

[JaredBusch]

There we go.

If you follow these instructions you should see this in the admin settings.

Followed these instructions and installed without a hitch! Already have Nextcloud running but it's on Ubuntu. Wanted to give it a try on Fedora. Thanks for this.

I'm REALLY close to having this fully scripted with interactivity on the script

Shall I turn it into a Salt State or is that what you are working on already?

We've had that for a while

What will be different or better about this method vs SaltStack method?

A script is a procedural approach and Salt is a state approach. Results upon completion are the same, but they are different methodologies and are used in different scenarios.

Scripting a build is better for learning and is used to make a repeatable, predictable start to a snowflake managed system.

A state system, like Salt or Ansible, is used to define the resulting state of a system rather than the means to make it so and is not nearly as useful for learning, but is part of ongoing operations rather than simply being the beginning of the process. A Salt state would be used to keep managing the system, not just a one time operation to prepare it.

[scottalanmiller]

Testing the script now....

I've seen your scripts. they are totally not for learning a damned thing.

That is why I specifically never post instructions like this in a script form.

What? How are bash scripts not for learning?

I learn so much more going over scripts than I would any other way. The more efficient they are written, the more I learn.

Did you look at his thread? there is no learning. it is "run this"

That is always how he writes them up.

There is zero wrong with that approach. It is in fact a better way to do it if you just want to tell someone go here and do this and it will work.

But that is not what I write my guide to do. My guides are guides that you perform everything step by step.

Oh I see what you mean. I agree.

But...
I think Scott meant writing a script or reading a script is great for learning, I don't think he meant copy and pasting a line that is fully automated.

Writing a script is more for learning than writing a state is. Because a state might work without any info or interaction from you.

Okay, that makes more sense.

I have a Nextcloud instance running on Hyper-V using a 500GB dynamically expanding disk that is working perfectly. I can see that it's barely using any of the space. I followed these instructions for creating a Nextcloud instance on Fedora and when I use a dynamically expanding disk, for some reason, the install does not recognize it as a full 500GB disk so after uploading a few large test files, I'm out of space at around 10GB. The Nextcloud instance is on a Fedora 27 minimal install.

Any ideas where I may have gone wrong? I used this command to create the disk:

New-VHD -Path C:\MyVHDs\nextcloud.vhdx -SizeBytes 500GB -Dynamic -BlockSizeBytes 1MB

Does Fedora not play well with dynamically expanding disks? I could instead create a fixed disk but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Haven't tried that, but I would not expect it to like that.
