Install Nextcloud 13.0.0 on Fedora 27

NashBrydges

The one additional step I also did was to have what Nextcloud calls "pretty URLs"

Add these lines to the config.php file (https if you've secured your instance with certs, http if you haven't)

'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://www.mydomain.com',
  'htaccess.RewriteBase' => '/',
  'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',

Then from terminal, run this command.

sudo -u apache php /var/www/nextcloud/occ maintenance:update:htaccess

My URL then changed from https://www.mydomain.com/nextcloud to https://www/mydomain.com and it removed the "index.php" from shared links.

@nashbrydges Did you have to set Require all granted in your httpd.conf too?

You should not touch httpd.conf
That is the reason that nextcloud.conf exists.

I didn't, no. All changes are done in nextcloud.conf and it does not need Require all granted.

I guess I should make a dedicated post for this..
Here are the instructions to pretty the URL.

@jaredbusch Ah, I was confusing this with SAM's install script. I was about to say that the script didn't create a nextcloud.conf in my conf.d folder. I ran his script last night on a new server and it was only going to serve this one nextcloud install so I just modified the httpd.conf

NashBrydges

The only change that I do that isn't really covered anywhere in any documentation I've seen is to change the favicon. I replace the Nexcloud one with mine just to complete the theming.

@scottalanmiller is a slacker.

I do one application per VM, so no need for individual configuration files

Not true. Using a vhost config keeps things simple compared to editing the default config file.

Granted neither need to happen here unless you are doing the pretty URL bit.

@jaredbusch & @scottalanmiller : the vhost thing is likely the correct way to do this as "letsencrypt --apache" fails unless there is a vhost configured for port 80.
The default httpd.conf included with Fedora does not have this configured.

So you both know, Fedora 28 installs NC 13.0.3 in exactly the same manner but fails during installation due to missing php-json. Once installed, it installs without issue.

Thanks. I'm on Fed 28 with 13.0.4 now, but it was an update, not a fresh install.

JaredBusch

Updated to install php-json as it seems to be a new requirement in recent Fedora 28 builds running 13.x

Thanks to @zachary715 for testing a clean build.

@JaredBusch cronie is not installed by default when using a clean install of Fedora 28 Minimal.

Is that needed now or something?

It's only needed if we want to use crond service to call the cron.php file every 15 minutes.

Ah, for post setup. Yeah. That would be important for some. Myself in fact as I always set my systems to use the cron method.

Why don’t just use snap?
