Special thanks to

Build your own VM, or install on a VPS

DigitalOcean example: https://youtu.be/LlqY5Y6P9Oc

Minimum requirements:

  • A clean Ubuntu Server 18.04.X using the alternative installer
  • OpenSSH (preferred)
  • 20 GB HDD for OS
  • XX GB HDD for DATA (/mnt/ncdata)
  • Absolute minimum is 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM (4 GB minimum if you are running OnlyOffice)
  • A working internet connection (the script needs it to download files and variables)

Recommended

  • Thick provisioned (better performance and easier to maintain)
  • DHCP available
  • 40 GB HDD for OS
  • 4 vCPU
  • 4 GB RAM

Installation

  1. Get the latest install script from master:
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/vm/master/nextcloud_install_production.sh
  2. Run the script with:
    sudo bash nextcloud_install_production.sh
  3. When the VM is installed it will automatically reboot. Remember to login with the user you created:
    ssh <user>@IP-ADDRESS
    If it automatically runs as root when you reboot the machine, you have to abort it by pressing CTRL+C and run the script as the user you just created:
    sudo -u <user> sudo bash /var/scripts/nextcloud-startup-script.sh
  4. Please note that the installation/setup is not finnished by just running the nextcloud_install_production.sh When you login with the (new) sudo user you ran the script with in step 2 you will automatically be presented with the setup script.

Machine configuration of the released version

Please check the configuration here: https://www.techandme.se/machine-setup-nextcloud/

Do you want to run this on your Raspberry Pi?

Great news! We have forked this repository and created a Raspberry Pi image that you can download from here: https://github.com/techandme/NextBerry or here https://www.techandme.se/nextberry-rpi/.

We call it NextBerry and it's confirmed to be working on Raspberry Pi 2 & 3.

NOTE (2018-08-01): This is not maintained anymore, but keeping the info in case someone wants to pick it up again.

I want to test RC!

No problem! We made it simple. Run update.sh but abort it before it starts so that you have the latest nextcloud_update.sh. Then put this in your nextcloud_update.sh below the curl command (lib.sh) but before everything else and run it:

To test a specific RC version:

NCREPO="https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases"
NCVERSION=12.0.1RC5
STABLEVERSION="nextcloud-$NCVERSION"

Or the latest RC:

NCREPO="https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases"
NCVERSION=$(curl -s -m 900 $NCREPO/ | sed --silent 's/.*href="nextcloud-\([^"]\+\).zip.asc".*/\1/p' | sort --version-sort | tail -1)
STABLEVERSION="nextcloud-$NCVERSION"
