A question is outstanding: when ādecompressed,ā how much disk space does NC package use, not including personal data files?
Well, ever heard about setup and forget? Many users of the VM run it that way. It just works. So I talk from experiance.
Sure, things may crash, and without knowledge youāre kind of screwed. But thereās help to get from multiple places.
Hmm, I didnāt double check but Iād guess around 300 MB, excluding database.
Curiously, when I went to DO, I find that they are using php not using php 7.4. This does not comport with others blaming bugging php for the problems I saw. The plot has thickend, at least for me.
You need to choose the right server.
Ubuntu 16.04 = PHP 7.0
Ubuntu 18.04 = PHP 7.2
Ubuntu 20.04 = PHP 7.4
DOās site said 7.3. So the installer probably goes the next step.
In any event, Iāve decided that the payoff at this point is not sufficient to invest more time and effort as my needs are so basic. Iāve got other methods to coordinate between files between devices and, even tho it does not include automagical sysycing, it suffices for my needs. Iāll wait for php 7.4 o my share host.
Thanks again for all of your suggestions.
TBH nextcloud is not intended for shared hosts. You can flip a coin and it might work but that doesnāt mean itās installed with the required specifications or secure on your shared host.
Itās really intended for users who have knowledge of system administration. Who have control of the bare hardware or Kvm/VPS with full root access.
When I did a re-install, I used the download recommended for shared hosts, the "web installer " at: https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server.
This thread has taken off on tangents.

They donāt have to. There are tools that makes it easier. Just sayinā¦
Yup. And the second there is a problem that the tool doesnāt cover or the tool itself has youāre SOL.
Iām not saying those tools are bad though. Just that the end user should have basic knowledge on system administration.
@private.guy You can use it on shared hosts. Youāre also at their mercy when it comes to system configuration and security. As @Reiner_Nippes has pointed out the php versions used are the likely culprit here.
