Hi
I would like to ask if anyone has successfully installed nextcloud as a web service on Vesta Control Panel with its own domain, DNS record, DB, etc.
If so please guide as to the ideal practice.
Hi fab,
I tried installing Nextcloud using VestaCP two weeks ago, but it was a mess. I completely reinstalled everything with Ubuntu 16.04, Apache 2.4, PHP 7 and MariaDB 10.2.13 on a Time4VPS Storage Server for a team of roughly 40 persons.
Runs way better in my opinion.
Problems I had with VestaCP (I don’t know about the template you posted though):
- VestaCP comes with PHP 5.5 (at least the version that time4vps uses), nextcloud needs at least 5.6, so you have to update that via SSH
- Softaculous (which I managed to run on VestaCP) has a template for Nextcloud, however, it’s not included in the free version
- there were many settings I had to change (i.e. to change bandwidth limits for the admin account, SSL related issues, …) that were mostly straight-forward, but some of them were pretty ugly to solve
==> all i all, I found it more comfortable to use some tutorials of servermom.org to set up my Ubuntu Server and the Nextcloud Documentation to install Nextcloud and migrate my old data.
However, I would be interested if somebody managed to use VestaCP + Nextcloud successfully (preferably with free software).
Installation via Snap would be a nice alternative - but I have no experience so far: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#installing-via-snap-packages
