Questions on Jason Bayton's tuto

Hi

I am facing new issues currently and I came back to Jason’s tuto to check whether has changed on my installation since I used it.
https://bayton.org/docs/nextcloud/installing-nextcloud-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-with-redis-apcu-ssl-apache/

I have then 2 questions

let’s encrypt : I found a much simpler way to install it at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04 . What do you think ? Should I stick to Jason’s way or is this one very valid as well ?
ACPU/Redis : about 1 year ago, Jason recommended to add (among some other things) the following line in /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php :

'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu',

While going through it again today, this line has been change by

'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\Redis',

What is the reason and the consequence ?

Thanks !

Kris

@JasonBayton what do you think?

Hey,

I changed it to Redis as there were some issues I kept seeing around APCU, and Redis seemed to align to NC docs anyway.

No need to change if you’re happy with your setup, Redis would be suggested as your deployment grows much larger.

On LE, go for the simpler method! I’m due to revisit the guide to reflect changes like those made to the LE process over time anyway.

Thanks Jason!

One more question : I don’t see in your tuto that a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf is required (and then ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nextcloud.conf)
But, trying without, I cannot get a nextcloud session on my web browser. What did I miss ?
