$ sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-json php-common php-zip php-gd php-intl php-curl php-xml php-mbstring php-bcmath php-gmp
-
check php version
$ php -v
PHP 8.2.20 (cli) (built: Jun 17 2024 13:33:14) (NTS)

-
After installing all the packages, edit the php.ini file:
$ sudo vi /etc/php/8.2/fpm/php.ini -
Change the following settings per your requirements:
max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 128M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
-
To implement the changes, restart the php-fpm service
$ sudo systemctl restart php8.2-fpm
$ sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib postgresql-client php-pgsql
-
check version after installation first switch current user to postgres
sudo -i -u postgres$ psql -version -
out put will be:
psql (PostgreSQL) 16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1)
-
From inside psql shell 1.Create a new user:
CREATE USER nextclouduser WITH PASSWORD '1234';
2.Create a new database owned by this user
CREATE DATABASE nextclouddb OWNER nextclouduser;
3.Grant all privileges to the new user on the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nextclouddb TO nextclouduser;
-
From outside psql shell
-
Create first the user for the database.
- first add postgres in sudoers group
$ usermod -aG sudo postgres$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER nextcloud_user PASSWORD 'nextcloud_pw';"
-
-
And now create the database.
$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE nextcloud_db WITH OWNER nextcloud_user ENCODING=UTF8;" -
Check if we now can connect to the database server and the database in detail (you will get a question about the password for the database user!). If this is not working it makes no sense to proceed further! We need to fix first the access then!
$ psql -h localhost -U nextcloud -d nextcloud_db$ psql -U nextcloud_user -d nextcloud_db -h 127.0.0.1 -W -
Come out from data base using \q
-
Use the following command to download the latest version of Nextcloud:
$ wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/latest.zip -
Extract file into the folder /var/www/ with the following command:
$ sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/ -
Change ownership of the /var/www/nextcloud directory to www-data.
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud
-Generate the private key and certificate:
$ sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nextcloud.key -out nextcloud.crt
$ sudo cp nextcloud.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ cp nextcloud.key /etc/ssl/private/
-
Change nginx configuration
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
$ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
- Add snippet inside file and save it

Sample Commands for File Permissions
-
Move the data directory outside the web server document root and change it's permission
$ sudo mv /var/www/html/nextcloud/data /var/nextcloud_data$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/nextcloud_data$ chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/ -
Update Nextcloud Configuration:
-
Open the config/config.php file of your Nextcloud installation.
$ vi /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php -
Update the 'datadirectory' parameter to point to the new location of your data directory.
'datadirectory' => '/var/nextcloud_data'
-
Restart Services:
$ sudo systemctl start nginx -
Test nginx using, if all things fine with syntax go further
$ sudo nginx -t -
Now nextcloud is ready to use, access it from browser
-
.ocdata is not found inside data directory
-
Create file using touch and give necessary permission
sudo touch /var/nextcloud_data/.ocdatasudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/your/data
-
-
Log in to your server:
- SSH into the server where your PostgreSQL database is hosted.
-
Switch to the PostgreSQL user:
$ sudo -i -u postgres
-
Access the PostgreSQL command line
psql
-
List the databases:(If you're unsure which database is being used by Nextcloud, you can list all the databases)
\l
-
Connect to the Nextcloud database:
- Connect to the specific database that Nextcloud is using.
\c nextclouddb
-
Reset the password for the Nextcloud database user:
ALTER USER nextcloud_user WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';
-
Exit the PostgreSQL command line:
\q
-
Verify Database Configuration
-
Check the database connection details in the config.php file to ensure they are correct
sudo vi /var/www/nextcloud/config/config.php -
Replace nextcloud_db, nextcloud_user, and your_password with your actual database name, user, and password.
'dbtype' => 'pgsql', 'dbname' => 'nextcloud_db', 'dbuser' => 'nextcloud_user', 'dbpassword' => 'your_password', 'dbhost' => 'localhost', 'dbport' => '',
