Step 1: Install MariaDB database server
A database server is an essential component of NextCloud. Install it on Debian using the commands below.
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install mariadb-server mariadb-client
Secure your database installation by setting root password, disable remote root login and removing test databases.
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.
Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
Create Nextcloud database and user:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER 'nextcloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongDBP@SSwo$d';
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextcloud.* TO 'nextcloud'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
QUIT
Step 2: Install PHP and Apache web server
We also need PHP and Apache webserver to run Nextcloud. Run the commands below to ensure these dependencies are installed.
# Remove old PHP
sudo apt -y remove php php-{cli,xml,zip,curl,gd,cgi,mysql,mbstring}
# Install PHP 8.1
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lsb-release apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list'
sudo apt install php8.1
sudo apt install php8.1-{bcmath,xml,fpm,mysql,zip,intl,ldap,gd,cli,bz2,curl,mbstring,pgsql,opcache,soap,cgi}
sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php8.1
Set PHP variables to suit your use.
$ sudo vim /etc/php/*/apache2/php.ini
date.timezone = Australia/Brisbane
memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
max_execution_time = 300
Restart apache2 service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Step 3: Download Nextcloud on Debian 11 / Debian 10
With all dependencies installed, we can proceed to download the latest Nextcloud archive to our local system. Visit Nextcloud releases page to check the latest release.
sudo apt -y install wget curl unzip
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/r ... latest.zip
unzip latest.zip
rm -f latest.zip
Unzip the archive and move to Apache web folder and set correct ownership and permissions.
sudo mv nextcloud /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/nextcloud
sudo sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/nextcloud
Disable default Apache server configuration
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Step 4: Run Nextcloud Web Installer on Debian 11 / Debian 10
For the next step, we’ll do it on the web console. Open your favorite browser and URL http://{serverip|hostname]/nextcloud
