nextcloud
Our nextcloud installation is running on lucius, which is currently running Debian jessie. The nextcloud application is instatlled from source.
Important details
- The application runs as the www-data user
- Directories:
- The code is in /var/www/nextcloud.
- The data (files) are in /var/lib/nextcloud/data.
- Our configuration is in /etc/nextcloud (symlinked from /var/www/nextcloud/config)
- We're using the postgres package not the mysql package. If you want to muck around in the database:
su - www-data
and thenpsql nextcloud
- We're authenticating using the login-service (web api).
- That happens via our own mfplauth app, which depends on the external user auth app
- The admin username (mfpl-admin) and password are in keyringer. However, try to avoid logging in as mfpl-admin, and if you change any configuration options, /etc/nextcloud/config.php will get overwritten
- A 5GB per user quota is set. This is configured by logging in as mfpl-admin and then clicking to administer users. Quotas can be changed on a per user basis.
- To fix #8125, we've added our own custom theme called "mayfirst", which is in lucius.mayfirst.org:/var/lib/nextcloud/themes and it is activated via the theme => "mayfirst" line in lucius.mayfirst.org:/etc/nextcloud/config.php. Currently, it only adds a style sheet that simply hides the password change form.
- We have committed to maintaining four extra apps, which are installed in /var/lib/nextcloud/apps-local:
- Calendar
- Contacts
- Bookmarks (see #10696)
- External user authentication
- MF/PL custom auth app (git://git.mayfirst.org/mfpl/mfplauth)
- Collobora editing
Upgrading
Steps to upgrade from source:
- Visit https://nextcloud.com/changelog/ and download the appropriate version to /root using wget and unpack
- Create symlinks that mirror the symlinks in /var/www/nextcloud
- If upgrading a major version, backup /var/lib/nextcloud/apps-local and download new versions of all apps in /var/lib/nextcloud/apps-local, replacing the existing apps with the new ones.
- Copy /etc/nextcloud/config.php to /etc/nextcloud/config.php.bak
- Enter maintenance mode (edit to /etc/nextcloud/config.php)
- Backup the database with:
su -c "pg_dump nextcloud" www-data | gzip - > nextcloud.pre.$(date +%Y.%m.%d).backup.sql.gz
- Ensure the dump completed successfully:
tail nextcloud.sql
- Make a backup of the current nextcloud installation:
mv /var/www/nextcloud /var/www/nextcloud.version.n.n.n
- Move the new copy in:
mv /root/nextcloud /var/www/
- Ensure all database udpates have been run, su to the www-data user and then:
su - www-data cd /var/www/nextcloud php occ upgrade
