NextCloud – CentOS 7 – Lets Encrypt
This demonstration video walks through installing NextCloud 10 on a CentOS 7 Virtual Private Server hosted by Digital Ocean
Apologies for the poor masking edit at around 38 minutes when working with Lets Encrypt, i forgot to mask my email address (not that it’s majorly important) and thanks to Charles for pointing that out to me.
The following process is followed in the video :
Install software required for NextCloud including, Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. (LAMP Stack)
Download NextCloud software.
Update Apache configuration files to host NextCloud, this includes using a VirtualHost.
Configure MariaDB database for NextCloud.
Sign in to NextCloud and review security and warnings.
Generate and apply Certificate to secure NextCloud.
NOTE : After generating Certificates in test mode, when applying in commit mode ensure you choose ‘Renew’.
Update configuration files.
