Memory requirements for running an Nextcloud server are greatly variable, depending on the numbers of users and files, and volume of server activity. Nextcloud needs a minimum of 128MB RAM, and we recommend a minimum of 512MB.
Recommended Setup for Running Nextcloud
For best performance, stability, support, and full functionality we recommend:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
MySQL/MariaDB
PHP 7.0 +
Apache 2.4 with mod_php
Php7 is preferred. Can we make this happen on NS7?
There is a repo for php7 available: https://webtatic.com/packages/php70/
Any risks of breaking any NS specific packages by using this?
Thnx @stephdl for the quick response. Good to know we have a reaonably safe option to install nextcloud 12.
The reason I am pushing this is that IMO we can not afford to stay on an old version of nextcloud (currently NC 10 is default for NethServer) and see that options and possibilities are passing us left and right.
If we want to be able to be a viable alternative to, for example G-Suite and Office365, dropbox etc, we need the latest version of (in this case) Nextcloud available, preferably with LibrOffice Online/Collabora Online integration. Or as @ghost mentioned in So, what are you working on? - 22 May 17 : OnlyOffice
Especially if we want to push NethServer forward in office and educational environments I think this is important.
If I wanted to install NC11 on NethServer7, would adding the testing repo, installing php-scl and a simple ‘yum install nethserver-nextcloud’ do the trick?
Interesting, the auto background update, or maybe I don’t remember that changing, but it used to be you had to actually go to the nextcloud gui page and manually start the update, but not anymore. Clean upgrade according to the /var/messages.
I installed nextcloud 12 using the software center but I’m unable to gain admin access to it. What username and password should I be using to gain admin access?
