In this Howto I will show you to install Nextcloud 15 on a Plesk VPS with nginx only<\/strong>
\nIf you want to install Nextcloud via the Extension „Nextcloud“ (Beta-State) then follow this guides:
\nwebdeasy English-Version<\/a>
\nor
\nwebdeasy German Version<\/a> <\/p>\n

Then come back and switch to nginx-only.<\/p>\n

Nextcloud recommends the use of a MemoryCache. If we have ssh-access to our server, we install redis for this. Redis is an in-memory database with a simple key-value data structure and belongs to the family of NoSQL databases.
\nIf you want to know more, follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following command installs the appropriate package:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install redis-server<\/pre>\n
please check the status of redis:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl status redis<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Prepare vHost:<\/strong><\/p>\n
In Plesk we create the subdomain under domains:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
and secure it with LetsEncrypt:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Within the subdomain we use the file manager:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
and remove all files and directories:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Now we have to download the Nextcloud-Webinstaller from the following URL to our workstation:<\/p>\n
Nextcloud Webinstaller<\/a><\/p>\n
Afterwards we upload it to our Webspace in Plesk:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In Apache\/NGINX settings<\/code> of the subdomain, we set the following values for Additional nginx directives<\/code> (Customize Domain \/ Subdomain):<\/p>\n
rewrite ^\/.well-known\/host-meta \/public.php?service=host-meta last;\r\nrewrite ^\/.well-known\/host-meta.json \/public.php?service=host-meta-json last;\r\nrewrite ^\/.well-known\/webfinger \/public.php?service=webfinger last;\r\nadd_header Strict-Transport-Security \"max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains; preload;\";\r\n\r\nlocation = \/.well-known\/carddav {\r\n\treturn 301 $scheme:\/\/$host\/remote.php\/dav;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlocation = \/.well-known\/caldav {\r\n\treturn 301 $scheme:\/\/$host\/remote.php\/dav;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlocation = \/robots.txt {\r\n\tallow all;\r\n\tlog_not_found off;\r\n\taccess_log off;\r\n}\r\n\r\n# Enable gzip but do not remove ETag headers\r\n\r\ngzip on;\r\ngzip_vary on;\r\ngzip_comp_level 4;\r\ngzip_min_length 256;\r\ngzip_proxied expired no-cache no-store private no_last_modified no_etag auth;\r\ngzip_types application\/atom+xml application\/javascript application\/json application\/ld+json application\/manifest+json application\/rss+xml application\/vnd.geo+json application\/vnd.ms-fontobject application\/x-font-ttf application\/x-web-app-manifest+json application\/xhtml+xml application\/xml font\/opentype image\/bmp image\/svg+xml image\/x-icon text\/cache-manifest text\/css text\/plain text\/vcard text\/vnd.rim.location.xloc text\/vtt text\/x-component text\/x-cross-domain-policy;\r\n\r\nlocation ~ ^\\\/(?:build|tests|config|lib|3rdparty|templates|data)\\\/ {\r\n\tdeny all;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlocation ~ ^\\\/(?:\\.|autotest|occ|issue|indie|db_|console) {\r\n\tdeny all;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlocation ~ ^\\\/(?:updater|ocs-provider)(?:$|\\\/) {\r\n\ttry_files $uri\/ =404;\r\n\tindex index.php;\r\n}\r\n\r\n# Adding the cache control header for js and css files\r\n\r\nlocation ~ \\.(?:css|js|woff2?|svg|gif)$ {\r\n\ttry_files $uri \/index.php$request_uri;\r\n\tadd_header Cache-Control \"public, max-age=15778463\";\r\n\tadd_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;\r\n\tadd_header X-XSS-Protection \"1; mode=block\";\r\n\tadd_header X-Robots-Tag none;\r\n\tadd_header X-Download-Options noopen;\r\n\tadd_header X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies none;\r\n\tadd_header Referrer-Policy no-referrer;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlocation ~ \\.(?:png|html|ttf|ico|jpg|jpeg)$ {\r\n\ttry_files $uri \/index.php$request_uri;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
NGINX-Settings:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In PHP settings<\/code> we set the version to 7.2.x or 7.3.x and enter the following value under OPEN-Base-Dir<\/code>:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
{WEBSPACEROOT}{\/}{:}{TMP}{\/}:\/dev\/urandom:\/proc\/meminfo<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
in section disable_functions<\/code> you have to delete opcache_get_status<\/code> and insert none<\/code>.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to adjust the upload_max_filesize<\/code> and post_max_size<\/code> values.<\/p>\n
as example we can use the following values if you want to upload files not greater than 2 GB:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Then set pm<\/code> to dynamic<\/code> and adjust, as example:
\n 
\n\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
At the bottom of the page under Additional configuration instructions<\/code>, we set following parameters:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
opcache.enable_cli=1\r\nopcache.interned_strings_buffer=8\r\nopcache.max_accelerated_files=10000\r\nopcache.memory_consumption=128\r\nopcache.save_comments=1\r\nopcache.revalidate_freq=1\r\n\r\n[php-fpm-pool-settings]\r\nenv[PATH] = \/usr\/local\/bin:\/usr\/bin:\/bin<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
To allow uploading large files, we have to adjust the nginxClientMaxBodySize in panel.ini of Plesk:
\nWe can do this in two ways, the easiest way is to edit the file with nano:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/opt\/psa\/admin\/conf\/panel.ini<\/pre>\n
and we add the following content:<\/p>\n
[webserver]\r\nnginxClientMaxBodySize = 2048M<\/pre>\n
or you can install the „Panel.ini Editor“-Extension of Plesk and edit the file in Plesk:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Do not to forget to save this file.<\/p>\n
Among the hosting settings<\/code>, we have to set the 301 redirect<\/code> (http to https) and run php<\/code> set to FPM Application served by nginx<\/code>:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Prepare Database<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Add a database within the subdomain:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
and accept or adjust the following settings and write them down for later use:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Finish the installation<\/strong><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Via the web browser, we call our Nextcloud-Webinstaller and complete the Installation now:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/nextcloud.your-domain.tld\/setup-nextcloud.php<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In the next step, we enter a single „.“ into the field:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
And after another click on  „Next“, we should see the success of the installation:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
The next step is to adjust the settings:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
If we are logged in, we have to edit the config.php<\/code> in config directory in Plesk via File Manager and insert the following block for the cache behind the „Trusted Domains-Array“ (if redis is installed):<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
'memcache.distributed' => '\\\\OC\\\\Memcache\\\\Redis',\r\n'memcache.local' => '\\OC\\Memcache\\\\Redis',\r\n'memcache.locking' => '\\\\OC\\\\Memcache\\\\Redis',\r\n'redis' => array(\r\n'host' => 'localhost',\r\n'port' => 6379,\r\n),<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
it should look like this:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If we have ssh-access (as root or Plesk-User), then we can create a CRON<\/code> job (adjust user) for Nextcloud-Background-Jobs<\/a>:<\/p>\n
you can find the user in the domain view of plesk:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 
\nas example with my User as root:<\/p>\n
sudo crontab -u nextclouding.de -e<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
if you have ssh-Access as Plesk-User „nextclouding.de“ than:<\/p>\n
crontab -e<\/pre>\n
and enter the following lines (customize domain and subdomain):<\/p>\n
 
\nfor php7.2:<\/p>\n
SHELL=\"\/bin\/sh\"\r\n*\/15    *       *       *       *       \/opt\/plesk\/php\/7.2\/bin\/php -f 'nextcloud.your-domain.tld\/cron.php' > \/dev\/null<\/pre>\n
 
\nfor php7.3:<\/p>\n
SHELL=\"\/bin\/sh\"\r\n*\/15    *       *       *       *       \/opt\/plesk\/php\/7.3\/bin\/php -f 'nextcloud.your-domain.tld\/cron.php' > \/dev\/null<\/pre>\n
Sometimes it is also possible to add a task via the GUI:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Otherwise, we use an external WebCron service, for example EasyCron<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The URL that needs to be called is:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
https:\/\/nextcloud.domain.tld\/nextcloud\/cron.php<\/pre>\n
 
\nAmong the basic settings, we check Nextcloud for errors and subsequently also in Plesk in the subdomain under logs.<\/p>\n
you should see a warning for bigint indentifiers<\/a> <\/p>\n
because of this you have to execute the following command in your shell:<\/p>\n
sudo -u admin php \/var\/www\/vhosts\/your-domain.tld\/nextcloud.your-domain.tld\/occ db:convert-filecache-bigint<\/pre>\n
After this errors or warnings should no longer be displayed.<\/p>\n
If you have problems or questions, suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact me. <\/p>\n
See you and happy Nextclouding \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
