# Nextcloud
2019-09-05 00:51:55 +00:00
Students and teachers can store their documents, calendars, contacts and photos locally within [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com), which is much like having a (local) version of Dropbox or Google Drive on your very own [Internet-in-a-Box](http://internet-in-a-box.org).

This Ansible playbook was derived from an earlier ownCloud playbook thanks to [Josh Dennis](https://github.com/floydianslips) in 2016/2017.

## What's Included
The Nextcloud suite is divided into three main categories:
- [Nextcloud Files](https://nextcloud.com/files/) – Enterprise File Sync and Share
- [Nextcloud Talk](https://nextcloud.com/talk/) – Calls, chat and web meetings
- [Nextcloud Groupware](https://nextcloud.com/groupware/) – Calendar, Contacts & Mail
## Install It
2019-09-05 00:51:55 +00:00
(1) Set these 2 variable in [/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml](http://FAQ.IIAB.IO#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it.3F) prior to installing Internet-in-a-Box:
nextcloud_install: True
nextcloud_enabled: True
2020-02-16 04:19:36 +00:00
<strike>(2) If you want to access Nextcloud from IPv4 addresses across the public Internet, then also set:
2019-09-05 00:51:55 +00:00
nextcloud_allow_public_ips: True
2020-02-16 04:19:36 +00:00
To further refine Nextcloud access controls based on IPv4 addresses, you can edit `/etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf` _after_ it's created by this template: [/opt/iiab/iiab/roles/nextcloud/templates/nextcloud.conf.j2](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/nextcloud/templates/nextcloud.conf.j2)</strike>

2020-02-16 04:26:05 +00:00
(3) Strongly consider also setting `nginx_high_php_limits: True` in your /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml, to allocate important RAM/resources to PHP. Of course, enabling this might cause excess use of RAM/disk or other resources if not calibrated to your hardware and network! So _after_ install is complete, verify and evaluate these 5 settings in /etc/php/[ACTUAL PHP VERSION]/fpm/php.ini:
2019-09-05 00:51:55 +00:00
- upload_max_filesize
- post_max_size
- memory_limit (Nextcloud recommends 512+ MB)
- max_execution_time
- max_input_time
2020-02-16 16:49:22 +00:00
Useful PHP recommendations for these settings (while largely tailored to WordPress, and aimed at very low-end hardware) can be found here: [/opt/iiab/iiab/roles/www_front_end/tasks/main.yml#L47-L51](../www_front_end/tasks/main.yml#L47-L51)

## Future Directions
2019-09-04 19:09:58 +00:00
2019-09-04 17:05:46 +00:00
Going forward, should Internet-in-a-Box consider integrating optimizations (or more!) from these below?
