# Nextcloud README
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
(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
|
|
|
|
<strike>(2) If you want to access Nextcloud from IPv4 addresses across the public Internet, then also set:
|
|
|
|
nextcloud_allow_public_ips: True
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
(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 6 settings in /etc/php/[ACTUAL PHP VERSION]/fpm/php.ini:
|
|
|
|
- upload_max_filesize
|
|
- post_max_size
|
|
- memory_limit (Nextcloud recommends 512+ MB)
|
|
- max_execution_time
|
|
- max_input_time
|
|
- max_input_vars (Moodle 3.11+ requires 5000+ with PHP 8+)
|
|
|
|
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_options/tasks/main.yml#L53-L133](../www_options/tasks/main.yml#L53-L133)
|
|
|
|
(4) If you're running Nextcloud 22+ in production, carefully check that Nextcloud's latest formal prereqs (required AND recommended) are included per your community's needs. In places like these:
|
|
|
|
- https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/22/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#prerequisites-for-manual-installation
|
|
- https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/nextcloud/tasks/install.yml
|
|
|
|
## Using It
|
|
|
|
Log in to Nextcloud at http://box/nextcloud, http://box.lan/nextcloud, http://172.18.96.1/nextcloud (or similar) using:
|
|
|
|
Username: Admin
|
|
Password: changeme
|
|
|
|
## Future Directions
|
|
|
|
Going forward, should Internet-in-a-Box consider integrating optimizations (or more!) from these below?
