| Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nextcloud is installed under
${INSTDIR}
Official documentation is available at:
http://docs.nextcloud.com/server/${MAJOR}/admin_manual/
Post-installation instructions
==============================
*** It is highly recommended to use SSL on the webserver so that access is done
*** over https instead of http!
chroot(2)
---------
Nextcloud attempts to use the UTF-8 locale, which does not work by
default inside the /var/www chroot. This causes warning messages in
nextcloud's admin configuration page and logs. To prevent this problem,
run the following as root:
# mkdir -p /var/www/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/
# cp /usr/share/locale/UTF-8/LC_CTYPE \
/var/www/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/
OpenBSD HTTP daemon
-------------------
httpd(8) example configuration for nextcloud is stored under:
${PREFIX}/conf/modules.sample/httpd-nextcloud.conf
It needs to be enabled by (assuming you already have httpd and php working):
# cp ${PREFIX}/conf/modules.sample/httpd-nextcloud.conf /etc/
# echo 'include "/etc/httpd-nextcloud.conf"' >> /etc/httpd.conf
# rcctl restart httpd
nginx
-----
See:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/${MAJOR}/admin_manual/installation/nginx_nextcloud_9x.html
Apache2
-------
Apache2 configuration for nextcloud is stored under:
${PREFIX}/conf/modules.sample/apache-nextcloud.conf
It needs to be enabled by running the following command after the apache-httpd
package is installed:
# ln -s ../modules.sample/apache-nextcloud.conf /var/www/conf/modules
# rcctl restart apache2
PHP
---
Default PHP values for Apache2 are set under:
${TINSTDIR}/config/.htaccess
OpenBSD HTTP daemon users can match these .htaccess file values by
editing ${SYSCONFDIR}/php-${MODPHP_VERSION}.ini or ${SYSCONFDIR}/php-fpm.conf.
nginx users can match these .htaccess file values by configuring
fastcgi_param with a PHP_VALUE in ${SYSCONFDIR}/nginx/nginx.conf.
For enhanced performance, a PHP opcode cache can be used, either
use "opcache" (built-in to PHP 5.5+, enable "opcache.ini" to use it)
or install xcache.
Database configuration
----------------------
See the following URL for setting up a database for nextcloud:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/${MAJOR}/admin_manual/configuration_database/linux_database_configuration.html
Nextcloud can work with a PostgreSQL, MariaDB or SQLite3 database.
Support for SQLite3 is included with the main php package; to use
another database, the corresponding package needs to be installed
*before* setting up nextcloud:
php-pdo_pgsql or php-pdo_mysql
Configuration is done under:
${INSTDIR}/config/config.php
and the default "datadirectory" is set to:
${TINSTDIR}/data
When running chrooted, /var/www must be stripped from the paths.
Cron job
--------
Nextcloud needs to run background jobs on a regular basis. By default, it
will execute one task with each page loaded ("AJAX" option in the admin
interface). The prefered way is to use a cron(8) job instead.
(see http://<hostname>/nextcloud/index.php/settings/admin#backgroundjobs)
e.g.
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/ftp -Vo - http://<hostname>/nextcloud/cron.php >/dev/null
Memory caching
--------------
nextcloud server performance can be significantly improved with memory caching,
where frequently-requested objects are stored in memory for faster retrieval.
Distributed caching and Transactional File Locking is provided by Redis, an
in-memory data structure store.
More information and configuration example are available at:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/${MAJOR}/admin_manual/configuration_server/caching_configuration.html#id4
TL;DR
You need a redis server running (available in the redis package) then adapt and
append the following to:
${INSTDIR}/config/config.php
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
'redis' => array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 6379,
'timeout' => 0.0,
),
Authentication backends
-----------------------
When using a non-default user authentication backend (LDAP, IMAP, ...),
extra packages may be needed (e.g. php-ldap, php-imap).
Finishing and validating the installation
-----------------------------------------
Make sure the web server can resolve its hostname (e.g. if chrooted, by
creating /var/www/etc/hosts and/or /var/www/etc/resolv.conf).
Accessing http://<hostname>/nextcloud with a Web browser will finish the
installation and create a new admin user.
Updating
========
Before updating to a new release, read:
http://docs.nextcloud.com/server/${MAJOR}/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html
When using a PostgreSQL or MariaDB, the corresponding MDB2 php package
must be installed to properly upgrade the database:
php-pgsql or php-mysql
WebDAV access
=============
The personal WebDAV share can be accessed using the following URL (e.g.
with Nautilus, Thunar or Doplhin) and the corresponding user and
password for the share:
http://<hostname>/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav/
Apps and dependencies
=====================
To keep dependencies to a minimum, not all dependencies for all
installed apps are enforced. It is the job of the administrator to
manually install required packages according to the non-default apps he
wants to enable.
