your Ubuntu 20.04 VPS via SSH as the root user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>ssh root@IP_ADDRESS -p PORT_NUMBER<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, run the following commands to upgrade all installed packages on your VPS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>apt-get upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>apt-get update

PHP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nextcloud runs on the webserver and PHP-based application. So you will need to install the Apache webserver, PHP and other required PHP extensions in your server. You can install all of them with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>apt-get install php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-xml php7.4-cli php7.4-cgi php7.4-mysql php7.4-mbstring php7.4-gd php7.4-curl php7.4-zip php-imagick php7.4-json php7.4-intl -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the packages are installed, verify the PHP version using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>php -v<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><br>You should see the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code> PHP 7.4.3 (cli) (built: May  5 2020 12:14:27) ( NTS )\n Copyright (c) The PHP Group\n Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies\n with Zend OPcache v7.4.3, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-install-and-configure-mariadb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-and-Configure-MariaDB\"><\/span>Step 3 : Install and Configure MariaDB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nextcloud uses MariaDB to store information. You can install the MariaDB server and other packages with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client unzip wget -y <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, secure the MariaDB installation by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer all the questions as shown below to set the MariaDB root password and secure the installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code> Enter current password for root (enter for none):\n Set root password?

[Y\/n] Y\n Reload privilege tables now? [Y\/n] Y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the MariaDB is secured, log in to the MariaDB console with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>mysql -u root -p<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide your root password when prompt then create a database and user for NextCloud with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>MariaDB [(none)]&gt; CREATE DATABASE nextclouddb;<br>MariaDB [(none)]&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextclouddb.* TO 'nextcloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, flush the privileges and exit from the MariaDB console with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>MariaDB [(none)]&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<br>MariaDB [(none)]&gt; EXIT;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-install-nextcloud\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Install-Nextcloud\"><\/span>Step 4 : Install Nextcloud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing this article, the latest version of Nextcloud is 18.0.4. You can download it from the Nextcloud&#8217;s official website using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>wget https:\/\/download.nextcloud.com\/server\/releases\/nextcloud-18.0.4.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the download is completed, unzip the downloaded file to the Apache root directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>unzip nextcloud-18.0.4.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, change the ownership of the nextcloud directory to www-data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/nextcloud<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-configure-apache-for-nextcloud\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Configure-Apache-for-Nextcloud\"><\/span>Step 5 : Configure Apache for Nextcloud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, create a new Apache virtual host configuration file to serve the Nextcloud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/nextcloud.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the following content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><br><code> &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;<br> DocumentRoot \"\/var\/www\/html\/nextcloud\"<br> ServerName your-domain.com<br> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/nextcloud.error<br> CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/nextcloud.access combined<br> &lt;Directory \/var\/www\/html\/nextcloud\/&gt;<br> Require all granted<br> Options FollowSymlinks MultiViews<br> AllowOverride All<br> &lt;IfModule mod_dav.c&gt;<br> Dav off<br> &lt;\/IfModule&gt;<br> SetEnv HOME \/var\/www\/html\/nextcloud<br> SetEnv HTTP_HOME \/var\/www\/html\/nextcloud<br> Satisfy Any<br> &lt;\/Directory&gt;<br> &lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save and close the file.
