-# What is Nextcloud?
-
-[Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) is a self-hosted solution for storage,
-communications, editing, calendar, contacts, and more.
-
-This tutorial assumes that you have an Ubuntu server and a domain name
-configured to point toward the server.
-
-# Install Dependencies
-
-To start, you will need to install the packages that Nextcloud requires:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.4
-sudo apt install php7.4-gd php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-intl
-sudo apt install php7.4-gmp php7.4-bcmath php-imagick php7.4-xml php7.4-zip
-```
-
-# Set Up MySQL
-
-Next, you will need to log in to MySQL as the `root` user of the machine.
-
-```sh
-sudo mysql -uroot -p
-```
-
-Once you've logged in, you must create a new user so that Nextcloud can manage
-the database. You will also create a `nextcloud` database and assign privileges:
-
-```sql
-CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
-CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS nextcloud CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;
-GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON nextcloud.** TO 'username'@'localhost';
-FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-quit;
-```
-
-# Download & Install Nextcloud
-
-To download Nextcloud, go the [Nextcloud downloads
-page](https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server), click on `Archive
-File` and right-click the big blue button to copy the link.
-
-Then, go to your server and enter the following commands to download, unzip, and
-move the files to your destination directory. This example uses `example.com` as
-the destination, but you can put it wherever you want to server your files from.
-
-```sh
-wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-23.0.3.zip
-sudo apt install unzip
-unzip nextcloud-23.0.3.zip
-sudo cp -r nextcloud /var/www/example.com
-```
-
-# Configure the Apache Web Server
-
-Now that the database is set up and Nextcloud is installed, you need to set up
-the Apache configuration files to tell the server how to handle requests for
-`example.com/nextcloud`.
-
-First, open the following file in the editor:
-
-```sh
-sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/nextcloud.conf
-```
-
-Once the editor is open, paste the following information in. Then, save and
-close the file.
-
-```config
-<VirtualHost *:80>
-    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
-    ServerName  example.com
-    ServerAlias www.example.com
-    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
-    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
-
-    <Directory /var/www/example.com/nextcloud/>
-        Require all granted
-        AllowOverride All
-        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
-        Satisfy Any
-
-        <IfModule mod_dav.c>
-            Dav off
-        </IfModule>
-    </Directory>
-</VirtualHost>
-```
-
-Once the file is saved, enable it with Apache:
-
-```sh
-sudo a2ensite nextcloud.conf
-```
-
-Next, enable the Apache mods required by Nextcloud:
-
-```sh
-sudo a2enmod rewrite headers env dir mime
-```
-
-Finally, restart Apache. If any errors arise, you must solve those before
-continuing.
-
-```sh
-sudo systemctl restart apache2
-```
-
-For the app to work, you must have the correct file permissions on your
-`nextcloud` directory. Set the owner to be `www-data`:
-
-```sh
-sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/nextcloud/
-```
-
-# DNS
-
-If you do not have a static IP address, you will need to update your DNS
-settings (at your DNS provider) whenever your dynamic IP address changes.
-
-For an example on how I do that with Cloudflare, see my other post: [Updating
-Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare API](../updating-dynamic-dns-with-cloudflare-api/)
-
-# Certbot
-
-If you want to serve Nextcloud from HTTPS rather than plain HTTP, use the
-following commands to issue Let's Encrypt SSL certificates:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install snapd
-sudo snap install core
-sudo snap refresh core
-sudo snap install --classic certbot
-sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
-sudo certbot --apache
-```
-
-# Results
-
-Voilà! You're all done and should be able to access Nextcloud from your domain
-or IP address.
