owncloud stop supporting php8. So I decided to move on to next. nextcloud!
I’ve been upgrading ubuntu18 to 22. It’s a pretty big jump, so many major upgrade required. And since owncloud I’ve been using no longer support PHP8, so decided to search alternative.
This is great how-to article: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-nextcloud-ubuntu-22-04-nginx-postgresql
basically follow the instruction above and good to go except I use mysql instead.
I’ve already installed phpMyAdmin so I use to create a database for nextcloud (as ‘nextcloud’) and be able to use with my account, not root. then change the entire nextcloud folder to sudo chown www-data:www-data
run certbot to make ssl enable.
then access to the nextcloud, using the GUI to set up my account.
then download the desktop app to my mac, install, configure to sync the cloud folder <> mac local.
the sync speed is pretty fast. I’m impressed but it’s been more than 7 years I’ve used the owncloud, it’s good to be updated.
