Install Nextcloud 13.0.0 on Fedora 27

JaredBusch

Updated to install php-json as it seems to be a new requirement in recent Fedora 28 builds running 13.x

Thanks to @zachary715 for testing a clean build.

@JaredBusch cronie is not installed by default when using a clean install of Fedora 28 Minimal.

Is that needed now or something?

It's only needed if we want to use crond service to call the cron.php file every 15 minutes.

Ah, for post setup. Yeah. That would be important for some. Myself in fact as I always set my systems to use the cron method.

If you update to this download, it keeps it up to date.

@jaredbusch

I know that you like doing super minimal installs without package assumptions. In my environment (Fedora 28 LXC image) there is no FirewallD package.

So this is needed to make your directions work.

dnf -y install firewalld
systemctl enable firewalld
systemctl start firewalld

Well, went through that with CentOS a while back not having the firewall active in a minimal install.

I just cannot fathom any system not using it, got any reason.

So why does an LXC container not have a firewall?

I think that they assume you'll use a firewall higher up the stack, but for portability you don't often want to do that. No clue why it's missing from the LXC image, but I've used it a bit and it's never there, I always have to add it.

I know this is Late but Following this Guide I have ran into a problem:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/nextcloud : no such File or directory

Error When running the command to install apache config file. . .

What happens if you run...

dnf install httpd

If you missed that, it means you missed the install command that installs everything. Check Jared's instructions, the first command is an update, the second installs all of the dependencies. That this was missing, means you missed the majority of the Nextcloud installation. I'd go back and check what you did.

@wrcombs I know this is for learning so look up everything in his guide in the man pages to learn what everything is and all of the modifiers. Example: man ls man httpd man mkdir man chmodetc.

Locking while we fork.
