Disclaimer

Use at your own risk.

Please look first at the playbooks downloaded and run by the nextcloud-install.sh to understand whats going on and then decide if it is fine for you to run on your system.

You also should test this on an non-productive Test-System to fit your needs.

Prerequisites

This is needed for Downloading the Software, access to the Server from the Internet and the automatized creation of SSL-Certificates via letsencrypt.

• You need up-to-date Debian System preinstalled. Best with SSH-Connection. Maybe its working on debian-based Systems like Ubuntu too.
• Your System should have a working Internet-Access
• Your Machines hostname and subdomains should be accessible from the internet Port 80/443. Depending on your local setup you have to define needed IPv4 (Portforwarding) or IPv6 settings on your router and maybe you need a service like dynDNS for example from (deSEC - https://desec.io/) for your dynamic IP. You can check this for example with the following command:

host nextcloud.$(hostname)

su -c "hostnamectl hostname myhost.dedyn.io"
