Nextcloud helps store your files, folders, contacts, photo galleries, calendars and more on a server of your choosing. Access that folder from your mobile device, your desktop, or a web browser. Access your data wherever you are, when you need it.
This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:
Nextcloud Server:
Installed from a pinned official zip file to /var/www/nextcloud. No automatic core updates.
Data directory (/var/www/nextcloud-data) outside the webroot (security).
Includes occ script for command line administration and configuration. Also includes turnkey-occ wrapper script (runs occ as www-data user).
Nextcloud core and bundled apps are root-owned. The web service owns config.php and can write its configuration directory so administrator settings, scheduled jobs and console commands work. Configuration and custom apps are web-writable executable-code boundaries. Install only apps and updates you trust.
Security note: Run supervised core updates as
rootwithturnkey-nextcloud-update. The command uses Nextcloud's updater and restores the appliance ownership boundary afterwards. See Nextcloud documentation for upgrade planning and backups.
SSL support out of the box.
Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).
Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).
Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
- Webmin, SSH, MySQL: username root
- Adminer: username adminer
- Nextcloud: username admin
First boot also requests the Nextcloud administrator's recovery email address.
Unattended initial setup requires APP_EMAIL alongside APP_PASS and
APP_DOMAIN. Re-running setup preserves the existing address unless a new
one is supplied. Configure supported outgoing mail or an SMTP relay in Nextcloud
and verify delivery before relying on password recovery.
