@scottalanmiller any ideas how to change the maximum upload size from the web? Web interface says "missing permissions to edit from here"
Send me the error. I’ll get it scripted.
It's not some much of an error its a greyed out box in settings, under the file handling.
If I remember correctly it has something to do with SELinux preventing you from changing that. It also can affect upgrading Nextcloud via web updater.
No, SELinux should not affect upgrading normally.

Okay
This is something that is really not clear in the documentation. Because I do not have people using the web interface much it is not something I have rmemebered to resolve.
It is annoying as fuck.

Running this as we speak...looking good, will report back.

Has there been some thread on a lesser site with people complaining NC is too hard to set up?

In all fairness, NC is actually quite difficult compared to something like, say, WordPress. NC's own docs are often outdated or unclear and expect many pieces to be done by you without clear guidance. NC isn't super hard, but getting it right the first time can be. Especially as NC does a very poor job of testing and clarifying which operating systems it is currently working best against.
So these guides really are needed, making a clear, solid starting point to getting NC running in a reliable way is very important.

Works great!
Thanks to @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch -

Would it make more sense for them to invest in Flatpak and/or Snap instead then we wouldn't have to deal with their unclear or outdated guides? But then again, their snap version is outdated.
What's the latest version is 12.0.4 even though 12.0.5 is the latest version of 12? And 13 is now released.

It might, although I think that those formats are very limited as they package everything and in the real world, people need a lot of options for something like Nextcloud. Snap is better for installing your desktop apps that are just optionless and simple. For an enterprise server, I don't think that it makes sense.

Correct.
They also primarily test against the wildly out of date Ubuntu 16.04.

@scottalanmiller Do you plan to include adding LE as part of this install?
Or do we just follow @JaredBusch guide & add LE. -

Or do we just follow @JaredBusch guide & add LE.I'm torn, because it requires a lot more info and setup to do that that often someone would not want. If they were using a reverse proxy, for instance, it would not go here.

So make a reserve proxy script
-
@scottalanmiller Isn't LE something that all NC Vultr installs would want to have?

No, most would be behind a proxy. Mine is, for example.

That might make sense, lol.

CentOS 7:
I used https://github.com/onbrella/app-installers/tree/master/nextcloud to perform a test installation last month. The script seemed to be secure enough.
I had to change the nextcloud-12-generic-storage-nginx.sh script to use SELinux and something else that I don't remember but it worked very well ; LetsEncrypt included.
The only thing I wasn't able to do is to remove /nextcloud from the URL; I will revisit the script later with NC 13 -

That is a multi-step process. I have documented it in my NC 11 guide here: https://mangolassi.it/post/279323

@jaredbusch
If I remember, your steps are for Apache; I was using nginx
**Edit: The scripts I posted suport Apache/nginx/minio -

**Edit: The scripts I posted suport Apache/nginx/minioI have never tried it with Nginx, so yeah.
But the removal of the /nextcloud bit is simply a change in the default webroot in Apache. So update that in Nginx. does that not resovle it?
-
@jaredbusch
No. It didn't work. I believe that I have to update the rules for PHP-FPM in nginx conf
Anyway, I will try again this week as I need to set up a NC server for production. I may use Apache; I haven't decided
