Nextcloud installation to shared hosting (kapsi.fi)
With Borg backups

Table of Contents

Nextcloud

Philosophy

Nextcloud offers the industry-leading, on-premises content collaboration platform.

  • Decentralized and federated cloud.
  • Decentralized: I’m in control, but also responsible of my data.
  • Federated: Scales infinitely, I can easily share, and never run out of space. This obv. requires me to contact Kapsi admins and request more disk space or, setup e.g. an Amazon S3 bucket as an external storage.
  • Open source: no vendor lock-in, ensured continuous development, and I like Nextcloud’s roadmap, when compared e.g. to Dropbox.
  • Photos backup in original quality, so I don’t have to pay Google Photos / iCloud subscription.

Preparation

  • Find a hosting provider, e.g. Kapsi, that has the needed infrastructure already setup and maintained (MariaDB, php, etc.). Install there to data storage called “Siilo”.
  • If Kapsi is to be selected, then request Kapsi admins a data storage page, see instructions for that. In my case the page requested was: https://pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/.

Data Migration

Pre-installation tasks on kapsi

  • After you’ve requested and paid for your Kapsi-credentials, none. Infra and OS are already in place.

Installation

Navigate to your www-directory:

$ cd ~/siilo/sites/yoursite-siilo.kapsi.fi/www

Download the latest install tarball, in my case 16.0.4:

$ wget 'https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-16.0.4.tar.bz2'

Extract it:

$ tar xvfj nextcloud-16.0.4.tar.bz2

  • Open browser and go to https://yoursite-siilo.kapsi.fi/nextcloud/index.php/login
  • Choose whether to install into a sub-folder or to the root of www -directory (in that case just enter . (dot) for the installation path).
  • Create admin account by entering admin username and password.
  • Select Storage & Database section, select MariaDB.
  • Enter database. Usually the database name and the user is the same as the Kapsi username. The host address of Kapsi MySQL server is db1.n.kapsi.fi. If you do not have a personal password for database, you can ask for it from the Kapsi support. Database maintenance then happens at https://pakki.kapsi.fi/phpmyadmin/

Post-installation tasks

Edit .htaccess

  • When connecting through https, the following error is shown in the admin panel:
The “Strict-Transport-Security” HTTP header is not configured to at least “15552000” seconds.

To do away with that, modify .htaccess:

$ nano ~/siilo/sites/yoursite.siilo.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/.htaccess

  • Insert inside <IfModule mod_headers.c>:
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains"
  • Allow access from different ip-addresses if accessing Nexcloud with multiple clients. Inside <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> insert:
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://yoursite-siilo.kapsi.fi/$1 [R=301,L]

Edit: Above seems not to be needed anymore after Nextcloud version 16.0.1.

  • Last, append to the end of .htaccess a rule:
IndexIgnore *
<Limit GET POST PUT DELETE OPTIONS PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>

Edit .user.ini

  • Otherwise error is thrown in Settings - Overview:
The PHP memory limit is below the recommended value of 512MB
  • Error was found on [2019-05-17 Fri] after upgrade from 15.0.7 to version 16.0.1. This seems to be kapsi specific.
  • Fixed this on [2019-05-19 Sun] as per Kapsi’s php.ini instructions by appending to /nextcloud/.user.ini the values:
post_max_size = 10000M
upload_max_filesize = 10000M
memory_limit = 512M

Same issue has been reported at Github’s nextcloud project.

Edit config.php

  • Append:
'trashbin_retention_obligation' => '30, 60',
'versions_retention_obligation' => '30, 180',
'tempdirectory' => '/siilo/6/pyyhttu/sites/tmp',
'simpleSignUpLink.shown' => false,
'default_phone_region' => 'FI',

Where,

Two-Factor Authentication

  • Login with your admin account to nextcloud and go to Settings - Personal - Security.
  • Generate the backup codes and store them somewhere safe. You need them if you lose your phone and access to TOTP.
  • Download and install to your phone a two-factor authenticator app.
  • Click "Enable TOTP", scan with the phone installed app the displayed QR-code.
  • Input the code from phone and click verify.
  • Consider enabling the same for all user accounts for added security.

Apps

from phone After upgrade, go to Apps to check that the apps are still enabled. Some may have been marked with "Enable untested app" and needs to be enabled manually as the apps don’t yet support the new nextcloud version.

Current unofficial Apps installed:

  • Metadata
  • Contacts

    To setup the contact record synchronization from iOS client’s Contacts app to Nextcloud via CardDAV, follow the nextcloud docs. For Kapsi-specific settings I used these:

    Also change Default Account to Nextcloud in iOS at Settings, Contacts. This way when opening Contacts app, the master group for contacts is already Nextcloud (and not Exchange, local iPhone etc.).

  • Group Folders

    Group folders are setup like so:

    Table 1: Settings - Administration - Group folders
    Folder name Groups Write/Share/Delete
    Familyshared groupfamily All
    Heidihome groupheidi All
    Tuomashome grouptuomas All
  • News

    Also edit cron so that News “at every 15th minute” polls the content from the feeds:

    $ crontab -e 

    # */15  *  *  *  * php -f /home/users/pyyhttu/siilo/sites/yoursite.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/cron.php

    Then install a client for your phone/desktop.

  • Unsplash
  • Camera Raw Previews
  • Extract
  • Right Click
  • Sharing Path
  • Maps

    (Does not work yet with groupfolder photos due to bug 123.

    Photos’ exif coordinates are scanned periodically by a background job. This will not apply to any past photos prior Maps installed, so to add those to map, run:

    $ php occ maps:scan-photos user_id

    Note: Upon inspecting results after this command fom Maps, the existing pictures disappear. Now waiting if they come back, or if I botched by database.

    Current official Apps disabled:

  • Preview Generator
    • After installed, run in ../nextcloud/:

    $ php occ preview:generate-all -vvv

    • Once finished, add the crojob:

    $ crontab -e 

    */10 * * * * php /home/users/pyyhttu/siilo/sites/pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/occ preview:pre-generate -vvv~

      Although the addon is disabled, the errors persisted so removed it altogether which stopped the errors.

Settings

  • Login as an admin user, go to Settings (upper right corner).
  • Personal Info
    • Language: English (US)
    • Locale: English (Finland)
  • Security
    • TOTP (Authenticator app): [✓] Enable TOTP

    Remember to generate backup codes and store them somewhere safe.

    • Create new app passwords for devices and services that need it (NextStats for iOS etc.)
  • Sharing
    • Sharing Path: [✓] Enable Sharing Path
  • Basic Settings
    • Email server
    • Send mode: SMTP
    • Encryption: STARTTLS
    • From address: [your-handle]@kapsi.fi
    • Authentication method: None [✓] Authentication required
    • Server address: mail.kapsi.fi:587
    • Credentials: [your-handle] [your password]

    Edit: Send mode: SMTP seems to write config/config.php with 'mail_smtppassword' in plain text, which is not wanted. Luckily, Send mode: Sendmail does not require authentication, so configure Email server with that instead:

    • Send mode: Sendmail
    • Encryption:
    • From address: [your-handle]@kapsi.fi
  • Theming
    • Random Background Images: [✓] Set random image as login background

Other tweaks

  • Hide rich workspaces: Login as a non-admin user, go to Settings (lower left corner), uncheck Show rich workspaces.

FOLLOWUP Security scan

Running security scan at https://scan.nextcloud.com/ against hosting at Kapsi should give A. The only missing score is from __Host-Prefix, which is because I have nextcloud installed to a subdirectory. Observe also this reddit thread and especially its linked Github issue for resolution.

NEXT Reinstall Nextcloud to root of siilo to get the highest rating.

Maintenance

Backups

  • NEXT investigate into backup strategy
    • Will eventually use the 3-2-1 rule for backups, which will result in automatized, versioned backups. 3-2-1-backups explained.
    • For now, we run a manual rsync for backup. First, put the server to maintenance mode:

    $ php occ maintenance:mode --on

    • Then config, data, themes and database are needed for complete nextcloud backup:

    $ rsync -avx config/ ../config-bak_`date +"%Y%m%d"`/

    $ rsync -avx data/ ../data-bak_`date +"%Y%m%d"`/

    $ rsync -avx themes/ ../themes-bak_`date +"%Y%m%d"`/

    $ mysqldump --single-transaction -h db1.n.kapsi.fi -u pyyhttu -p[password] pyyhttu > nextcloud-sql-bak_`date +"%Y%m%d"`.bak

    • Finally, remember to lift the maintenance mode off:

    $ php occ maintenance:mode --off

  • NEXT Exlude images created by Preview Generator from backups
    • That is, location ..//nextcloud/data/appdata_ocg80o430zwr/preview, which currently takes 78G (and counting).
  • NEXT Investigate usage of NextBackup for DB-backups
  • NEXT Investigate what is needed to backup contacts

NEXT Install borgbackup on NAS pi and pull periodic backups from Kapsi to pi OpenMediaVault

Reindexing

  • When mass copying/moving files through ssh inside Nexcloud’s directory structure, you need to issue a reindex command so that Nextcloud’s DB indexes the copied/movied files and show them in its UI:

$ cd ~/siilo/sites/pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/

$ php occ files:scan --all

Upgrading

  • New version is announced at Nextcloud blog.
  • When the next “dot-release” is announced, upgrade can be done usually right away.
  • When the next “major-release” is announced, it is not offered through stable update channels until the first dot release is out. More information at release channels.
  • Changelog of releases is available at Nextcloud Server Changelog.
  • In any case, take backups prior upgrading since downgrading is not supported.
  • To upgrade to a new version, first inspect whether there are updates available for Apps. Update them from UI, or from command line by doing at ../nextcloud/:

$ php occ app:list

$ php occ app:update <appname>

Then, review third-party apps (i.e. not Official), for their compatibility with the new Nextcloud major version. Before the upgrade, all 3rd party apps must be disabled manually. Disabling apps is not needed with updater.phar script as it disables apps automatically. After the upgrade has been completed, re-enable the supported apps that were disabled with their new versions one by one.

$ cd to /nextcloud/updater/

$ php updater.phar 

$ php updater.phar

Troubleshooting

DONE Found on [2019-03-31 Sun] with version 14.0.3

  • Error in Settings - Overview:
The database is missing some indexes. Due to the fact that adding indexes on big tables could take some time they were not added automatically. By running "occ db:add-missing-indices" those missing indexes could be added manually while the instance keeps running. Once the indexes are added queries to those tables are usually much faster.

Your web server is not properly set up to resolve "/.well-known/caldav".
  • This is actually wanted behaviour if nextcloud is installed in a subdirectory, see issue 12572 and especially comment in issue 11787. So to remedy this, I should install on shared hosting the nextcloud not to a subdirectory, but to root.

Update: After updating from 20.0.11 to 21.0.3 I now get two new entries: 

Your web server is not properly set up to resolve "/.well-known/webfinger". Further information can be found in the documentation.
Your web server is not properly set up to resolve "/.well-known/nodeinfo". Further information can be found in the documentation.

I assume, that above finding of installing nextcloud to root fixes also warnings with webfinger and nodeinfo.

Some columns in the database are missing a conversion to big int. Due to the
fact that changing column types on big tables could take some time they were
not changed automatically. By running 'occ db:convert-filecache-bigint' those

while the instance is offline. For further details read the documentation
page about this.

DONE Found on [2020-08-27 Thu] after upgrade from 18.0.8 to version 19.0.2

Following error observed at Settings, Overview: 

The database is missing some optional columns. Due to the fact that adding columns on big tables could take some time they were not added automatically when they can be optional. By running "occ db:add-missing-columns" those missing columns could be added manually while the instance keeps running. Once the columns are added some features might improve responsiveness or usability.

Fixed by running in ../nextcloud/:

$ php occ db:add-missing-columns

FOLLOWUP Found on [2020-09-05 Sat] with version 19.0.2

  • Enabled app Preview Generator and ran $ php occ preview:generate-all -vvv as recommended and documented in app’s README.md.
  • This operation lasted for 24h and resulted in 90GB of files at ../nextcloud/data/appdata_ocg80o430zwr/preview/.
  • After this logs started to show errors as:

Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) at /siilo/6/pyyhttu/sites/pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/3rdparty/doctrine/dbal/lib/Doctrine/DBAL/Driver/PDOStatement.php#158

  • Above error can be triggered when I try to delete a photo.
  • There is potential fix at #22008 but will be merged in at earlies in Nextcloud 20 milestone (but backported to earlier release then).
  • Follow up #22008 at server changelogs and observe if the errors are mitigated after update. If not, then:
  • Run again $ php occ files:scan --all to rectify if preview:generate-all initially did corrupt my database.
  • Then rerun Preview Generator, but this time not for every preview, but with “Recommended configuration” as instructed here.

DONE Found on [2020-10-02 Fri] with version 19.0.3

When accessing the login page, I get an error:

We have detected multiple invalid login attempts from your IP. Therefore your next login is throttled up to 30 seconds.

I also see that both iOS apps News and Nextcloud sync client do not finish their syncs.

  • The error is caused by multiple requests coming from my IP, triggering Brute-force settings to throttle the login attempts.
  • Solution: Go to /settings/admin/security/ and define under Brute-force IP whitelist your IP.
  • After this error is no longer displayed on login page, and sync clients work.

NEXT To resolve News module’s error code: “Non UTF-8 charset for MySQL/MariaDB database detected!”

Edit: Following requires at least MariaDB 10.3, however, according to phpmyadmin, I’m only at Server version: 10.0.37-MariaDB-0+deb8u1 - (Debian) Note: do below again with fresh install when kapsi upgrades Debian to Buster. MariaDB 10.3. should then be available.

Note : Seems to be available now as doing:

$ mysql -V

mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.18-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

However, phpMyAdmin still shows v. 10.0.38 as well as by doing $ mysql -u pyyhttu -p pyyhttu 

Enter password:
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 81186655

Edit [2021-01-17 Sun]: Now both $ myswl -V and $ mysql -u pyyhttu -p pyyhttu show version 10.3.27.

Following from: https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-snap/issues/369#issuecomment-337257286

Resetting log level

However, after the upgrade news addon is still generating errors in logs, namely this PHP error: 

Error: mkdir(): Permission denied at /siilo/6/pyyhttu/sites/pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/www/nextcloud/apps/news/lib/AppInfo/Application.php#104
  • Opening the issue at News app Github suggested to use 'tempdirectory' to override the default /tmp where Nextcloud stores temporary files.
  • So edited ../nextcloud/config/config.php and appended:
'tempdirectory' => '/siilo/6/pyyhttu/sites/tmp'
  • After above config change, the error was no longer visible.

DONE Found on [2020-12-25 Fri] with version 20.0.4

  • Noticed in the morning that iOS News client had stopped updating and further investigating showed that whole instance was offline. After navigating to login page there was an error:
It looks like you are trying to reinstall your
Nextcloud. However the file CAN_INSTALL is missing from your config
directory. Please create the file CAN_INSTALL in your config folder to
continue.
  • However, no updates were set to run in past 24h. In fact, latest update was completed on [2020-12-17 Thu] without issues.
  • Doing at /nextcloud/ $ touch CAN_INSTALL results in login page to update the message, this time offering a new installation, which is unwanted.
  • Noticed that /nextcloud/config/config.php had been getting modified on [2020-12-26 Sat], and the contents of it resembled nothing of a like normal config.php:
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'my-instance-id',
);
  • I had my last update backups at /nextcloud/data/updater-ocg80o430zwr/backups/nextcloud-20.0.3.2-1608203646/
  • So returning the backup by doing $ cp ../nextcloud/data/updater-ocg80o430zwr/backups/nextcloud-20.0.3.2-1608203646/config/config.php ../nextcloud/config/config.php and then force reloading Ctrl-F5 in browser the login page triggers an update from 20.0.3 to 20.0.4:
  • $ cd ../nextcloud/updater/
  • $ php updater.phar

Warning in Settings - Overview: 

The PHP OPcache module is not properly configured:

    The OPcache interned strings buffer is nearly full. To assure that repeating strings can be effectively cached, it is recommended to apply opcache.interned_strings_buffer to your PHP configuration with a value higher than 8.

Googling this out, gives plenty of results:

The OPcache interned strings buffer is nearly full #31223

adjust opcache settings #192

PHP OPcache module is not properly configured: OPcache interned strings buffer is nearly full #1692

DONE Found on [2024-02-17 Sat] after upgrade from 28.0.1 to version 28.0.2.

Warning in Settings - Overview: 

Server has no maintenance window start time configured. This means resource intensive daily background jobs will also be executed during your main usage time. We recommend to set it to a time of low usage, so users are less impacted by the load caused from these heavy tasks.

Warning documented here and here.

So warning resolved by adding 'maintenance_window_start' => 23, (maintenance then starts daily 23 UTC = 01 EET onward in some random 4h window).

DONE Found on [2024-02-17 Sat] after upgrade from 28.0.1 to version 28.0.2.

Warning in Settings - Overview: 

This instance is missing some recommended PHP modules. For improved performance and better compatibility it is highly recommended to install them: bz2.

Turns out this module is not needed after all, so it will be removed in the next point release.

DONE Found on [2024-02-17 Sat] after upgrade from 28.0.1 to version 28.0.2.

Error in Settings - Logging: 

Could not load log entries

Verified by disabling ublock origin. Some of the blocklists caused the logging window entries to be falsely blocked, so resolved by adding to ublock’s Trusted sites my Nextcloud domain as whitelisted.

DONE Found on [2024-02-17 Sat] after upgrade from 28.0.1 to version 28.0.2.

Noticed in Settings - Personal info: The time under Locale field is s off by 2 hours. Also the logs are off by 2 hours with local time display option set.

This is caused by Nextcloud relying on browser telling the time, and gets this through fingerprinting. However, I don’t want to turn in about:config the privacy.resistFingerprinting to false, so I add my Nextcloud domain to privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains instead, which gets the job done too.

Observations and future direction

NEXT Move nextcloud installation to https://pyyhttu-siilo.kapsi.fi/

  • As this is a major change, do this after the offsite backups have been setup and taken with borg.

NEXT Custom domain

If I ever want to run nextcloud from custom domain, then see this.

NEXT Layout customization

  • Google gallery.cnf what is possible in terms of presentation and sorting.

DONE Investigate on enabling encryption

  • Check this blog for background. Ensure that data is backed up and then after enabling encryption, test nextcloud phone app that it works while encryption is enabled. Note: Encryption as of 14.0.3 is very Alpha quality. Retain from implementing until it is more mature.
  • Edit [2020-08-24 Mon]: Much more mature now but still beta quality.
  • Encryption key on server are located in ../data directory, that’s why server side encryption for local data is pointless. The encryption Nextcloud comes now with,is more for remote storage:

If your Nextcloud server is not connected to any remote storage services, then it is better to use some other form of encryption such as file-level or whole disk encryption. Because the keys are kept on your Nextcloud server, it is possible for your Nextcloud admin to snoop in your files, and if the server is compromised the intruder may get access to your files.

Source: Nextcloud’s encryption documentation

Different encryption methods explained.

  • EndtoEnd encryption is a no-go due to the documented feature loss. A better choice is full disk encryption on home hosted server. Reconsider this when upgrading home NAS.

NEXT Research Cryptomator compatibility with NextCloud

  • Investigate especially if there’s any feature loss if iOS app is combined with iOS Nextcloud app. Google also cryptomator + nextcloud to see if there are problems with Nextcloud synchronization.

DONE Beorg with Working Copy Git client

Notes can be version controlled in iOS with Working Copy Git client. It is a bit pricey but you can setup a synchronized directory against your Github repository. Here are the settings to use it with.

NEXT Address certain apps (group folders) crashes

  • If needed, reinstall whole nextcloud

NEXT Monit to Kapsi

  • Inbox: “Re: [TN#660857] Lakka asennuspyyntö: […]”, April 25th 2021
  • To bounce crashed apps based on nextcloud.log.

NEXT Google Photoprims or Librephotos, to be installed along Nextcloud in shared hosting

  • Seems to be possible, at least with Photoprism, but they have paid subscription model in mind.
  • Would make it possible to have syncing of nextcloud and managing/tagging in photoprism?
  • It seems that Photoprism can be pointed to my Nextcloud photos directory.

NEXT Check that previews are enabled in config.php

NEXT Enable HEIC support.

Footnotes:

1

Do not copy and replace the files from backups as this will mess with nextcloud’s versioning. Rather, diff the files and manually append to the upgraded files the changes from the backups.

2

Warnings are OK. In case of errors during upgrade, check the two logs from nextcloud/data: nextcloud.log and updater.log.
