## Build your own VM, or install on a VPS
DigitalOcean example: https://youtu.be/LlqY5Y6P9Oc
The script will mount and format the drive. Please select Manually Format & Mount when adding the second volume.
#### Minimum requirements:
* A clean [Ubuntu Server 18.04.X](http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/) using the alternative installer
* OpenSSH (preferred)
* 20 GB HDD for OS
* XX GB HDD for DATA (/mnt/ncdata)
* Absolute minimum is 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM (4 GB minimum if you are running OnlyOffice)
* A working internet connection (the script needs it to download files and variables)
* [VMware Player](https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-player/workstation-player-evaluation.html) (fully tested with Hyper-V and KVM as well).
#### Recommended
* DHCP available
* 40 GB HDD for OS
* 4 vCPU
* 4 GB RAM
* Port 80 and 443 open to the server. [Here's](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/allow-port-80/) why port 80 is recomended. Yes, the VM handles redirection to 443.
#### Installation
1. Get the latest install script from master and install it with a sudo user:
`sudo bash -c "$(wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/vm/master/nextcloud_install_production.sh)"`
2. When the VM is installed it will automatically reboot. Remember to login with the user you created:
`ssh @IP-ADDRESS`
If it automatically runs as root when you reboot the machine, you have to abort it by pressing `CTRL+C` and run the script as the user you just created:
`sudo -u sudo bash /var/scripts/nextcloud-startup-script.sh`
3. Please note that the installation/setup is *not* finished by just running the `nextcloud_install_production.sh` When you login with the (new) sudo user you ran the script with in step 2 you will automatically be presented with the setup script.
## Machine configuration of the released version
Please check the configuration [here](https://docs.hanssonit.se/s/W6fMouPiqQz3_Mog/virtual-machines-vm/d/W7Du9uPiqQz3_Mr1/machine-setup-nextcloud-vm).

## Do you want to run this on your Raspberry Pi?
Great news! We have forked this repository and created a Raspberry Pi image that you can download from here:
https://github.com/techandme/NextBerry or here https://www.techandme.se/nextberry-rpi/.
We call it NextBerry and it's confirmed to be working on Raspberry Pi 2 & 3.
NOTE (2018-08-01): This is not maintained anymore, but keeping the info in case someone wants to pick it up again.
## I want to test RC!
No problem! We made it simple. Run `update.sh` but abort it before it starts so that you have the latest `nextcloud_update.sh`. Then put this in your `nextcloud_update.sh` below the curl command (lib.sh) but before everything else and run it:
To test a specific RC version:
```
NCREPO="https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases"
NCVERSION=12.0.1RC5
STABLEVERSION="nextcloud-$NCVERSION"
```
Or the latest RC:
```
NCREPO="https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases"
NCVERSION=$(curl -s -m 900 $NCREPO/ | sed --silent 's/.*href="nextcloud-\([^"]\+\).zip.asc".*/\1/p' | sort --version-sort | tail -1)
STABLEVERSION="nextcloud-$NCVERSION"
```
## FAQ
Keep asking questions so that we can add them here.
**Q: Where can i dowload VMware Player?**
**A:** You can download the latest release [here](https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/12_0).
**Q: Why are my apps are disabled during an upgrade?**
**A:** Check [here](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/11102#issuecomment-427685621
).
**Q: How to update Nextcloud VM?**
**A:** You cannot use the built in updater in Nextcloud GUI due to secure permissions on this VM. Use the built-in script instead:
`sudo bash /var/scripts/update.sh` or run `run_update_nextcloud` as root from your terminal.
**Q: How do I run the occ command?**
**A:** We've added an alias for that as well. As root, just run `nextcloud_occ`

**A:** https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/issues/639#issuecomment-416472543
**Q: The downloaded file is just a few kilobytes, or corrupted**
**A:** This is due to heavy load on the server. Please try again in a few minutes.
**Q: The script says: "WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface yet. Use with caution in scripts"**
**A:** http://askubuntu.com/a/463966
**Q: I get NETWORK NOT OK when booting the VM. How do I solve that?**
**A:** There are a few causes to this error, most of them are your own network or firewall settings.
- Remove the VM NIC adapter in settings on VMware/Virtualbox and then re-adding a NIC adapter.
- Check your firewall so that it doesn't block this specific IP
- Check your router/firewall that you have DHCP enabled.
**Q: I get a message that I'm not root, but I am.**
**A:** Please see here: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/issues/200
**Q: Which Hyper-V generation should we chose when creating a machine to load this image?**
**A:** You currently need to use a 1st generation machine.

**A:** Yes, it's controlled by a cronjob. Just disable the cronjob to disable automatic updates.

**A:** There are several ways. We recommend Rsync to a NAS or similar. You can find a script here: https://www.techandme.se/rsync-backup-script/
**Q: Can I install in a VM with a NAT and port redirection of port 443 & 10000 & 22?**
