What’s NextCloud?
NextCloud is a free open-source self-hosted cloud storage solution. It’s functionally similar to Dropbox. Proprietary cloud storage solutions (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) are convenient, but at a price: they can be used to collect personal data because your files are stored on their computers. If you worried about privacy, you can switch to NextCloud, which you can install on your private home server or on a virtual private server (VPS). You can upload your files to your server via NextCloud and then sync those files to your desktop computer, laptop or smartphone. This way you have full control of your data.
Step 1: Download NextCloud on Ubuntu 20.04
Log into your Ubuntu 20.04 server. Then download the NextCloud zip archive onto your server. The latest stable version is 21.0.1 at time of this writing. You may need to change the version number. Go to https://nextcloud.com/install and click the download for server button to see the latest version.
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-21.0.1.zip
sudo apt install unzip
sudo unzip nextcloud-21.0.1.zip -d /usr/share/nginx/
sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/nginx/nextcloud/ -R
Step 2: Create a Database and User for Nextcloud in MariaDB Database Server
sudo mysql
create database nextcloud;
create user nextclouduser@localhost identified by 'your-password';
grant all privileges on nextcloud.* to nextclouduser@localhost identified by 'your-password';
flush privileges;
exit;
Step 3: Create a Nginx Config File for Nextcloud
sudo vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name nextcloud.example.com;
