This is a guide on setting up NextCloud 20 with Nginx on FreeBSD 12.
h1. Prepare the Environment
* Before installation of the components, make sure everything is up to date using the following command:
<pre>
pkg update -f && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Create the nextcloud user:
<pre>
pw user add -n nextcloud -m -s /sbin/nologin -c "NextCloud"
</pre>
---
h1. Install Nginx
* Install Nginx
<pre>
pkg install nginx
</pre>
* Start and enable nginx at boot:
<pre>
sysrc nginx_enable=YES
service nginx start
</pre>
* Create a configuration directory to make managing individual server blocks easier
<pre>
mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d
</pre>
* Edit the main nginx config file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
</pre>
#* And strip down the config file and add the include statement at the end to make it easier to handle various server blocks:
<pre>
worker_processes 1;
error_log /var/log/nginx-error.log;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
# Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
</pre>
---
h1. Install PostgreSQL
* Start by installing the postgresql packages:
<pre>
pkg install postgresql12-{server,client} postgresql912-{server,client} php74-{pdo_pgsql,pgsql}
</pre>
* Enable, initialize and start PostgreSQL
<pre>
postgresql_enable=YES
service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start
</pre>
* Edit the pg_hba.conf file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
</pre>
#* And add the following to the end of the file to enable password authentication:
<pre>
host all all samehost md5
</pre>
h2. Create PostgreSQL Databases and Users
* Log in to postgresql user account
<pre>
su - pgsql
</pre>
* Connect to postgresql database
<pre>
psql -d template1
</pre>
#* Create a user and database for NextCloud:
<pre>
CREATE USER nextclouduser WITH PASSWORD 'SuperSecretPassword' CREATEDB;
CREATE DATABASE nextclouddb OWNER nextclouduser;
</pre>
* Quit postgresql and exit the user:
<pre>
\q
exit
</pre>

h1. Install Nextcloud
* Install nextcloud:
<pre>
pkg install nextcloud
</pre>
* Create an *nextcloud.example.com server block* config file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.example.com.conf
</pre>
#* Add the following:
<pre>
upstream nextcloud-handler {
server unix:/var/run/nextcloud.example.com-php-fpm.sock;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name nextcloud.example.com;
# Path to the root of your installation
root /usr/local/www/nextcloud/;
# set max upload size
client_max_body_size 10G;
fastcgi_buffers 64 4K;
# Disable gzip to avoid the removal of the ETag header
gzip off;

* Create the temporary session folder and restrict its permissions:
<pre>
mkdir -p /usr/local/www/nextcloud/tmp
chmod o-rwx /usr/local/www/nextcloud/tmp
</pre>
* Create the nextcloud php-fpm pool config file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/nextcloud.example.com.conf
</pre>
#* And add the following:
<pre>
[nextcloud.example.com]
user = nextcloud
group = www
listen = /var/run/nextcloud.example.com-php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = nextcloud
listen.group = www
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 5
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 3
php_admin_value[session.save_path] = "/usr/local/www/nextcloud/tmp"
</pre>
* Change the ownership of the nextcloud directory:
<pre>
chown -R nextcloud:www /usr/local/www/nextcloud
</pre>
* Restart nginx and start php-fpm:
<pre>
service nginx restart
service php-fpm start
</pre>

h1. Redis
* Install Redis and PHP extension:
<pre>
pkg install redis php74-pecl-redis
</pre>
* Create the directory which contains the socket
<pre>
mkdir -p /var/run/redis
chown redis:redis /var/run/redis
chmod 755 /var/run/redis
</pre>
* Edit the redis config:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
</pre>
#* And modify the following parameters in the config:
<pre>
port 0
unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 770
</pre>
* Add nextcloud user to redis group
<pre>
pw groupmod redis -m nextcloud
</pre>
* Start and enable Redis at boot:
<pre>
sysrc redis_enable=YES
service redis.start
</pre>
* Edit the NextCloud config:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/www/nextcloud/config/config.php
</pre>
#* And add the following *before* the ending @);@:
<pre>
'memcache.locking' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
'memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\Redis',
