NextCloud/Installation

This guide was written for the custom installation of NextCloud on a FreeNAS Jail. This guide assumes:

You have not set up a jail

You have already set up a Cloud volume under Storage

You have Jails configured

Setting Up Jail

Create Dataset

Within FreeNAS Userspace:

Storage > Create ZFS Dataset

• Dataset Name = files
• Compression level = lz4
• Enable atime = Off
• All other options default
• Dataset Name = db
• Compression level = zle
• Enable atime = Off
• Record Size = 16K (Under Advanced Mode)
• All other options default

Create Jail

Jails > Add Jail

• Jail Name: nextcloud
• Template: "------"
• IPv4 Address: 10.130.12.191
• IPv4 Subnet: 255.255.248.0
• Leave all else default
• Ensure VIMAGE is checked

Add Storage

• Jail: nextcloud
• Source = /mnt/tank/files
• Destination = /mnt/files

• Jail: nextcloud
• Source = /mnt/tank/db
• Destination = /var/db/mysql

Setting primary cache

In FreeNAS UserSpace Shell

zfs set primarycache=metadata SETV_Cloud/db

Configure Jail for First Use

We need to set up the jail to be able to SSH in and make faster adjustments.

Enter the Jail's shell from within FreeNAS

pkg upgrade

If it asks any questions, select Y and continue.

Enable SSH

$ cd /etc/ssh
$ vi sshd_config

Personally I despise vi, but this is the quickest method.

Scroll down using the DOWN arrow key until you find #PermitRootLogin no line.

With the cursor on the # hit x this will delete the hash now use the RIGHT arrow key to select the space before 'no'

Hit i type yes

Hit esc

Select the n in 'no' and hit x twice to delete 'no' so the line reads PermitRootLogin yes 

type :wq

Hit ENTER

The file is now saved

Now enable and start SSH

$ sysrc sshd_enable=yes
$ service ssh start

Change Jail Root PW

We need to reset the jails root password; type this command, and follow the prompts

$ passwd

Now close the shell within FreeNAS, and use PuTTY to SSH to the jail.

F.A.M.P Installation

In this section we are going to install F.A.M.P, an iteration of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

• FreeBSD 10.1
• Apache 2.4
• MariaDB 10.1
• PHP 7.0

This provides the basics for our webserving jail.

Before we get started, let's add a few necessary packages

$ pkg install nano wget sudo
$ vi sshd_config

We will install each part of FAMP one-by-one. FreeBSD is the Operating system so check!

Apache 2.4

Install

$ pkg install apache24

Setup in rc.conf

$ sysrc apache24_enable=yes

Start Apache

$ service apache24 start

Check that it works

Navigate to http://10.130.12.191 and you should see the text "It Works!"

MariaDB 10.1

Install

MySQL Secure Setup

$ pkg install mariadb101-server

Setup in rc.conf

$ sysrc mysql_enable=yes

Run Wizard Script

$ mysql_secure_installation

Read and follow prompts. There is no root password set, and answer Y to all the following questions.

Login to MySQL, create Nextcloud DB and User

$ mysql -u root -p

enter password you made for root during setup.

Enter each of these commands one-by-one, and make sure to include the semi-colon ;

CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;

CREATE USER 'nextcloud_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MAKEUP-YOUR-OWN-PASSWORD';

GRANT ALL ON nextcloud.* TO 'nextcloud_admin'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

exit

Replace MAKEUP-YOUR-OWN-PASSWORD with a password of your choosing. You need this for the NextCloud setup.

PHP 7.0

Install PHP and associated modules

pkg install redis php70-bz2 php70-ctype php70-curl php70-dom php70-exif php70-fileinfo php70-filter php70-gd php70-hash php70-iconv php70-intl php70-json php70-mbstring php70-mcrypt php70-pdo_mysql php70-openssl php70-posix php70-session php70-simplexml php70-xml php70-xmlreader php70-xmlwriter php70-xsl php70-wddx php70-zip php70-zlib php70-APCu php70-redis

sysrc 'mysql_enable=YES' 'redis_enable=YES'

Configuring Apache for PHP7

Ensure that the rewrite and ssl modules are enabled (uncommented) in /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf.

CREATE DATABASE nextcloud;
$ cd /usr/local/etc/apache24/
$ nano httpd.conf

Search the conf file for "ssl_module"

ctrl+w
ssl_module
ENTER

Uncomment (delete the # at the start of the line) so it looks like this:

LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache24/mod_ssl.so

Repeat for

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so

Remove php5 add php7:

• Find & Remove this >> LoadModule php5_module  libexec/apache24/libphp5.so
• Replace with >> LoadModule php7_module  libexec/apache24/libphp7.so

Right after libphp7.so line add

<IfModule php5_module>
   <FilesMatch "\.(php|phps|php5|phtml)$">
       SetHandler php5-script
   </FilesMatch>
   DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>

Then FIND <IFModule mime_module>

Insert Right After:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php        .php

Add a PHP handler to /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d

# touch /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d/001_mod_php.conf

# nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d/001_mod_php.conf

   <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
    <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    </FilesMatch>
 </IfModule>
service apache24 restart

Once you're done with httpd.conf save and close CTRL+x, Y, ENTER

Configure PHP.INI

$ nano /usr/local/etc/php.ini

find cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 change from =0 to =1

find date.timezone = Change to your timezone (America/New_York)

find post_max_size= change it to 1999M

find upload_max_size= change to 1999M

CTRL+X, Y, ENTER

Restart Apache

$ service apache24 restart

Testing with PHPINFO()

Navigate to /usr/local/www/apache24/data/

$ touch info.php
$ nano info.php

Paste:

<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>

Save & Exit

Navigate to http://10.130.12.191/info.php

You should see a full page with all the information regarding your PHP installation.

Configure REDIS

Update /usr/local/etc/redis.conf to run on local socket

Find port= and change it to 0

Find and replace:

unixsocket /tmp/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 750

$ sysrc redis_enable=yes

$ service redis start

Run  ls -al /tmp to run on local socket, you should see redis.sock and mysql.sock in the list.

If you see those two, you're ALMOST DONE!!
