Roll Your Own Nextcloud Server

This is a rollyourown project to deploy a Nextcloud server using Ansible, Packer and Terraform.

Project Summary

This project uses Ansible, Packer and Terraform to deploy a Nextcloud server, with a MariaDB backend database, HAProxy for TLS/SSL termination and Certbot for managing your Let's Encrypt certificate.

How to Use

A detailed description of how to use a rollyourown project to deploy and maintain an open source solution can be found on the rollyourown website.

In summary, to deploy a project:

1. Acquire a domain to use for your project, or re-use a domain you already own

2. Prepare a control node with the basic software to run the rollyourown automation scripts, or use an existing control node you have previously set up

3. Prepare a host server for deploying the project to, or use an existing host server you have previously set up

4. Enter the working directory (e.g. ~/ryo-projects) on the control node and clone the project repository from Codeberg or GitHub

    cd ~/ryo-projects
    git clone https://codeberg.org/rollyourown-xyz/ryo-nextcloud.git
   

   or

    cd ~/ryo-projects
    git clone https://github.com/rollyourown-xyz/ryo-nextcloud.git
   

5. Copy the project's configuration file and add settings

    cd ~/ryo-projects/ryo-nextcloud
    cp configuration/configuration_TEMPLATE.yml configuration/configuration_<HOST_NAME>.yml
    nano configuration/configuration_<HOST_NAME>.yml
   

6. Run the deployment script from the project directory

    cd ~/ryo-projects/ryo-nextcloud
    ./deploy.sh -n <HOST_NAME> -v <VERSION>
