This script was prepared for a clean (minimal) installation of Linux systems such as:
Debian 11/12, Entepreise Linux 9, Ubuntu Server 22, Fedora Server 39 on AMD64 (x86_64) processor architecture.
It will update OS, install neeeded packages, and preconfigure everything to run Nextcloud.
There are Apache (web server), MariaDB (database server), PHP (programming language),
NTP (time synchronization service), and Redis (cache server) used.
Also new service for Nextcloud cron is generated that starts every 5 minutes.
A new user with administrative privileges will be added to the Nextcloud, you will find his credentials after the script runs (the password is randomly generated).
After install You may use Your web browser to access Nextcloud using local IP address.
Both HTTP and HTTPS protocols are enabled by default (localhost certificate is generated).
If you already have a domain you want to use then you can do so by adding it as an argument to the command that runs the script. Remember, however, that the domain must first be set to your server's IP address, and your network devices (routers) must already be properly configured. Otherwise, SSL certificate generation will fail.

To install use this command:
Or if You already got domain name configured:
All available script arguments (you may or may not need to add to the startup command):
-lang – support for multiple languages, currently available: Arabic (ar), Chinese (zh), French (fr), Hindi (hi), Polish (pl), Spanish (es) and Ukrainian (uk). An option left undefined will simply not add system packages and will not pre-configure Nextcloud (the default web browser language will be used).
-mail – the email address of the administrative account.
-dm – the domain you want to use, the script will configure the web server to make the domain point to Nextcloud, add it as a trusted address for NC itself, and configure the SSL (Let's encrypt) certificate service to make a secure httpS connection work. The domain must already be pre-configured i.e. pointing to the IP address where we are providing the service. The router should also already be pre-configured (that is, redirect traffic from outside to port 80 and 443 of the server on which Nextcloud is running).
-nv – the version of Nextcloud we want to use. Versions available are 24, 25, 26, and 27. Older versions have customized PHP installation and configuration to match the NC version. No option selected will install the latest version of the script for the moment.
Be sure to define arguments after the sum sign (=).
Example use of the script with all options:
It was tested with Nextcloud v24-V28.
