DigitalOcean example: https://youtu.be/LlqY5Y6P9Oc
- A clean Ubuntu Server 16.04.X
- OpenSSH (preferred)
- 20 GB HDD
- At least 1 vCPU and 2 GB RAM (4 GB minimum if you are running OnlyOffice)
- A working internet connection (the script needs it to download files and variables)
- Thick provisioned (better performance and easier to maintain)
- DHCP available
- Get the latest install script from master:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/vm/master/nextcloud_install_production.sh
- Run the script with:
sudo bash nextcloud_install_production.sh
- When the VM is installed it will automatically reboot. Remember to login with the user you created:
ssh <user>@IP-ADDRESS
If it automatically runs as root when you reboot the machine, you have to abort it by pressingCTRL+C
and run the script as the user you just created:
sudo -u <user> sudo bash /var/scripts/nextcloud-startup-script.sh
- Please note that the installation/setup is not finnished by just running the
nextcloud_install_production.sh
When you login with the (new) sudo user you ran the script with in step 2 you will automatically be presented with the setup script.

Great news! We have forked this repository and created a Raspberry Pi image that you can download from here: https://github.com/techandme/NextBerry or here https://www.techandme.se/nextberry-rpi/.
We call it NextBerry and it's confirmed to be working on Raspberry Pi 2 & 3.
Keep asking questions so that we can add them here.
Q: Where can i dowload VMware Player?
A: You can download the latest release here.

Q: I get NETWORK NOT OK when booting the VM. How do I solve that?
A: There are a few causes to this error, most of them are your own network or firewall settings.
- Remove the VM NIC adapter in settings on VMware/Virtualbox and then re-adding a NIC adapter.
- Check your firewall so that it doesn't block this specific IP
- Check your router/firewall that you have DHCP enabled.
Q: I get a message that I'm not root, but I am.
A: Please see here: nextcloud#200
Q: Which Hyper-V generation should we chose when creating a machine to load this image?
A: You currently need to use a 1st generation machine.
Q: Do you have a pre-configured Hyper-V VM?
A: Yes we have, you can download it here: https://shop.techandme.se/index.php/product/nextcloud-vm-microsoft-hyper-v-vhd/
Q: I want a bigger version of this VM, where can I find that?
A: You can download it here: https://shop.techandme.se/index.php/product/nextcloud-vm-500gb/

A: Just submit your report here: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm/issues/new
Q: How to update Nextcloud VM?
A: You can not use the built in updater in Nextcloud GUI due to secure permissions on this VM. Use the built in script instead:

Q: How to install apps if not selected during first install?
