Finally, I’ll now cover the installation of Nextcloud on Ubuntu! At this point, is expected that you already had: Choose a VPS provider and concluded the initial setup of your Ubuntu server; Installed Nginx; Installed PostgreSQL; Installed PHP 7.4.

I’m currently using Ubuntu 20.04, but these instructions are equally valid for other Ubuntu versions. Read the tutorial...

I’m not reinventing the wheel here, these are just the result of the sum of tutorials and lessons I keep learning. On this post I will cover the use of SSH to connect to a server, the creation of a new user with administrative privileges and the setup of a firewall. I’m currently using Ubuntu 20.04, but these instructions are equally valid for other Ubuntu versions. Read the tutorial...
