NextCloud§
To run the NextCloud share and collaboration platform using Unit:
Install Unit with a PHP language module.
Install and configure NextCloud’s prerequisites.
Install NextCloud’s core files. Here, we install it at
/path/to/app/
; use a real path in your configuration.Note
Verify the resulting settings in
/path/to/app/config/config.php
; in particular, check the trusted domains to ensure the installation is accessible within your network:'trusted_domains' => array ( 0 => 'localhost', 1 => '*.example.com', ),
Run the following command so Unit can access the application directory:
# chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/
Note
The
unit:unit
user-group pair is available only with official packages, Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.
Next, put together the NextCloud configuration for Unit (use real values for
share
androot
). The following is based on NextCloud’s own guide:{ "listeners": { "*:80": { "pass": "routes" } }, "routes": [ { "match": { "uri": [ "/build/*", "/tests/*", "/config/*", "/lib/*", "/3rdparty/*", "/templates/*", "/data/*", "/.*", "/autotest*", "/occ*", "/issue*", "/indie*", "/db_*", "/console*" ] }, "action": { "return": 404 } }, { "match": { "uri": [ "/core/ajax/update.php*", "/cron.php*", "/index.php*", "/ocm-provider*.php*", "/ocs-provider*.php*", "/ocs/v1.php*", "/ocs/v2.php*", "/public.php*", "/remote.php*", "/status.php*", "/updater*.php*" ] }, "action": { "pass": "applications/nextcloud/direct" } }, { "match": { "uri": "/ocm-provider*" }, "action": { "pass": "applications/nextcloud/ocm" } }, { "match": { "uri": "/ocs-provider*" }, "action": { "pass": "applications/nextcloud/ocs" } }, { "match": { "uri": "/updater*" }, "action": { "pass": "applications/nextcloud/updater" } }, { "action": { "share": "/path/to/app$uri", "fallback": { "pass": "applications/nextcloud/index" } } } ], "applications": { "nextcloud": { "type": "php", "targets": { "direct": { "root": "/path/to/app/" }, "index": { "root": "/path/to/app/", "script": "script": "index.php" }, "ocm": { "root": "/path/to/app/ocm-provider/", "script": "script": "index.php" }, "ocs": { "root": "/path/to/app/ocs-provider/", "script": "script": "index.php" }, "updater": { "root": "/path/to/app/nextcloud/updater/", "script": "script": "index.php" } } } } }
Note
The difference between the
pass
targets is their usage of thescript
setting:- The
direct
target runs the.php
script from the URI or defaults toindex.php
if the URI omits it. - Other targets specify the
script
that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives.
- The
Upload the updated configuration. Assuming the JSON above was added to
config.json
:# curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \ /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/
Note
The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and Shutdown for details.
Adjust Unit’s
max_body_size
option to avoid potential issues with large file uploads, for example:# curl -X PUT -d '{"http":{"max_body_size": 2147483648}}' --unix-socket \ /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/settings
After a successful update, browse to http://localhost and set up your NextCloud installation:
