cdist-type__nextcloud(7)
========================
NAME
----
cdist-type__nextcloud - Installs and manages a nextcloud instance
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This type installs, upgrades and configure a nextcloud instance.
It installs the application in the webspace based on the object id as relative
path from the webroot. If you want to install it directly in the webroot, you
must trick out this type by setting the webroot as parent directory.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
version
The version that should be installed. If it is already installed and the
installed version lower, it will upgrade nextcloud if ``--install-only`` is
not set.
The type will never downgrade a nextcloud instance. Rather, it will fail,
as this is a missconfiguration. Downgrades are not recommended and
supported by upstream. Such cases can happen if the nextcloud instance was
upgraded via the built-in nextcloud installer. In such cases, it is
recommended to use the ``--install-only`` option.
admin-password
The administrator password to access the nextcloud instance. Must be given
in plain text.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
webroot
The webroot which will be used as basis for the installation. This may be
already detected by an explorer. Must be an absolute path (starting with a
slash).
mode
Sets the unix file mode of the nextcloud directory. This is not inherited
to child files or folders. Defaults to `755`.
user
The user which owns the complete nextcloud directory. The php application
should be executed with this user. All nextcloud commands will be executed
with this user. This type will not create the unix user.
The type assumes the default `www-data` user, which is common on Debian
systems. **If you change this option, please do the same with the group
parameter!**
group
The group all files and folders of the nextcloud installation should have.
Defaults to `www-data`. Should be changed with ``--user``.
BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
install-only
Skips all nextcloud upgrades done by this type. Should be used when
nextcloud upgrades are (*exclusively*) done via the built-in updater.
NEXTCLOUD CONFIG PARAMETERS
---------------------------
host
All hostnames where the the users can log into nextcloud. If you access
nextcloud via a hostname not given to this list, the access fails. This
parameter can be set multiple times.
admin-user
The username of the administrative user which will be created while the
installation. This parameter has no effect if nextcloud will not be
installed.
admin-email
The email address of the administrative user. This parameter has no effect
if nextcloud will not be installed.
database-type
Sets the type of database that should be used as backend. Possible backends
are:
SQLite
Use ``sqlite`` or ``sqlite3``. Saves everything in a database file
stored in the data directory. It is only recommended for very small
installations or test environments from upstream.
*All further database options are ignored if SQLite is selected as
database backend.*
MariaDB
Use ``mysql`` or ``mariadb``. MariaDB and MySQL are threated the same
way. They are the recommended database backends recommended from
upstream.
PostgreSQL
Use ``pgsql``, ``postgres`` or ``postgresql``.
**This parameter defaults to the SQLite database backend, as it is the
simplest one to setup and do not require extra parameters.**
database-host
The database host to connect to. Possible are hostnames, ip addresses or
UNIX sockets. UNIX sockets must set in the format of
``localhost:/path/to/socket``. If an non-standard port is used, set it
after the hostname or ip address seperated by an colon (``:``).
database-name
The name of the database to connect to.
database-user
The username to access the database.
database-password
The password required to authorize the given user.
database-prefix
The table prefix used by nextcloud. If nothing set, it defaults to
``oc_``.
WEBROOT DETECTION
-----------------
TBA.
MESSAGES
--------
installed
Nextcloud was successfully installed.
upgraded $old to $new
The nextcloud version was upgraded from `$old` to `$new`.
configured
Nextcloud configuration was changed.
ABORTS
------
Aborts in the following cases:
The current installed version is greather than the version that should be
installed. See the parameter description of `--version` for detailed
information. The problem can be fixed by bumping the version value to at least
the version that is currently installed or use the parameter `--install-only`.
The type aborts if there is no webroot given as parameter and no could be
detected by the type itself. Please set the webroot via `--webroot` or extend
this type.
