Set up NextCloud

Configurable ansible role for installing nextcloud. If a redis socket is given, we use that mysql/mariadb is used for the database. If you want to use php-fpm with your web-server you have to do it yourself. Some documentation on how to use the other geekoops scripts in conjunction with this role can be found here: https://www.florian-goth.de/node/23

• openSUSE Leap 15.4 -> tested

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - { role: geekoops-nextcloud, nc_db_pw: "1234bcd" }

An advanced example for the imaginary jellyfish test server

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - role: geekoops-nextcloud
       vars:
         nc_db_pw: "1234abcd"
         nc_redis_socket: "/var/run/redis/cloud.sock"

Stuff to do afterwards

• If you replayed a backup, you need to copy over plugins, data,...
• If you use SSL you can configure CAA for your domain.

issues

• login screen: After pressing login, you are immediatel back at the login screen: ensure tmp folder is accessible: proper right, nc config.php, AND php-fpm ENV variables. (see geekoops-php-fpm)
