I am having problems installing Nextcloud on a test system I'm running. Every time I attempt an installation, I get this error message:

I've looked elsewhere and other people seem to say it's a problem with php80 support, but I'm not sure how to fix that (if it is the problem). Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The plugin is outdated and deprecated, don't use it. Use @danb35's script instead.

Reason: PHP 8.0 is EOL and iX seemingly can't be bothered to maintain an official plugin.

Hey, I'm having the same problem, @KikkomanSoySauce I hope you don't mind me taking over your post a bit. Is there an easier way to get Nextcloud running than danb35's script? I'm a total beginner with basically any kind of software that doesn't rely on a GUI. I checked the step-by-step instructions for the script and understood a third of it at most...

If the mentioned script is the easiest way to install Nextcloud right now, can you recommend a suitable guide to bring me up to speed on how to properly use the shell? Right now for example I don't even know how to navigate directories, create files, etc. As far as I can tell I need that to prepare for running the script.

Thank you!

No.

In that case please reconsider running a service facing the public Internet on your own. Get some local help - "computer club", local Linux/BSD enthusiasts ...

Nextcloud requires updates at least once per month plus a major release update once per year all of which involves using the command line.

Kind regards,
Patrick

Or give SCALE a try. It is point and click for the most part.

Hi Patrick,

thanks for your concerns. Just in case I still want to try: Do you know a good comprehensive website/wiki/guide on how to get used to using the command prompt? Something with some exercises would be perfect, I have an old laptop to play around with. I'm usually a quick learner and just need a direction where to start ^^

Or give SCALE a try. It is point and click for the most part.
Judging from what I read so far SCALE sounds indeed a bit more beginner friendly. Maybe I'll try that if I don't succeed with my adventure on CORE.


Thanks guys!

Here's a "meta" presentation by Benedict Reuschling about teaching Unix using FreeBSD:

And then there's the FreeBSD handbook:

I don't know of any comprehensive beginners' guide that is up to date considering modern environments. I learned Unix almost 40 years ago. Of course S.R. Bourne's "The Unix System" is still a great textbook but these historic documents spend too much time on the absolute fundamentals of working in an environment when an 80x24 text terminal was the standard user interface.

A local user group would be my recommended way - if there is no "BSD" one, pick one labelled "Linux" - doesn't hurt, seriously. :wink:

HTH,
Patrick
