Nextcloud, the open source file sync & share and content collaboration platform, preinstalled for AWS with nginx, PHP 8.3, MariaDB and Redis. Per instance administrator and database credentials are generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
## Nextcloud by cloudimg
Nextcloud is the popular open source content collaboration platform: file sync and share, calendar, contacts, document collaboration and a rich app ecosystem, a private self-hosted alternative to public cloud drives. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Nextcloud fully installed and configured, so a complete collaboration platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Nextcloud 33.
## Application Stack
The image runs Nextcloud on PHP 8.3 with OPcache and APCu, served by nginx with php-fpm. MariaDB provides the database and Redis provides distributed caching and file locking. Nextcloud's background jobs run every five minutes through a systemd timer in cron mode.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh MariaDB password and a fresh Nextcloud administrator password, unique to that instance, and writes them to a root only file. The instance's own address is added to Nextcloud's trusted domains automatically. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
The Nextcloud code tree, web server, database and cache are all configured, with user data on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, and start adding users, installing apps and syncing files across desktop and mobile clients.
