Notes from installing Nextcloud on Ubuntu 22.04LTS

Today I set up another Nextcloud server after taking the former one offline due to the size of backups for it getting a little out of hand. This also allows me to run the latest current version of Ubuntu Server (22.04LTS).

Here’s the guide I followed with a fresh install of Ubuntu:

Following this, I ran into a number of issues here:

Downgrading to PHP 7.4:

apt install php7.4-mysql php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml php7.4-curl php7.4-gd

Select 7.4 from list:

update-alternatives –config php

Set version:

sudo a2dismod php8.1
sudo a2enmod php7.4
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Install missing php packages:

apt install -y apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.4 \
php7.4-gd php7.4-json php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl \
php7.4-intl php7.4-mcrypt php-imagick \
php7.4-zip php7.4-xml php7.4-mbstring

sudo systemctl restart apache2
