Preface

  • Ephemeral Drive
    • Locked Code
    • S3
  • Databases
    • PostgreSQL

Prerequisites

You are going to need the following Services and Software before getting started with your NextCloud installation on Heroku. 

Be sure you have accounts setup for the following Services listed below. 
Also, be sure you have installed the following Software listed below.

Services

Software

sudo snap install heroku --classic

Setup Heroku

Login to Heroku CLI (Ubuntu)

heroku login

Create App

  • This needs to be created after git. IT will automatically create the remote links needed in Git
heroku create

Heroku will return a sample app and location. Use this for the rest of the install. 

Creating app... done, ⬢ infinite-lowlands-38883

Heroku Add-ons

  • Heroku Postgres

Install NextCloud - Phase 1

Download & Extract NextCloud

Download the version of nextcloud 

wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-15.0.8.zip

Unzip nextcloud-x.x.x.zip to it's own folder 

unzip nextcloud-15.0.8.zip

Create a new folder `nextcloud-x.x.x` 

mkdir nextcloud-15.0.8

Move folder `nextcloud` into `nextcloud-x.x.x` and label it `server` 

mv nextcloud nextcloud-15.0.8/server

Initialize Git

cd nextcloud-15.0.8
git init
git config user.name "Eric Wanchic"
git config user.email "ewanchic@elifestream.com"

cat > .gitignore

Copy & Paste the following to the file: 

/vendor/
.env

Ctrl+D 

git add .
git commit -m "Initial NextCloud 15.0.8"

Setup Composer

cat > composer.json

Copy & Paste the following to the file: 

{
  "require" : {
    "php": "7.2.19",
    "ext-mbstring": "*",
    "ext-gd": "*",
    "ext-intl" : "*",
    "ext-imagick": "*",
    "ext-memcached": "*",
    "ext-pcntl": "*",
    "ext-apcu": "*"
  },
  "require-dev": {
    "php": "7.2.19",
    "ext-mbstring": "*",
    "ext-gd": "*",
    "ext-intl" : "*",

composer update

Commit code to repo 

git add .
git commit -m "Adding composer files."

Setup PHP FPM file

cat > fpm_custom.conf

Copy & Paste the following to the file: 

php_value[upload_max_filesize] = 300M
php_value[post_max_size] = 200M
php_value[memory_limit] = 128M
php_value[mbstring.func_overload] = 0

git commit -m "Adding Procfile."

Install PostgreSQL Add on

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev --app infinite-lowlands-38883

DB is created. You'll have to log in to get further details. 

Creating heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev on ⬢ infinite-lowlands-38883... free
Database has been created and is available
 ! This database is empty. If upgrading, you can transfer
 ! data from another database with pg:copy

Install NextCloud - Phase 2

Pushing Code to Heroku

git push heroku master

Do not setup the app just yet.

SSH into App

Need to SSH into Heroku after app starts. 

heroku ps:exec --app infinite-lowlands-38883

Running this command for the first time requires a dyno restart.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]: y

Get the current Config

cd server/config
cat config.php

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oczm2c0yitlu',
);

Create a config

cat > config.php
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oczm2c0yitlu',
);

Ctrl+D 

git add .
git commit -m "Initializing config.php"

Install NextCloud - Phase 3

Run the Setup

  1. Running the setup, Add username, password, and PostgreSQL information.
  2. Setup will Fail. Error: The username is already being used

Get new config file

  1. Log into Heroku again
heroku ps:exec --app infinite-lowlands-38883
Establishing credentials... done
Connecting to web.1 on ⬢ infinite-lowlands-38883...
  1. Output config file:
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oci1sj5gwidj',
  'passwordsalt' => '2YHY53pJ19z1sQH8VLlyxQnJ+G7X/n',
  'secret' => 'UWNfUzFSNDmqTLNwhtsY3FEvg8PfDND8mUfcKmBV78UQweAS',
  'trusted_domains' => 

  array (
    0 => 'infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => '/app/server/data',
  'dbtype' => 'pgsql',
  'version' => '15.0.8.1',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  'dbname' => 'd8saj3o99k4kf6',
  'dbhost' => 'ec2-54-225-72-238.compute-1.amazonaws.com',
  'dbport' => ,
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => 'tvsinoicrvngaq',
  'dbpassword' => 'cb6e7c80e137f4dd06011f1319e1537e81066c66ec9a527fc75980b87d71de82',
);

This step not only establishes the database and site credentials (which we could have added manually), but it sets up the: username & password, password salt, and secretkey which all are encoded into the database.

We are going to need to save these values and enter them into Heroku's Config Vars.

Now we need to modify the config.php to accept environment variables: 

<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oci1sj5gwidj',
  'passwordsalt' => getenv('PASSWORD_SALT'),
  'secret' => getenv('SECRET'),
  'trusted_domains' => 

  array (
    0 => 'infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => getenv('DATA_DIRECTORY'),
  'dbtype' => 'pgsql',
  'version' => '15.0.8.1',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  'dbname' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
  'dbhost' => getenv('DB_HOST'),
  'dbport' => ,
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => getenv('DB_USER'),
  'dbpassword' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
);


Go ahead and update the config.php on your local git repo to match this. Save and commit. 

git add .
git commit -m "Updated config.php. Includes DB credentials, trusted site credentials, passwordsalt & secretkey. All important values are being replaced by Environment Variables."

Install NextCloud - Phase 4 (S3 Bucket)

  1. Configure config.php file
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
  'instanceid' => 'oci1sj5gwidj',
  'objectstore' =>
  array (
    'class' => '\\OC\\Files\\ObjectStore\\S3',
    'arguments' =>
    array (
      'bucket' => getenv('S3_BUCKET'),
      'autocreate' => true,
      'key' => getenv('S3_KEY'),
      'secret' => getenv('S3_SECRET'),
      'use_ssl' => true,
      'region' => getenv('S3_REGION'),
      'use_path_style' => false,
    ),
  ),

  'secret' => getenv('SECRET'),
  'trusted_domains' => 

  array (
    0 => 'infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  ),
  'datadirectory' => getenv('DATA_DIRECTORY'),
  'dbtype' => 'pgsql',
  'version' => '15.0.8.1',
  'overwrite.cli.url' => 'http://infinite-lowlands-38883.herokuapp.com',
  'dbname' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
  'dbhost' => getenv('DB_HOST'),
  'dbport' => ,
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => getenv('DB_USER'),
  'dbpassword' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
);

Go ahead and update the config.php on your local git repo to match this. Save and commit.
