Deploy Nextcloud on TurboStack

Nextcloud is a self-hosted platform for file sync, sharing, and collaboration. TurboStack provisions the runtime and services, can auto-install Nextcloud, and handles large upload limits without extra configuration.

Requirements

Configure it

1. Open your host and go to the Applications tab.
2. Select Add app or database and set App Type to nextcloud.
3. Choose PHP 8.4 as the runtime and set the server name for your cloud.
4. Enable a database (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and enable Redis.
5. Publish the host to apply the configuration.

Example configuration

webserver: nginx
mysql_version: "8.4"          # or: postgresql_version: "17"
redis_enabled: true           # REQUIRED: transactional file locking + cache
system_users:
  - username: prod
    vhosts:
      - server_name: cloud.example.com
        app_type: nextcloud
        php_version: "8.4"
        cert_type: letsencrypt

Why these choices

• app_type: nextcloud applies the Nextcloud runtime profile and can auto-install the application.
• Redis is mandatory for transactional file locking and caching under concurrent use.
• MySQL 8.4 is a solid default; postgresql_version is a fully supported alternative.
• Nginx (or apache2) plus PHP 8.4 matches Nextcloud's recommended stack and large upload handling.
• Let's Encrypt provides automatic Transport Layer Security (TLS) for the cloud hostname.
