Install Cache-Enhanced Nextcloud Cloud Storage on the Ubuntu Linux Server

At a time when more and more people and businesses are having to shift the way they work, the on-premises collaboration-friendly Nextcloud “cloud” storage service provides an easy to use, reliable, and extensible (with hundreds of available apps to install) option. The latest release of Nextcloud, 20, includes some important changes, two of which are the new Dashboard — for a quick overview of what’s happening on your Nextcloud instance — and Talk integrations, so you can bridge your local chat tool with services like IRC, Slack, MS Teams, and more.

Log into your Ubuntu Server instance and take care of the web server and database with the command: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server -y

Once the file is decompressed, relocate it to the web server document root with the command: sudo mv nextcloud /var/www/html/

And that’s how you install Nextcloud 20 on Ubuntu Server 20.04 and give it a bit of a performance bump with caching.
