Hi, i'm planning to install Nextcloud on an Ubuntu 20.04 with Apache. But the recommendations from Nextcloud to configure Apache don't appeal to me.
1. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#installation-wizard The recommendation is to change the owner of the DocumentRoot of the Nextcloud installation to www-data, the user the apache2 process is running. "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud/" This is weird, isn't it ? I remember http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/misc/security_tips.html "Permissions on ServerRoot Directories" which is contradictory to that. 2. The second recommendation is even stranger: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#pretty-urls "mod_env and mod_rewrite must be installed on your webserver and the .htaccess must be writable by the HTTP user. Then you can set in the config.php two variables:" .htaccess writeable by the HTTP User !?! I'm no Webserver expert, but i get pain in my stomach reading this. What do you think ? Has anyone experience in installing nextcloud ? Would it be a good idea to install nextcloud via snap, which seems to be more secure ?
