Nextcloud Server Quick Start for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install and Getting-Started with Nextcloud Server 11.x on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus LTS GNU/Linux.
The Nextcloud Server Installation on Ubuntu Require a Web Server with PHP, some PHP Modules and a Database like MySQL/MariaDB.
Then you can share one or more files and folders on your computer, and synchronize them with your Nextcloud Server.
