Nextcloud survival instructions

This does not concern you, go away, unless this actually concerns you.

General

• Install NextCloud desktop. Figure it out yourself, if it’s not mentioned here.

flatpak

sudo flatpak install flathub com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud --assumeyes
sudo flatpak override com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud --filesystem=~/Nextcloud:create

Sysadmin

Go away. This is likely highly specific to an undisclosed theoretical location. Maybe look into official documentation instead?

There is an environment variable NC_debug for which NextCloud keeps telling you to sudo --preserve-env aka -E. I disagree, sudo is fully capable of Defaults env_keep += "NC_debug" with potentially less unforeseen consequences.

# Everything is expected to be ran in the NextCloud / ownCloud Console
# directory, which in this case means
cd /var/www/html
