To run the NextCloud share and collaboration platform using Unit:

Install [Unit]({{< relref "/unit/installation.md#installation-precomp-pkgs" >}}) with a PHP language module.
Install and configure NextCloud's prerequisites
Install NextCloud's core files. Here we install them at /path/to/app; use a real path in your configuration.

{{< call-out "note" >}} Verify the resulting settings in /path/to/app/config/config.php; in particular, check the trusted domains to ensure the installation is accessible within your network:
```
'trusted_domains' =>
array (
  0 => 'localhost',
  1 => '*.example.com',
),
```
{{< /call-out >}}
Change ownership:

{{< include "unit/howto_change_ownership.md" >}}

Next, [put together]({{< relref "/unit/configuration.md#configuration-php" >}}) the NextCloud configuration for Unit (use real values for share and root). The following is based on NextCloud's own guide:

{{< call-out "note" >}} The difference between the pass targets is their usage of the script [setting]({{< relref "/unit/configuration.md#configuration-php" >}}):

The direct target runs the .php script from the URI or defaults to index.php if the URI omits it.
Other targets specify the script that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives. {{< /call-out >}}

Upload the updated configuration.

{{< include "unit/howto_upload_config.md" >}}
Adjust Unit's max_body_size [option]({{< relref "/unit/configuration.md#configuration-stngs" >}}).to avoid potential issues with large file uploads, for example, runnig the following command as root:

# curl -X PUT -d '{"http":{"max_body_size": 2147483648}}' --unix-socket \
    /path/to/control.unit.sock  # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation
    http://localhost/config/settings  # Path to the 'config/settings' section in Unit's control API

After a successful update, browse to http://localhost and set up your NextCloud installation:
