Run Nextcloud Locally with FlyEnv

Nextcloud deployments commonly use PHP, a database, a web server, and optional Redis. FlyEnv helps keep those local collaboration services coordinated around the Nextcloud project.

About Nextcloud

Nextcloud is a self-hosted platform for file sharing and collaboration.

Project resources

For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official Nextcloud documentation.

Typical local stack

The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.

PHP
MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL
Redis
Nginx / Apache / Caddy

Component	Typical role
PHP	Runs the Nextcloud server.
MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL	Stores file and application metadata.
Redis	May support caching and locking.
Nginx / Apache / Caddy	Serves the local collaboration site.
