(how) is owncloud install possible on a server, where already wordpress and php8 are on?

Dear all,

i have a rented headless server with latest Debian, Apache, lets encrypt, Wordpress and PHP 8+, all fine.

the wordpress install is reachable under https://mydomain/wordpress (installed in a subdirectory) - and works fine.

Since Owncloud needs Php 7.4, is there a way (and if so - how) to install it on the same server and shows up as https://mydomain/owncloud (also installed in a subdirectory) ?

Your best approach would be to install Owncloud on your server using a Docker container. That way, you avoid any PHP version conflicts. Plus, if you have to change anything on your existing installation, you’ll be certain that OwnCloud won’t be affected by it.

Once your OwnCloud container is installed, you can add a directive in Apache to reverse proxy call from https://mydomain/owncloud to your OwnCloud container.
