Hi,
I’ve been running OwnCloud on CentOS 7 for a few years now, and I’m planning to upgrade to Rocky Linux 8, a binary clone of RHEL 8. I’m planning to install the “classic” OwnCloud server manually on a LAMP stack.
For the moment I have a minimal PHP 7.4 installation. On a side note, PHP 7.4 is the LTS version under Rocky Linux 8, with support until 2029:
# rpm -qa | grep php | sort
php-cli-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-common-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-fpm-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-json-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-mbstring-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-mysqlnd-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-pdo-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
php-xml-7.4.33-1.module+el8.8.0+1150+ac720675.x86_64
The official OwnCloud documentation goes into much detail for a lot of things, but curiously enough, there’s no list of required PHP modules for RHEL 8.x, even though RHEL 8 is listed as “officially supported”. This makes me feel like I have to be a part of some secret congregation to access this information.
But seriously: which PHP modules do I need to install on a RHEL 8 clone in order for OwnCloud to work ?
Thanks & cheers,
Niki
