Installation of FileCloud on Linux Using the Repository

Beginning in FileCloud 22.1, Linux installation and upgrades are moving to a new repository system. 

The OS’s we currently support are: 
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (FileCloud EOL 23.1) 

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS  

CentOS 7.x 

RHEL 7.x 

RHEL 8.x 

Note: FileCloud no longer supports Debian installation and upgrade; we recommend installing in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or migrating your existing installation to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Important:

If the Linux server is not in a isolated environment where regular users are prevented from using SSH login, we recommend enabling authentication for the MongoDB service to prevent unauthorized access through port forwarding.

For FileCloud to be fully functional, specific versions of packages must be installed on Linux Distros. 
In some cases, customers have updated packages using the apt upgrade command, and when older versions of packages were removed and updated, FileCloud was no longer fully functional.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you make a backup or snapshot of the server before performing a Linux package update.
