- how to install/configure webservers other than Apache2 (for example Nginx)
- how to use NextCloud
It is assumed that you are already familiar with the basics of Linux command line terminal commands. But this tutorial is made so that you can copy paste the commands to your terminal.
Versions used in this tutorial:

- Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial)
- PostgreSQL (version: 9.5.2)
- Apache 2 (version: 2.4.18)
- Php (version 7.0)
Depending on the versions you use, the commands and/or the path shown in this tutorial might be different.
All commands in this tutorial are made as root. You must be root or be able to use "sudo" command to install and configure Icinga.
The version of Icinga used (version 2) is referred sometimes as “Icinga” or “Icinga 2” accross the tutorial.
