How to install owncloud server into LEDE and overcome dynamic IP for remote access?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Recently I installed LEDE 17.01.2 on a TP-LINK Archer C7 1750 v2.0 router.

I want to set up an ownCloud server on that router. I found this site useful, but since it was written for OpenWRT, I am not sure if the provided solution still works for LEDE. Does it work? In the same site there is a link to another one which explains how to install onwCloud using only three steps. But one of the steps is a command for downloading a script that is no longer available. Is there another link to this script?

Finally, the last question. I want to access ownCloud server remotely, but my home IP is dynamic. How can I overcome this problem? I mean, is there any detailed answer?

owncloud works and is easy to setup using lighttpd but nextcloud is not working for dynamic ip use a ddns supported provider, you can find a module in luci for it

in lighttpd just enable php7-fpm and have these php7 packages installed

php7 7.1.9
php7-cgi php7-cli php7-fastcgi php7-fpm php7-mod-calendar php7-mod-ctype php7-mod-curl php7-mod-dom php7-mod-exif
php7-mod-fileinfo php7-mod-gd php7-mod-gettext php7-mod-gmp php7-mod-hash php7-mod-iconv php7-mod-intl php7-mod-json
php7-mod-mbstring php7-mod-mcrypt php7-mod-openssl php7-mod-pcntl php7-mod-pdo php7-mod-pdo-mysql php7-mod-pdo-sqlite
php7-mod-session php7-mod-shmop php7-mod-simplexml php7-mod-sockets php7-mod-sqlite3 php7-mod-sysvsem php7-mod-tokenizer
php7-mod-xml php7-mod-xmlreader php7-mod-xmlwriter php7-mod-zip

Thank you, Lucize! But I am completely new to LEDE, ownCloud, web servers etc. Is there any step-by-step page/documentation that could help me performing these installations and setup?

firstoff https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/luci.on.lighttpd but it needs to be run as root so better have lighttpd/uhttpd run on other port

opkg update
opkg install lighttpd-mod-fastcgi

edit /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/30-fastcgi.conf
find at the end the host and port entry, edit it like

fastcgi.server = (
  ".php" => ((
    "host" => "127.0.0.1",
    "port" => "9000",
#    "docroot" => "/srv/www/servers/www.example.org/htdocs/"
  )))

execute
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

opkg install all the php7 mod I wrote earlyer
edit /etc/php7-fpm.d/www.conf

user= http
group = www-data
;listen = /var/run/php7-fpm.sock
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000

execute
/etc/init.d/php7-fpm restart

you can create a php info file to confirm lighttpd + php7-fpm is working
info.php:

<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>

make sure owncloud folder has owner:group http:www-data
chown -R http:www-data /www/owncloud

first thank you for your help, I executed the recommendations on the official openwrt site: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/webserver/http.apache#test_php
also from the owncloud site, and I got this result:
