TLDR: I consistently fail to set up Nextcloud on Docker. Halp pls?
Hi all - please help out a fellow self-hoster, if you have experience with Nextcloud. I have tried several approaches but I fail at various steps. Rather than describe my woes, I hope that I could get a “known good” configuration from the community?
What I have:
- a homelab server and a NAS, wired to a dedicated switch using priority ports.
- the server is running Linux, Docker, and NPM proxy which takes care of domains and SSL certs.
What I want:
- a
docker-compose.ymlthat sets up Nextcloud without SSL. Just that. - ideally but optionally, the compose file might include Nextcloud office-components and other neat additions that you have found useful.
Your comments, ideas, and other input will be much appreciated!!
Nextcloud is very easy to setup as a container. You just need a MySQL/MariaDB server and a volume mount. Just make sure the volume is owned by www-data user (uid:gid 33:33). That’s it. Most problems I’ve seen so far are related to files permissions, so double check to make sure the volume is owned by www-data.
