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.yml that 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!!
As others have commented, Nextcloud provide an all-in-one docker set up. I managed to follow the instructions and get it working.
However, in the end, I wanted this to replace my Dropbox subscription, and my files and reliable access to them are important to me. Given that, and my relatively low skill level, I didn’t want to futz with troubleshooting failed updates and server issues, so I just went with a Hetzner storage share, which is their managed nextcloud subscription: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share
I found the AIO to be kind of quirky in the way it’s architected, including having a master container that must be named exactly and I couldn’t find a way to make a bind mount for the config/data (that part was a deal breaker). Probably up their with LSIO in simplicity, however, and it doesn’t default to sqlite which is nice.
This is a completely valid option and one that more people should consider. You don’t have to selfhosted everything, even if you can. I actually prefer to support existing instances of stuff in a lot of cases.
I use https://disroot.org for email and cloud, and I’m more than happy to kick them a hundred bucks a year to help support a community. Same with https://fosstodon.org for Mastodon. I’m fully capable of self-hosting these things, but instead I actively choose to support them instead so that their services can be extended to more than just myself. I chose those two because they send excess funds upstream to FOSS projects. I’m proud to rep those domains.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
