Docker + Nextcloud = why is it so difficult? - eviltoast

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!!

    I would recommend going with the Docker AIO install, it does a lot of the heavy lifting for you as well as dealing with backups and updates for long term maintenance.

      I spun this up just today and had no issues whatsoever. Just a bad aftertase because the AIO package creates and manages other containers on the host, I’d love to have more control over those as well. But for the sake of comfortability I’ll just have to accept that. And it truly works out of the box!
