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!!
Here’s my docker-compose.yml for nextcloud (with minor privacy changes) that includes onlyoffice and drawio containers. SSL is not included and should be handled by NPM and you’ll need a proxy host for both drawio and onlyoffice. I use NPM in docker so I just add it to the docs network instead of exposing any additional ports. For onlyoffice the secret key gets regenerated each time the container starts so you’ll need to update onlyoffice setting in nextcloud each time (unless someone has a better solution). You can get the secret key by logging into the onlyoffice container and running
cat /etc/onlyoffice/documentserver-example/local.json
I’ve been running this solution for a few years without any major issues.
docker-compose.yml

This compose looks like it should work, I’m not at a pc to test but it’s near identical to my own; I would maybe change onlyoffice for collabra otherwise try this.
Op states they are using a Nas and server, so if NFS is being used you may need :Z on the end of any kind volume (or a non-NFS mount point if using podman/extended ACLS don’t work).
