Docker + Nextcloud = why is it so difficult? - Lemmy.world

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: 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 (that part was a deal breaker). Probably up their with LSIO in simplicity, however, and it doesn’t default to sqlite which is nice.
