In this tutorial, we are going to use Docker compose to install the NextCloud official Docker image with Portainer.
To start
This is going to be just one of many ways to install NextCloud. I am going to show you my way.
First, you need to have Docker installed on your NAS (if it's supported).
Now install Portainer. You can use @Rusty's tutorial: Docker - Portainer - Docker container managment made easy
Database
Now that we have all the required tools, first, install the MariaDB using this tutorial: Docker - MariaDB - one of the most popular database servers
You can also use MySQL or PostgreSQL, but in this tutorial, we are using MariaDB.
For accessing the database I use phpMyAdmin: Docker - phpMyAdmin - A web interface for MySQL and MariaDB
Login to phpMyAdmin and create a database for Nextcloud. Write down your
database name, database user, and password. You are going to need this later.NextCloud
First, make sure to create folders for Nextcloud in your FileStation before you enter the docker-compose code.
I am using this location:
docker/nextcloud. and this is on Volume 1:- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/html
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/custom_apps
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/config
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/data
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/themes
Now we are going to use the official image:
https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud.Login to your Portainer and create a Stack (read more about how to use stacks here: Docker - Portainer - using stacks (docker-compose)).
Now use this docker-compose:
YAML:
version: "3.5"
services:
app:
image: nextcloud:latest
restart: always
network_mode: bridge
container_name: nextcloud
ports:
- 8787:80
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/html:/var/www/html
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/custom_apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data
- /volume1/docker/nextcloud/themes:/var/www/html/themes/
environment:
- PUID=1031
- PGID=1023
- TZ=London/Europe
- MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
- MYSQL_USER=user_nextcloud
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=********
- MYSQL_HOST=192.168.0.8:3338
- NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS=nextcloud.example.com
- OVERWRITEPROTOCOL=httpsWe are using the
latest image.You can change the port if you wish (the left number only).
Make sure to change the PUID and PGID to your
http user ID and group (Tutorial - How to find UID (userID) and GID (groupID)?).Change
TZ to your timezone.The next three variables are for the database. Make sure to use the right credentials.
*Note that I like to have the database separated and not in the same stack, but you can combine it together in one stack.
For
host use yourNASip:databaseLocalPort.Deploy the stack and that should be enough. Open NextCloud on
yourNASip:nextcloudPort. Continue with the guided NextCloud installation.As already said, this can be done in many ways. I hope this way will help someone to install NextCloud.
