nicokaiser/nextcloud repository overview

⁠Nextcloud Docker image with Apache and PHP 7.0

⁠How to use this image

⁠Start Nextcloud

Starting the Nextcloud instance listening on port 80 is as easy as the following:

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nicokaiser/nextcloud

Then go to http://localhost/⁠ and go through the wizard. By default this container uses SQLite for data storage, but the wizard should allow for connecting to an existing database.

For a MySQL database you can link an database container, e.g. --link my-mysql:mysql, and then use mysql as the database host on setup.

⁠Persistent data

All data beyond what lives in the database (file uploads, etc) is stored within the default volume /var/www/html. With this volume, Nextcloud will only be updated when the file version.php is not present.

• -v /<mydatalocation>:/var/www/html

For fine grained data persistence, you can use 3 volumes, as shown below.

• -v /<mydatalocation>/apps:/var/www/html/apps installed / modified apps
• -v /<mydatalocation>/config:/var/www/html/config local configuration
• -v /<mydatalocation>/data:/var/www/html/data the actual data of your Nextcloud

⁠... via docker-compose⁠

Example docker-compose.yml for nextcloud:

# Nextcloud with MariaDB/MySQL
#
# Access via "http://localhost:8080" (or "http://$(docker-machine ip):8080" if using docker-machine)
#
# During initial Nextcloud setup, select "Storage & database" --> "Configure the database" --> "MySQL/MariaDB"
# Database user: root
# Database password: example
# Database name: pick any name
# Database host: replace "localhost" with "mysql"
