Nextcloud

Notes

1. Setting NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_USER and NEXTCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD variables help admin account creation. This runs every time the containers are started and better to comment out parts of the docker-compose.yml file after the first run to avoid going into init loop on every start.
2. The pre/post installation hooks run only (when config.php file is not present / detected) on first install.

Pending Tasks

1. Cron jobs need to set manually.
2. External Storage support (currently) needs to be manually enabled post installation.
3. Local (LAN) DNS names are not automatically setup on host.

Basic Usage

• docker compose up -d to start containers the first time.
• docker compose stop to stop / pause containers for maintenance.
• docker compose start to resume containers.
• docker compose down to take down instance.

Debugging

• docker ps to view all docker processes.
• docker compose ls to list all compose instances.
• docker logs -f ${DOCKER_CONTAINER_NAME} to watch real-time logs.
• docker exec -it ${DOCKER_CONTAINER_NAME} [COMMAND] to run command inside container.
  • docker exec -it ${DOCKER_CONTAINER_NAME} bash opens shell inside container.

Advanced

• docker compose down -v --rmi local to take down instance, remove volumes, and images.
• docker compose up -d --build to rebuild containers and volumes.
