Nextcloud Container

Running in a local development environment

With traefik

This is done to because step closer to what a typical production deployment looks like.

  1. Create a web network, if it doesn't exist:
podman network exist web || podman network create web
  1. Start traefik, if it isn't already running:
cd /path/to/traefik_project
podman-compose up -d
  1. Copy the traefix router & service configuration
cd /path/to/nextcloud_project
cp examples/nc.toml /path/to/traefik_project/conf.d/
  1. Start nextcloud
podman-compose up -d
  1. Access at http://nc.localhost:8080

Backing up the database

podman-compose exec nc-db mysqldump nextcloud | gzip -9 > nextcloud.sql.gz

Production deployments

Rootless container for Nextcloud with the frontend being provided by Traefik, which is running as a rootful container to bind to ports 80 and 443.

  1. Create a user for the Nextcloud application (eg. nextcloud)
  2. Enable linger for the user
  3. Create the web network if it doesn't exist
sudo -u nextcloud podman network exists web || sudo -u nextcloud podman network create web
  1. Deploy traefik configuration for the application, eg.
DEST_DIR=$(sudo podman volume inspect --format "{{.Mountpoint}}" traefik_config)
sudo cp /path/to/nextcloud/examples/nc.toml "${DEST_DIR}/"
sudo sed -i 's/nc\.localhost/HOSTNAME/g' "${DEST_DIR}/nc.toml"
sudo sed -i 's/http:\/\/nextcloud/http:\/\/localhost:9000/' "${DEST_DIR}/nc.toml"
  1. Deploy a podman-compose configuration file, eg.
# ~/.config/containers/compose/projects/nextcloud
COMPOSE_PROJECT_DIR=/home/nextcloud/.../nc/
COMPOSE_FILE="container-compose.yml container-compose.prod.yml"
COMPOSE_PATH_SEPARATOR=:
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=nc
  1. Deploy a systemd service file for Nextcloud, eg.
# /etc/systemd/user/nextcloud.service
[Unit]
Description=Nextcloud Rootless Pod

[Service]
User=nextcloud
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=%h/.config/containers/compose/projects/nc.env
ExecStartPre=-podman-compose up --no-start
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/podman pod start pod_nc
ExecStart=podman-compose wait
ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman pod stop pod_nc

  1. Reload systemd units

  2. Deploy any necessary environment secret to the .env file, eg.

  • MARIADB_PASSWORD
  • NC_TRUSTED_DOMAINS
  1. Start
sudo -u nextcloud systemd --user enable --now nextcloud.service
