Local Nextcloud

There are a couple of TechnoDadLife videos, the first deals with just the local install and the second adds letsencrypt and duckdns to put it on the web. You could do the setup of the first video only. Only problem is the video is a bit dated, using OMV4 and Docker plugin. You might be able to glean enough to make it happen. Can’t hurt to try.

Here you go:

Rarose,

If you don't want to expose Nextcloud to the world, then don't use any domain or DNS service such as DuckDNS/LetsEncrypt for Nextcloud.

You can just use VPN into it remotely if whenever you need it.

You know, I may have misspoke a bit. I just made a quick scan through the video and it has a lot of frass that does not translate well into OMV5/Portainer/Stacks/docker-compose. There is a good bit of cli in it in setting up MySQL and other settings.

What you need is a docker-compose file that only contains nextcloud and mariadb elements in it. Search the Internet for something like “local Nextcloud install using docker-compose.”

You could probably use the docker-compose file here in macom ’s Nextcloud Guide and just delete the letsencrypt (swag) portion from line 29 on down. You will have to figure out where to insert a port in the file. In the TechnoDadLife video 3306 was used I think and it was set up in the mariadb docker.

You might try something like this:

version: "2"
services:
  nextcloud:
    image: linuxserver/nextcloud
    container_name: nextcloud
    environment:
      - PUID=1000 #change PUID if needed
      - PGID=100  #change PGID if needed
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin #change Time Zone if needed
    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1/appdata/nextcloud:/config #/srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1 needs to be adjusted
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1/nextcloud:/data     #/srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1 needs to be adjusted
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
    ports:
      - 8080:80
      - 450:443
    restart: unless-stopped
  mariadb:
    image: linuxserver/mariadb
    container_name: nextclouddb
    environment:
      - PUID=1000 #change PUID if needed
      - PGID=100  #change PGID if needed
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mariadbpassword  #change password
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin #Change Time Zone if needed
    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1/appdata/nextclouddb:/config    #/srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1 needs to be adjusted
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
restart: unless-stopped

Play with it and see what you get. I have jiggered the yml file to reflect what I understand is contained in the TDL video.
