Nextcloud Setup

  1. Connect to your slot through SSH

  2. Create directories for Nextcloud and its files:

     mkdir -p ~/nextcloud ~/nextcloud/server ~/nextcloud/db

  3. Create the following Compose file. Run nano ~/nextcloud/compose.yaml and enter the following text:

     services:
   nc:
     image: nextcloud:apache
     environment:
       - APACHE_DISABLE_REWRITE_IP=1
       - TRUSTED_PROXIES=127.0.0.1
       - OVERWRITEPROTOCOL=https
       - REDIS_HOST=redis
       - POSTGRES_HOST=db
       - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=changethis
       - POSTGRES_DB=nextcloud
       - POSTGRES_USER=nextcloud
     ports:
       - 127.0.0.1:23751:80
     restart: always
     volumes:
       - /home/user/nextcloud/server:/var/www/html
   redis:
     image: redis:alpine
     restart: always
   db:
     image: postgres:alpine
     environment:
       - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=changethis
       - POSTGRES_DB=nextcloud
       - POSTGRES_USER=nextcloud
     restart: always
     volumes:
       - /home/user/nextcloud/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
     expose:
       - 5432

    Choose a single unique password and change changethis in the file to that password. It must match on both lines.

    Then, press Ctrl+S (save) followed by Ctrl+X (exit).

  4. Change to the ~/nextcloud directory: cd ~/nextcloud

  5. Launch Nextcloud: podman-compose up -d

    It may take several minutes to launch. Nextcloud will be ready when you are returned to your shell prompt.

Access Nextcloud with your managed link on your Manage Links page to complete the setup process.
