Nextcloud in a Container

Nextcloud is running as a Docker container on my Home Lab.

Previously, I used to run the container on a dedicated server, and store the data separately on my Synology NAS (Nextcloud Storing Data on NAS. Now since the container runs). Now, everything runs on the NAS.

Maintenance

• When upgrading, make sure to not skip version numbers such as going from 15 directly to 17.
• Always rebuild the nextcloud-app container with docker-compose up -d --build after upgrading to avoid starting the previously built image (with the old version)
• Run the nextcloud occ commands in the container with the php user: docker --context server exec --user www-data -it nextcloud-app php occ status (Nextcloud OCC Commands)
• Connect to the database with docker --context server exec --user www-data -it nextcloud-db mysql -u root -p'MYDBPASSWD' -D nextcloud
