Nextcloud in a Container

Nextcloud is running as a docker container in my Home Lab.

I used to store the data separately from the server it was running on. See Nextcloud Storing Data on NAS

Maintenance

• When upgrading, make sure to not skip version numbers such as going from 15 directly to 17. Furthermore make sure to rebuild the nextcloud-app container with docker-compose up -d --build.
