It consists of the Nextcloud installation in an [php-fpm](https://hub.docker.com/_/php/) container. To use this image it must be combined with any webserver that can proxy the http requests to the FastCGI-port of the container. ## Start Nextcloud Starting Nextcloud php-fpm instance listening on port 9000 is as easy as the following: ```console -$ docker run -d nextcloud +$ docker run -d indiehosters/nextcloud ``` -Now you can get access to fpm running on port 9000 inside the container. If you want to access it from the Internets, we recommend using a reverse proxy in front. You can find more information on that on the docker-compose section. Once you have a reverse proxy, go to http://localhost/ and go through the wizard.
