# How to use this image
This image is designed to be used in a micro-service environment. 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

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. By default this container uses SQLite for data storage, but the wizard should allow for connecting to an existing database.

You can install it directly on your machine or use an additional container (You can find more information on that on the docker-compose section).

For a MySQL database you can link an database container, e.g. `--link my-mysql:mysql`, and then use `mysql` as the database host on setup.

You can use a setup that is used in production at [IndieHosters/Nextcloud](https://github.com/indiehosters/nextcloud).
The recommended minimal setup is using this image in combination with two containers: A database container and a reverse proxy for the http connection to the service.
A working example can be found at [IndieHosters/Nextcloud](https://github.com/indiehosters/nextcloud).
If you want to access your Nextcloud from the internet we recommend configuring your reverse proxy to use encryption (for example via [let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/))
