Nextcloud-Docker/.examples

Examples section

In this subfolders are some examples how to use the docker image. There are two sections:

• dockerfiles
• [docker-compose] (https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/tree/master/.examples/docker-compose)

The dockerfiles are derived images, that add or alter certain functionalities of the default docker images. In the docker-compose subfolder are examples for deployment of the application, including database, redis, collabora and other services.

Dockerfiles

The Dockerfiles use the default images as base image an build on top of it.

Example	Description
cron	uses supervisord to run the cron job inside the container (so no extra container is needed).
imap	adds dependency to authentificate user via imap
smb	adds dependency to use smb shares

docker-compose

In docker-compose examples additional services are added to create a complete nextcloud installation. The examples are designed to run out-of-the-box. Before running the examples you have to open the db.env and docker-compose file and fill in appropriate passwords and your domain name(s).

TODO: ADD INSECURE DESCRIPTION

with-nginx-proxy

The nginx proxy adds a proxy layer between nextcloud and the internet. The proxy is designed to serve multiple sites on the same host machine. The advantage in adding this additional layer is the combination with a container for Let's Encrypt certificate handling. This combination of the jwilder/nginx-proxy and jrcs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion gives you fully automated https encryption of your nextcloud installation without worrying about certificate generation, validation or renewal.

To use this example complete the following steps:

1. open docker-compose.yml a. insert your nextcloud domain behind VIRTUAL_HOST=and LETSENCRYPT_HOST= b. enter a valid email behind LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL c. choose a root password for the database behin MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD= d. enter your collabora domain behind domain=
2. choose a password for the database user nextcloud in db.envbehind MYSQL_PASSWORD
3. run docker-compose build --pull to pull the most recent base images and build the custom dockerfiles
4. start nextcloud with docker-compose up -d

If you want to update your installation to a newer version of nextcloud, repeat the steps 3 and 4.
