Nextcloud-Docker/README.md

What is Nextcloud?

A safe home for all your data. Access & share your files, calendars, contacts, mail & more from any device, on your terms.

How to use this image

Start Nextcloud

Starting the Nextcloud 9.0.53 instance listening on port 80 is as easy as the following:

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nextcloud:9.0.53

Then 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.

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.

Persistent data

All data beyond what lives in the database (file uploads, etc) is stored within the default volume /var/www/html. With this volume, Nextcloud will only be updated when the file version.php is not present.

• -v /<mydatalocation>:/var/www/html

For fine grained data persistence, you can use 3 volumes, as shown below.

• -v /<mydatalocation>/apps:/var/www/html/apps installed / modified apps
• -v /<mydatalocation>/config:/var/www/html/config local configuration
• -v /<mydatalocation>/data:/var/www/html/data the actual data of your Nextcloud
