# 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
|
|
|
|
Starting Nextcloud php-fpm instance listening on port 9000 is as easy as the following:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ 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 internet, we recommend using a reverse proxy in front. 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). Once you have a reverse proxy, you can access Nextcloud at http://localhost/ and go through the wizard.
|
|
|
|
By default this container uses SQLite for data storage, but the wizard allows 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
|
|
|
|
## ... via [`docker-compose`](https://github.com/docker/compose)
|
|
|
|
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/))
|
|
|
|
## Update to a newer version
|
|
|
|
To update your Nextcloud version you simply have to pull and start the new container.
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker pull indiehosters/nextcloud
|
|
$ docker run -d indiehosters/nextcloud
|
|
```
|
|
When you access your site the update wizard will show up.
