¶ Nextcloud: Collaboration, Tasking, File Storage, Etc.
Nextcloud is an open-source cloud that allows you to store files, manage your calendar, take notes with self-hosted office software, communicate internally with other users on your cloud, share files externally, and much more. You can learn more about Nextcloud from the links below:
¶ Introduction
We will be covering how to run Nextcloud using Docker, Docker-compose, Portainer, and Nginx Proxy Manager.
We have an advanced course on how to do this at TrueFreedomTech.com covering multiple configurations and separating data from compute, deploying with git, and more.
¶ Overview
We are going to assume you already have a working server with Docker, Portainer, and Nginx Proxy Manager running. We will go over the compose for the stack and configuring Nginx-Proxy-Manager.
¶ Docker-Compose
The next step is our Docker-Compose. We will be deploying this with Portainer.
If you are not familiar with Portainer or Docker-Compose here are the official docs:
Step 1: Go to Stacks.
Step 2: Click Add Stack.
Step 3: Name your stack (Ex. nextcloud).
Step 4: Paste in the contents below (Don't forget to change the trusted domain in the stack):
Step 5: Deploy the stack.

Before we configure our apps, we will set up our domains using Nginx-Proxy-Manager. If you followed our Nginx-Proxy-Manager stack setup you should be able to copy everything we do step by step.
¶ Nextcloud Domain Setup
Step 1: Copy the Nextcloud service name.
This should be nextcloud_nc if you did not change the names of apps.
Step 2: Log in to Nginx-Proxy-Manager and create a new proxy host.
Step 3: Enter your Domain name (Ex. nextcloud.example.com)
Step 4: Add the service name to the Forward Hostname / IP at port 80.
Step 5: Enable Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, and Websockets Support.
Step 6: Click Save.
Step 7 (Optional): Enable SSL (we say this is optional, but you should always have an SSL cert if possible).

¶ Only Office Domain Setup
Step 1: Copy the Onlyoffice service name.
This should be nextcloud_onlyoffice-document-server if you did not change the names of apps.
Step 2: Log in to Nginx-Proxy-Manager and create a new proxy host.
Step 3: Enter your Domain name (Ex. onlyoffice.example.com)
Step 4: Add the service name to the Forward Hostname / IP at port 80.
Step 5: Enable Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, and Websockets Support.
Step 6: Click Save.
Step 7 (Optional): Enable SSL (we say this is optional, but you should always have an SSL cert if possible).

¶ Configuring Nextcloud
After setting up your domain name it's time to finish configuring the app. Go to the URL you chose for your application. You should arrive at a screen like this!
(If you do not arrive at a screen like this then something is wrong! Our premium members can open a support ticket Here!)
Step 1: Create your admin username and password.
Step 2: Click Storage & Database.
Step 3: Choose MySQL/MariaDB
Step 4: Enter your database credentials:
dbuserdbpassdbnc-db:3306
Step 5: Install Nextcloud.
**Note: If you are not using SSL after installation your Nextcloud may break!
¶ Conclusion
This is the basic setup for AVideo, as mentioned at the beginning we have a more in-depth course available at TrueFreedomTech.com.
