nextcloud-podman-quadlets

nextcloud for podman, based on https://github.com/nextcloud/docker

Note

If you encounter any issues relating to this installation method, please raise an issue on this repository rather than bothering the official Nextcloud team.

Installation steps

1. Either clone or manually write the quadlet files to /etc/containers/systemd/nextcloud:

   git clone https://github.com/linux-universe/nextcloud-podman-quadlets.git /etc/containers/systemd/nextcloud

Note

For rootless Podman setups, clone the repository to ~/.config/containers/systemd/nextcloud instead.

2. Make sure to pass in values for MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and MYSQL_PASSWORD variables before you run this setup

3. Reload systemd:

   systemctl daemon-reload

4. Then start the nextcloud pod:

   systemctl start nextcloud-pod

Note

Run steps 3 and 4 with the --user argument for rootless setups.

Reverse Proxy

It is highly recommended that you run this setup with a reverse proxy. To use it, uncomment the reverse proxy-related lines in nextcloud.container.

Make sure you configure the necessary redirects for service discovery: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/configuration_server/reverse_proxy_configuration.html#service-discovery.

It is also recommended that you configure HSTS. Please check the documentation for your reverse proxy for further information.

caddy example:

https://example.xyz:443 {
# HSTS
	header {
		Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
	}

# redirects
	redir /.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav/ 301
	redir /.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav/ 301

# reverse proxy
	reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}

Install and configure the Nextcloud Talk High-performance backend

Follow the steps in the guide at https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick-install/#installation-steps. For Step 2, however, follow these instructions instead:

1. Uncomment the additional exposed ports in nextcloud.pod

2. Create a new file named nextcloud-talk-hpb.container:

[Container]
AutoUpdate=registry
Pod=nextcloud.pod
Image=ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/aio-talk:latest
Environment=NC_DOMAIN=<your_domain>
Environment=TALK_HOST=<your_signaling_domain>
Environment=TALK_PORT=3478
Environment=TURN_SECRET=<your_turn_secret>
Environment=SIGNALING_SECRET=<your_signaling_secret>
Environment=INTERNAL_SECRET=<your_internal_secret>

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=900

3. Restart your Pod with systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart nextcloud-pod
