wonderfall/nextcloud

The self-hosted productivity platform that keeps you in control.

Nextcloud official website and source code.

Why this image?

This non-official image is intended as an all-in-one (as in monolithic) Nextcloud production image. If you're not sure you want this image, you should probably use the official image.

Security

Don't run random images from random dudes on the Internet. Ideally, you want to maintain and build it yourself.

Images are scanned every day by Trivy for OS vulnerabilities. Latest tag/version is automatically built weekly, so you should often update your images regardless if you're already using the latest Nextcloud version.

If you're building manually, you should always build production images without cache (use docker build --no-cache for instance). Latest dependencies will hence be used instead of outdated ones due to a cached layer.

Features

  • Fetching PHP/nginx from their official images.
  • Rootless: no privilege at any time, even at startup.
  • Includes hardened_malloc, a hardened memory allocator.
  • Includes a simple built-in cron system.
  • Much easier to maintain thanks to multi-stages build.
  • Does not include imagick, samba, etc. by default.

You're free to make your own image based on this one if you want a specific feature. Uncommon features won't be included as they can increase attack surface: this image intends to stay minimal, but functional enough to cover basic needs.

Tags

  • latest : latest Nextcloud version
  • x : latest Nextcloud x.x (e.g. 21)
  • x.x.x : Nextcloud x.x.x (e.g. 21.0.2)

You can always have a glance here. Only the latest stable version will be maintained by myself.

Build-time variables

Variable Description
NEXTCLOUD_VERSION version of Nextcloud
ALPINE_VERSION version of Alpine Linux
PHP_VERSION version of PHP
NGINX_VERSION version of nginx
APCU_VERSION version of APCu (php ext)
REDIS_VERSION version of redis (php ext)
HARDENED_MALLOC_VERSION version of hardened_malloc
CONFIG_NATIVE native code for hmalloc
UID user id (default: 1000)
GID group id (default: 1000)

For convenience they were put at the very top of the Dockerfile and their usage should be quite explicit if you intend to build this image yourself.

Environment variables (Dockerfile)

Variable Description Default
UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE file upload maximum size 10G
APC_SHM_SIZE apc shared memory size 128M
MEMORY_LIMIT max php command mem usage 512M
CRON_PERIOD cron time interval (min.) 5m
CRON_MEMORY_LIMIT cron max memory usage 1G
DB_TYPE sqlite3, mysql, pgsql sqlite3
DOMAIN host domain localhost

Leave them at default if you're not sure what you're doing.

Environment variables (used by setup.sh)

Variable Description
ADMIN_USER admin username
ADMIN_PASSWORD admin password
DB_TYPE sqlit3, mysql, pgsql
DB_NAME name of the database
DB_USER name of the database user
DB_PASSWORD password of the db user
DB_HOST database host

ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWORD are optional and mainly for niche purposes. Obviously, avoid clear text passwords. Once setup.sh has run for the first time, these variables can be removed. You should then edit /nextcloud/config/config.php directly if you want to change something in your configuration.

The usage of Docker secrets will be considered in the future, but config.php already covers quite a lot.

Volumes

Variable Description
/data data files
/nextcloud/config config files
/nextcloud/apps2 3rd-party apps
/nextcloud/themes custom themes

Ports

Port Use
8888 (tcp) Nextcloud web

A reverse proxy like Traefik or Caddy can be used, and you should consider:

  • Redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
  • Setting the HSTS header correctly

Migration from the legacy image

From now on you'll need to make sure all volumes have proper permissions. The default UID/GID is now 1000, so you'll need to build the image yourself if you want to change that, or you can just change the actual permissions of the volumes using chown -R 1000:1000. The flexibility provided by the legacy image came at some cost (performance & security), therefore this feature won't be provided anymore.

Other changes that should be reflected in your configuration files:

  • /config volume is now /nextcloud/config
  • /apps2 volume is now /nextcloud/apps2
  • ghcr.io/wonderfall/nextcloud is the new image location

You should edit your docker-compose.yml and config.php accordingly.
