Prerequisites

  • Linux Server running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or newer
  • Domain that points to the public IP of your Linux Server

You can still install Docker on a Linux Server that is not running Ubuntu, however, this may require different commands!

1. Install Docker, and Docker-Compose

You can still install Docker on a Linux Server that is not running Ubuntu, however, this may require different commands!

1.1. Install Docker

sudo apt update

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

1.2. Check if Docker is installed correctly

sudo docker run hello-world

1.3. Install Docker-Compose

Download the latest version (in this case it is 1.25.5, this may change whenever you read this tutorial!)

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.5/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

1.4. Check if Docker-Compose is installed correctly

sudo docker-compose --version

1.5. (optional) Add your linux user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

2. Set up Nextcloud

2.1. Create a Docker-Compose file

Create a new docker-compose.yml file in your project folder e.g. /home/<your-username>/nextcloud.

You can also create a new folder in the /opt directory, this may require different permissions.

2.2. Start Nextcloud

Navigate to your project folder, and execute the following command.

docker-compose up -d

2.3. Configure Nginx Proxy Manager

Open the web interface of Nginx Proxy Manager at http://your-server-address:81, and log in with the default username, and password [email protected] / changeme.

Create a new Proxy Host, and fill in a subdomain e.g. nextcloud.your-server-address as the domain name and forward it to nextcloud-app on port 80.

You can obtain a free SSL certificate from letsencrypt to securely expose Nextcloud via HTTPS.

2.4. Configure Nextcloud

Open the web interface of Nextcloud at https://nextcloud.your-server-address, and log in with the default username, and password admin / admin.

3. (optional) Fix issues

3.1. Desktop Client Sync does not work

If you have issues with Desktop Client Sync, you need to change the config/config.php file and add the following line.

'overwriteprotocol' => 'https'
