NextCloud

NextCloud is an open-source alternative to the many offerings that Google provides, mainly for storage and collaboration.

Docker Image is from Linuxserver, found here.

Setup

1. Create an .env file with:

CLOUD_DOMAIN=<nextcloud domain>
MYSQL_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>
MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<PASSWORD>

2. Run it!

docker-compose up -d

Backups

Data for NextCloud is stored locally at $HOME/Data/nextcloud, and can be backed up with the following:

# Backup
docker exec CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysqldump -u root --password=<root password> nextcloud > backup.sql

# Restore
cat backup.sql | docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=<root password> nextcloud

Note

A cronjob specification is not provided here as I personally no longer use NextCloud as I used to. Feel free to copy configuration from other services in this repo for a period cronjob.
