Getting started

To get the setup running:

git clone https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-docker-dev
cd nextcloud-docker-dev
./bootstrap.sh
sudo sh -c "echo '127.0.0.1 nextcloud.local' >> /etc/hosts"
docker-compose up nextcloud proxy

Manual setup

Nextcloud Code

The Nextcloud code base needs to be available including the 3rdparty submodule. To clone it from github run:

git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/server.git
cd server
git submodule update --init
pwd

The last command prints the path to the Nextcloud server directory. Use it for setting the REPO_PATH_SERVER in the next step.

Environment variables

A .env file should be created in the repository root, to keep configuration default on the dev setup:

cp example.env .env

Replace REPO_PATH_SERVER with the path from above.

Setting the PHP version to be used

The Nextcloud instance is setup to run with PHP 7.2 by default. If you wish to use a different version of PHP, set the PHP_VERSION .env variable.

The variable supports the following values:

  1. PHP 7.1: 71
  2. PHP 7.2: 72
  3. PHP 7.3: 73
  4. PHP 7.4: 74
  5. PHP 8.0: 80

Starting the containers

  • Start full setup: docker-compose up
  • Minimum: docker-compose up proxy nextcloud (nextcloud mysql redis mailhog)

Running stable versions

The docker-compose file provides individual containers for stable Nextcloud releases. In order to run those you will need a checkout of the stable version server branch to your workspace directory. Using git worktree makes it easy to have different branches checked out in parallel in separate directories.

cd workspace/server
git worktree add ../stable23 stable23
cd ../stable23
git submodule update --init

After adding the worktree you can start the stable container using docker-compose up -d stable23. You can then add stable23.local to your /etc/hosts file to access it.

Git worktrees can also be used to have a checkout of an apps stable brach within the server stable directory.

cd workspace/server/apps-extra/text
git worktree add ../../../stable23/apps-extra/text stable23

Running into errors

If your setup isn't working and you can not figure out the reason why, running docker-compose down -v will remove the relevant containers and volumes, allowing you to run docker-compose up again from a clean slate.

🔒 Reverse Proxy

Used for SSL termination. To setup SSL support provide a proper DOMAIN_SUFFIX environment variable and put the certificates to ./data/ssl/ named by the domain name.

You might need to add the domains to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 nextcloud.local
127.0.0.1 collabora.local

This is assuming you have set DOMAIN_SUFFIX=.local

You can generate it through:

awk -v D=.local '/- [A-z0-9]+\${DOMAIN_SUFFIX}/ {sub("\\$\{DOMAIN_SUFFIX\}", D " 127.0.0.1", $2); print $2}' docker-compose.yml

You can generate selfsigned certificates using:

cd data/ssl
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout  nextcloud.local.key -out nextcloud.local.crt

dnsmasq to resolve wildcard domains

Instead of adding the individual container domains to /etc/hosts a local dns server like dnsmasq can be used to resolve any domain ending with the configured DOMAIN_SUFFIX in .env to localhost.

For dnsmasq adding the following configuration would be sufficient for DOMAIN_SUFFIX=.local:

address=/.local/127.0.0.1

Use valid certificates trusted by your system

  • Install mkcert https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert

  • Go to data/ssl

  • mkcert nextcloud.local

  • mv nextcloud.local-key.pem nextcloud.local.key

  • mv nextcloud.local.pem nextcloud.local.crt

  • docker-compose restart proxy

✉ Mail

Sending/receiving mails can be tested with mailhog which is available on ports 1025 (SMTP).

To use the webui, add 127.0.0.1 mail.local to your /etc/hosts and open mail.local.

🚀 Blackfire

Blackfire needs to use a hostname/ip that is resolvable from within the blackfire container. Their free version is limited to local profiling so we need to browse Nextcloud though its local docker IP or add the hostname to /etc/hosts.

Using with curl

alias blackfire='docker-compose exec -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID=$BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN=$BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN blackfire blackfire'
blackfire curl http://192.168.21.8/

👥 LDAP

The LDAP sample data is based on https://github.com/rroemhild/docker-test-openldap and extended with randomly generated users/groups. For details see data/ldap-generator/. LDAP will be configured automatically if the ldap container is available during installation.

Example users are: leela fry bender zoidberg hermes professor. The password is the same as the uid.

Useful commands:

docker-compose exec ldap ldapsearch -H 'ldap://localhost' -D "cn=admin,dc=planetexpress,dc=com" -w admin -b "dc=planetexpress,dc=com" "(&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(description=*use*))"

Collabora

  • Make sure to have the collabora hostname setup in your /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 collabora.local
  • Automatically enable for one of your containers (e.g. the main nextcloud one):
    • Run ./scripts/enable-collabora nextcloud
  • Manual setup
    • Start the Collabora Online server in addition to your other containers docker-compose up -d collabora
    • Make sure you have the richdocuments app cloned to your apps-extra directory and built the frontend code of the app with npm ci && npm run build
    • Enable the app and configure collabora.local in the Collabora settings inside of Nextcloud

ONLYOFFICE

  • Make sure to have the collabora hostname setup in your /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 onlyoffice.local
  • Automatically enable for one of your containers (e.g. the main nextcloud one):
    • Run ./scripts/enable-onlyoffice nextcloud
  • Manual setup
    • Start the ONLYOFFICE server in addition to your other containers docker-compose up -d onlyoffice
    • Clone https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/onlyoffice-nextcloud into your apps directory
    • Enable the app and configure onlyoffice.local in the ONLYOFFICE settings inside of Nextcloud

Antivirus

docker-compose up -d proxy nextcloud av

The clanav antivirus will then be exposed as a deamon with host clam and port 3310.

SAML

docker-compose up -d proxy nextcloud saml
  • uid mapping: urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1
  • idp entity id: https://sso.local.dev.bitgrid.net/simplesaml/saml2/idp/metadata.php
  • single sign on service url: https://sso.local.dev.bitgrid.net/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SSOService.php
  • single log out service url: https://sso.local.dev.bitgrid.net/simplesaml/saml2/idp/SingleLogoutService.php
  • use certificate from docker/configs/var-simplesamlphp/cert/example.org.crt

Environment based SSO

A simple approach to test environment based SSO with the user_saml app is to use apache basic auth with the following configuration:


<Location /login>
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "SAML"
	AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd
	Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /index.php/login>
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "SAML"
	AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd
	Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /index.php/apps/user_saml/saml/login>
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "SAML"
	AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd
	Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /apps/user_saml/saml/login>
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "SAML"
	AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd
	Require valid-user
</Location>

Fulltextsearch

docker-compose up -d elasticsearch elasticsearch-ui
  • Address for configuring in Nextcloud: http://elastic:elastic@elasticsearch:9200
  • Adress to access elastic search from outside: http://elastic:elastic@elasticsearch.local
  • Address for accessing the ui: http://elasticsearch-ui.local/

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

Object storage

Primary object storage can be enabled by setting the PRIMARY=minio environment variable either in your .env file or in docker-compose.yml for individual containers.

docker-composer up proxy nextcloud minio

Development

OCC

Run inside of the Nextcloud container:

set XDEBUG_CONFIG=idekey=PHPSTORM
sudo -E -u www-data php -dxdebug.remote_host=192.168.21.1 occ

Useful commands

  • Restart apache to reload php configuration without a full container restart: docker-compose kill -s USR1 nextcloud
  • Access to mysql console: mysql -h $(docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' nextcloud_database-mysql_1) -P 3306 -u nextcloud -pnextcloud
  • Run an LDAP search: ldapsearch -x -H ldap://$(docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' nextcloud_ldap_1) -D "cn=admin,dc=planetexpress,dc=com" -w admin -b "dc=planetexpress,dc=com" -s subtree <filter> <attrs>

Keycloak

Global scale

docker-compose up -d proxy portal gs1 gs2 lookup database-mysql

Users are named the same as the instance name, e.g. gs1, gs2
