docker-nextcloud-extended

Nextcloud's docker image with extra utilities

Note

The images with tags latest and stable are being rebuilt every week even if there isn't a Nextcloud update to get security updates form apt.

Important

I do not recommend automatically pulling the latest and stable tags as they track upstream image and they can update you to the next major version without you intending to do so.

If you'd like to receive the weekly updates tag your images with the major version like jiriks74/nextcloud-extended:28. Keep in mind that these version tags are not automatically updated when new major version is out for the stable tag upstream.

This image is availabe on DockerHub

Utilities added

• gnupg2 - Used by Snappymail to encrypt and sign emails
• ffmpeg - Used by Video converter app
• aria2 and youtube-dl - Used by NCDownloader app
• libmagickcore-dev - To fix Module php-imagick in this instance has no SVG support error

Setup

I recommend using docker compose to set up Nextcloud as it's easier to manage than palin Docker.

Basic docker-compose.yml

Important

Don't forget to change the passwords (similar to <password>) and if you'd like to change the database name and user too.

Tips

Cron job

If you're getting error simmilar to Last job execution ran a day ago. Something seems wrong. try to add this to your cron tab (sudo crontab -e):

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * docker exec -u www-data <container_name> php -f /var/www/html/cron.php

Important

Don't forget to change the <container_name> to your Nextcloud's container name (eg. docker-nextcloud_app)
