Container-manager-nextcloud - bearsadventures.co.uk

Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services. Nextcloud recently changed its name to Nextcloud Hub 26. It’s free and open-source which means that anyone is allowed to install and operate it on their own private server devices. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Nextcloud Hub 26 on your Synology NAS using Docker

Step 1

Install container manager, If you have already installed the manager jump to step 3

Select Main menu or the Package Center shortcut

Step 2

Type in Container in the Search bar and Press enter on your keyboard. Then you will See Container manager like below. in my case i have installed the Container manager already. Select install, wait a few second and then select open.

Step 3

Now you have selected open you should see a screen like below and The Manager will say Running in green. Select open and move on to the next step.

Step 4

Now you will be Presented with the below. This is the Container manager over view of all your Containers and what’s happening in real time.

Step 5

Now We need to Create a Project for Nextcloud.

This project will do a number of things. download the image and setup the Project to Run all in one go.

Select project from the menu down the side and then select Create button

Step 6

before we go any thurther we need to ensure we have our folders setup ready for the project.

I have a main folder on the Synology system just for docker projects. create the following folders using filestation so my path for nextcloud will look like this

Ensure Lowercase for this(container manager is case sustentive)

config
custom_apps
data
db
html
redis
themes

Step 7

Now we need to add a TXT file for and name it my.cnf

in the file you will need to put the following

NEXTCLOUD_ROOT_PASSWORD=secure_root_password_123
NEXTCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD=secure_nextcloud_db_password_456
NPM_ROOT_PASSWORD=secure_npm_root_password_789
NPM_DB_PASSWORD=secure_npm_db_password_012

Remember to change the password sections.

Step 8

now we have created the folders needed for the project we can go ahead and create the project in Container manager

Give the project a name, change source to Create docker-compose.yml and add the path. Project name is all lower case.

See below for before and after the code you will need is below also.

the volume path needs tobe exact or the project will return a fail. like above i missed out projects folder so i got a error and had to trouble shoot.
