Configuring external-storage folder outside /var/www/html with Docker

Hello,

I am using Nextcloud on Docker. I am trying to setup external storage, but I would like to setup this outside /var/www/html folder to have fluent updates and avoid potential problems as described on github.

I tried to setup external storage within /var/www/html and I was successful, but all attempts to make that outside this folder fail. When I try to map folders with Docker volumes, they simply do not appear in the container itself.

My recent docker compose file:

version: '3.8'

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.11
    container_name: mariadb
    restart: always
    command: --transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED --log-bin=binlog --binlog-format=ROW
    volumes:
      - ./sql:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud

  redis:
    container_name: redis
    image: redis:alpine
    restart: always

  app:
    image: nextcloud:stable-apache
    container_name: nextcloud
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - db
    volumes:
      - /home/nas/data/nc-test-data:/var/www/data/
    environment:
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_HOST=db

I tried to give that folder (nc-test-data) 750 permissions as described in manual, but folder is still not present in the container itself when I cd into the /www/data folder.

Is there a correct way of doing this without actually creating your own Docker image? Do I miss here something? It is weird as with html folder I can more or less do this succssfully.

Thanks

I managed to solve this by (weird enough) after fully recreating docker container.
