Server: CentOS 7
Docker: 1.13.1
Nextcloud: 13.0
Nextcloud’s Docker image : https://github.com/nextcloud/docker
I successfully installed Nextcloud 13.0 using Docker and Docker Compose.
By default, my Nextcloud installation stores data to the following path:
/var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_nextcloud/_data/data/user/files
My /var folder is located on a small partition while /home folder has about 2Tb of storage space. I’m trying to setup Nextcloud to store uploaded files to /home/iamdocker/nextcloud/data on the host machine but it doesn’t work.
The Nextcloud configuration page displays the following message :
Error
Can’t create or write into the data directory /home/iamdocker/nextcloud/data/
