So, currently I am working on a setup based on this example. I have customized it to my needs in order to make SSL work (give it the domain, an email address etc.) and changed some container and volume names.
What do I need to do to make Nextcloud run on https://domain.tld/nextcloud/, instead of https://domain.tld/? I would run it on its separate domain, but I don’t have the possibility to, and I want to run more things on the same domain, so, this is the method I am resorting to.
I did test my setup normally, with Nextcloud running in the webroot, and everything works like it should.
- When I am writing
domain.tldI am referring to the actual domain I own - When I refer to
container, I am referring to trying to directly access thewebcontainer by opening a port on it withports: - "8080:80"in thedocker-compose.ymlfile
Here is what I tried:
-
Give the
web(in my file,nextcloud-web) container theVIRTUAL_PATH=/nextcloudvariable. Of course, this needs to be done in order to make thenginxproxy/nginx-proxycontainer actually proxy the container to the/nextcloudpath, according to their READMEs and wikis, so it was like this throughout all these steps. -
Give the
app(in my file,nextcloud) container theOVERWRITEWEBROOT=/nextcloudvariable. I remember I had a setup working where this was required, so this was a good first step I guess, but, I think there’s more configuring needed to happen to make this work.
- Results on
domain.tld/nextcloud: 502 from nginx - Results on
container/: 502 from nginx - Results on
container/nextcloud: something that looks like the Nextcloud admin account creation page with everything but the HTML all stripped off of it:
- Try to modify the
web/nginx.conffile the best I could. Here is what I came up with:

What I did was basically try to replace everything I thought would make Nginx broadcast to the custom webroot path (not very smart).
-
Results on
domain.tld/nextcloud: 404 from nginx -
Results on
container/: the normal Nextcloud admin account creation page, not tested further than this:
-
Results on
container/nextcloud: 404 from nginx
- Try all of the above at the same time.
- Results on
domain.tld/nextcloud: 404 from nginx - Results on
container/: same thing with the stripped down Nextcloud admin account creation page - Results on
container/nextcloud: 404 from nginx
I have some basic knowledge about Nginx, enough to get me by with simple configurations and to understand most of the configuration file, and I also know how to use Docker and docker-compose. I do have some experience with Nextcloud, running on bare metal and also through containers. I had a setup like this working through Docker an year or two ago, but it wasn’t using docker-compose and it required some configuring after spinning up the containers, which kind of defeats the purpose of using Docker in that case. I don’t really know how to proceed further. Can anyone give me some help?
Here is my docker-compose.yml file:
