I currently have Nextcloud 23 running as a Docker container using the apache-image.
However, there is also an nginx proxy manager container in front of the nextcloud container in order to do the reverse proxy management for all my subdomains.
As I have two reverse proxies lined up (first nginx proxy manager, then apache in the docker container), I thought it might be possible to spare the apache and switch to the fpm image.
However, I couldn’t find a way to route directly from the nginx proxy manager to the nextcloud-fpm image. Is this possible?
The examples all have another nginx instance in the docker-compose.yml, but that way I would just replace apache with nginx wich can be a little advantage, but the real advantage would be to remove one layer of reverse proxies…
Basically I can’t get nextcloud:FPM to work with Nginx when docker-compose starts nextcloud:FPM and Nginx is a normal Linux service.
So same issue in that I use Nginx and do not want another Apache (or any HTTP) in the docker-compose.
So I second the question: “I couldn’t find a way to route directly from the nginx proxy manager to the nextcloud-fpm image. Is this possible?” I’ve been trying to configure Nginx since it manages other subdomains not using Nginx Proxy Manger directly.
Out of curiosity I just tried to run nextcloud:fpm behind another nginx container.
Like this:
NPM > NGinx Container > Nextcloud FPM Container
Interestingly, the “default” setup with NPM > Nextcloud Apache Container finished loading in about 5 seconds while the above setup took about 7-8 seconds.
So I still would be interested to try it with just NPM > Nextcloud FPM Container but using the fpm behind another Nginx container has no advantage compared to the default setup.
Nextcloud:FPM requires port 9000. So if everything was set up correctly in NGINX PM it may work. I am new to NPM and wasn’t able to get it to work properly. So I went with the basic Nextcloud image.
I was happy to find this thread as I am struggling with the exact same problem but it is discouraging to find out that none of you has managed to get it to work.
Did anyone since?
Edit: Just to add some more info.
I added to my environment variables of the nextcloud docker setup the following two, one for the fastcgi and one to tell NPM the nextcloud port:
