Hello,
I set up Nextcloud (mariadb, apache) via Docker Compose on my Raspberry Pi (RPI OS 11 64bit). The next step is setting up Cron.
I should take the example from the docker documentation, as follows:
cron:
image: nextcloud:apache
restart: always
volumes:
- nextcloud:/var/www/html
entrypoint: /cron.sh
depends_on:
- db
- redis
However, as I was migrating from a non-docker installation and wanted to ease migration of data (and to make a back up/future migration of core data easy too) I set up the following Host volumes for the App container:
app:
volumes:
- ./config:/var/www/html/config
- ./apps:/var/www/html/custom_apps
- /nextcloud-data:/var/www/html/data
I assume (and from inspecting the running App container it seems) that the rest of the files that need to be in /var/www/html
are there/taken from the image. (Is that correct - do image files get ‘overwritten’ by volume files?)
Now, for the Cron container I can think of several options, but I’m not sure what to do: I can apply the same Host volumes as the App container, not define a volume at all, or define an Anonymous volume. And maybe there are other options as well.
Would the Cron container need any files specific to my set-up? Might the apps that I installed write/assign ‘tasks’ to the cron job?
Any help/pointers much appreciated!
