Ok for future reference, I found my answer regarding to my first question (post below). The cron job has to have the same volume as the app and it doesn’t seem that I need to make them share the volume (with `:z`).

> The cron container needs exactly the same volumes, variables and configs (e.g. DB) as app container. in other words it’s like a clone just running another command line (webserver is replaced by cron). more detailed discussion is [here](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/clarification-regarding-cron-jobs-setup-config/134450/2) - try the search function it amazing wink

I can’t find anything regarding to the nignx, but I don’t think we need to share the same volume since it is not documented anywhere.
