Hello all. I’ve migrated my manual installation of Nextcloud 31.0.4 from vServer A ([nextcloud.mydomain.com](http://nextcloud.mydomain.com)) to a Podman quadlet on vServer B ([test.mydomain.com](http://test.mydomain.com)). I use the [docker.io/nextcloud:31](http://docker.io/nextcloud:31) image (so it is running apache). So far, it looks very good. I have a Caddy server running on the host, just doing ```auto test.mydomain.com { reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8086 } ``` And I added my local network to trusted proxies: ```auto 'trusted_proxies' => array ( 0 => '10.0.0.0/8', ), ``` With that, I see no error messages in the log and I could connect to my calendar via (desktop) Thunderbird and my Andoid Nextcloud app to the new instance. But before I actually flip the switch, I want to check again that everything is configured correctly. For example, I saw that some people have this in their Caddyfile: ```auto redir /.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav 301 redir /.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav 301 ``` But I don’t need this, because I use the apache-image (not php-fpm), right? And can I somehow check whether Nexcloud sees the real IP of my clients or only that of the proxy? Or is that not important at all? ---

If you run a container with rootless podman on a custom network and publish a port with the quadlet directive `PublishPort=` then the program in the container will not see the correct source IP address. This problem can be solved by using _socket activation_ instead of using `PublishPort=` I wrote a demo of how to run nextcloud with rootless Podman + nginx + socket activation: > **[GitHub - eriksjolund/nextcloud-podman: Demo of running nextcloud with rootless podman....](https://github.com/eriksjolund/nextcloud-podman)** > > Demo of running nextcloud with rootless podman. Systemd services are generated from quadlets. Containers used: nextcloud, mariadb, redis, nginx But you could probably get it working by using caddy because caddy supports socket activation. I wrote some examples (not related to nextcloud) > **[GitHub - eriksjolund/podman-caddy-socket-activation: Demo of how to run socket-activated caddy with...](https://github.com/eriksjolund/podman-caddy-socket-activation)** > > Demo of how to run socket-activated caddy with Podman. Source IP address is preserved. ---
