Summary of the issue you are facing:
Nextcloud AIO /containers page shows all containers as “Starting”, with a yellow dot. Except for the Fulltextsearch, which is Stopped red (due to me stopping it, after I realised I had installed it despite my platform not supporting Seccomp, but the “Optional containers” checkbox being greyed out even when it’s stopped).
Many of these containers show as green/healthy in the DSM Container Manager
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Start the aio mastercontainer through the DSM Container Manager UI
-
Proceed through the web UI, specifying desired apps

2025-12-21T13:21:30.527970567Z 7:C 21 Dec 2025 23:21:30.527 # WARNING Memory overcommit must be enabled! Without it, a background save or replication may fail under low memory condition. Being disabled, it can also cause failures without low memory condition, see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1328. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

I don’t think these are causing my current problem, but I suspect they may be an issue later…
Configuration
Nextcloud
My AIO compose.yaml file:
name: nextcloud-aio
services:
nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer:
image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest
init: true
restart: always
container_name: nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer
volumes:
- nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config
- /run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
network_mode: bridge
ports:
- 8080:8080
environment:
APACHE_PORT: 11000
APACHE_IP_BINDING: 127.0.0.1
DOCKER_API_VERSION: 1.43 # As far as I can tell, this is the version supported on Synology when running "docker version | grep API"
NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR: /volume1/nextcloud
WATCHTOWER_DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH: /run/docker.sock
COLLABORA_SECCOMP_DISABLED: true
volumes:
nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:
name: nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer
I don’t know where to run occ as recommended. execing into the nextcloud-aio-nextcloud container gives occ: not found, as does the mastercontainer.
Apps
- Collabora (with seccomp disabled)
- Fulltextsearch (because I made a mistake and can’t turn it off)
- Imaginary
- Whiteboard
