Notes

I entered the nextcloud-aio-nextcloud container and run curl from shell manuall:

~: # docker exec --user=www-data -ti nextcloud-aio-nextcloud curl https://nextcloud.schuerz.at/status.php
{"installed":true,"maintenance":false,"needsDbUpgrade":false,"ve...

and got back the status-page of the nextcloud i wanted to add as trusted server. So name-resolving and networking is ok inside the container. But NOT for php/nextcloud itself.

This is a fresh installation.

Thank you for help.

I think i could solve my problem.

I had this docker-compose.yaml

# cat docker-compose.yml 
---
services:
  nextcloud:
    image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - APACHE_PORT=11000
      - APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0
#      - APACHE_ADDITIONAL_NETWORK=""
      - SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=false  # This is required for this setup for local only
      - NC_DOMAIN=nc.schuerz.at
    volumes:
      - nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

volumes:
  nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:
    name: nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer


networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge
    driver_opts:
      com.docker.network.driver.mtu: 1450

and i found here all-in-one/compose.yaml at main · nextcloud/all-in-one · GitHub

that i should add the `ìnit: true` line.
Now my docker-compose.yml looks like this

# cat docker-compose.yml 
---
services:
  nextcloud:
    image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest
    init: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - APACHE_PORT=11000
      - APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0
#      - APACHE_ADDITIONAL_NETWORK=""
      - SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=false  # This is required for this setup for local only
      - NC_DOMAIN=nc.schuerz.at
    volumes:
      - nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

volumes:
  nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:
    name: nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer


networks:
  default:
    driver: bridge
    driver_opts:
      com.docker.network.driver.mtu: 1450

i only restarted the nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer container. The other still are running.
Now i can add trusted server for federation.
