Nextcloud AIO - domain setup issue

ℹ️ Support
1

I’m trying to setup Nextcloud AIO and I get to the point where it asks to submit the domain, but when I input my domain it tells me that the container cannot access port 443.

I have ports 80, 443 and 8443 forwarded in my router, I have all three ports opening in my firewall. I do have an issue with NAT loopback in my router so I have a line in my hosts file pointing to the local ip.

I’ve tried to install DNSmasq on the server as well.

When i check ports 443 and 8443 with portchecker.co from the linux server it tells me both ports are open.

I’ve read the github several times.

I’ve tried to use the --env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true which allows me to bypass that but then I cannot access my nextcloud instance outside of the local network.

I really hope someone can help because I am completely lost at this point.

Thanks,
Robert

Hello Robert,
unfortunatelly you did not the offered Support Template, so we cannot help you at the moment.

Well the support template seems to be geared towards someone who has Nextcloud up and running to an extent. I cannot find where to get logs etc.

    • four spaces indent or single backticks around for short log examples:short log snippet with intent
      short log snippet with single backticks
    • Or for longer logs, use three backticks before and after code snippet:
longer log output
example
can be formatted with 3 back-ticks around the sample

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

system information

  • if you have systeminfo app installed you will find the required data on https://{your nextcloud}/settings/admin/serverinfo
  • collect anonymized system report using https://{your nextcloud}/settings/admin/support
A B
Nextcloud version (eg, 26.0.1): 29?
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 22.04): Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): not available
PHP version (eg, 8.1): not available
Database (sqlite or MariaDB or Postgres) not available
Docker (compose) 27.0.3
Snap
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? yes

The issue you are facing:

  • Steps to replicate it:
  1. Port Forward ports 80, 443 & 8443 in my router
  2. Open the same ports in UFW
  3. Setup Nextcloud AIO docker container with the following script ! /bin/bash

For Linux and without a web server or reverse proxy (like Apache, Nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel and else) already in place:

sudo docker run
–sig-proxy=false
–name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer
–restart always
–publish 80:80
–publish 8080:8080
–publish 8443:8443
–volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config
–volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
–env NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR=“/mnt/ncdata”
nextcloud/all-in-one:latest

  1. Log into ip:8080
  2. Type in domain in “Submit Domain” box
  3. See error “The domain is not reachable on Port 443 from within this container. Have you opened port 443/tcp in your router/firewall? If yes is the problem most likely that the router or firewall forbids local access to your domain. You can work around that by setting up a local DNS-server.”

Initial startup of Nextcloud All-in-One complete!
You should be able to open the Nextcloud AIO Interface now on port 8080 of this server!
E.g. https://internal.ip.of.this.server:8080
⚠️ Important: do always use an ip-address if you access this port and not a domain as HSTS might block access to it later!

If your server has port 80 and 8443 open and you point a domain to your server, you can get a valid certificate automatically by opening the Nextcloud AIO Interface via:
https://your-domain-that-points-to-this-server.tld:8443

I don’t see any problem. Just follow the instructions in the support template to get the necessary information.
Because you only have access to your Nextcloud from internal network, you will need to get the information from internal network.

In the report you also will find the paths to the logs and config.php

6

Oh ok…you suggest I use the the --env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true and then post. Ok I will do that.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi, can you try to open the nextcloud domain from a different network, e.g. via mobile network?

8

YOU ARE AMAZING! I totally forgot that I have this weird Nat Loopback issue with my router. We have all the computers with modified hosts files, but not the phone I was trying to access the cloud with. Once I left the local network, I was able to connect.

Thanks again, and sorry for my lack of insight.

You should solve the loopback-problem.
Just check user-guide and knowledge database of your router-manufacturer.

10

Yeah, unfortunately I’ve looked into this already and the version of my router doesn’t allow hairpining / nat loopback. I’ve had to modify all the hosts files on our lan to point to the cloud server.

11

Is there a firmware-update available? - Sometimes the vendors add new features to it.

12

Naw, its an old TPlink Archer C7 rev. 2. They haven’t put out a firmware update in years. Ultimately at some point we will have to upgrade our router.

13

Yes, it may be recommened, because it has lacks of security, which do not become fixed anymore.
As I see it right, the last firmware update was dated 2022, but published CVE reports published last year seem not to be fixed anymore.

TP Link very often is reported as insecure.

14

I might look at installing OpenWRT on it in the meantime.
