Nextcloud AIO install with external storage

🚧 Installation
1

Hello

I have installed Nextcloud AIO using the below docker-compose

version: "3.8"

*olumes:
 nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:
   name: nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer
services:
 nextcloud:
   image: nextcloud/all-in-one:latest
   restart: unless-stopped
   container_name: nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer
   volumes:
     - nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config
     - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
   ports:
     - 8195:8080 # change the port on the left side if it's already in use on your host system.
   environment:
     - APACHE_PORT=11000  # change this port number if 11000 is already in use on your host system.
     - APACHE_DISABLE_REWRITE_IP=1
     - NEXTCLOUD_TRUSTED_DOMAINS=[my domain] 10.0.2.15 # Your domain name + proxy host IP
     - TRUSTED_PROXIES=10.0.2.15 # proxy host IP
     - NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR="/mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud/ncdata"
     - NEXTCLOUD_MOUNT="/mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud"

When I log onto NextCloud and create folders and documents they do not appear under the Nextcloud DataDirectory specified above.

I have run the below commands and restarted the nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer container

Sudo chown -R 33:0 /mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud/ncdata
sudo chmod -R 750 /mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud

Would really appreciate if somebody could help me resolve the issue. I am not 100% sure whether with Nextcloud AIO in order to allow the NextCloud container to access a storage directory on the host you have to use the External Storage app ? I have installed the External Storage app but when accessing the app I recieve "No external storage configured or you don’t have the permission to configure them (I am logged in as the administrator)

On the host itself the following permissions are set

drwxr-x— 6 www-data root 4096 Feb 26 13:49 /mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud/ncdata
drwxr-x— 3 root root 4096 Feb 26 13:47 /mnt/media/aekash_Nextcloud

Thanks
Aekash

Hi, did you already restart the containers from the AIO interface?

3

Hi,

I have, did it twice but still no joy…

4

I see. Did you already try sudo docker-compose down and sudo docker-compose up in the correct directory containing this docker-compose.yml file?

5

I have, I am using Portainer.

With NextCloud AIO do you have to use the external storage app to use local external storage ?

6

No, you don’t. Adjusting NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR to the desired path should indeed work. Can you post the output of sudo docker inspect nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer && sudo docker inspect nextcloud-aio-nextcloud ?

7

Sure

When I attempt to paste the output I get “An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put 4 links in a post”

I am unable to attach the output as an attachment as well

8

You should be able to put the output into 3 backticks:
```
your-content-here
```

9

Here you go…

Please note the values for both NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR and NEXTCLOUD_MOUNT are actually as per below as opposed to the original email I sent.

  • NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR=“/mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud/ncdata”
  • NEXTCLOUD_MOUNT=“/mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud”

Okay, the settings seem to be correctly appllied as you can see here:

        "Mounts": [
            {
                "Type": "bind",
                "Source": "/mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud/ncdata",
                "Destination": "/mnt/ncdata",
                "Destination": "/mnt/ncdata",
                "Mode": "rw",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": "rprivate"
            },

What exactly does not work for you?

I have created a folder and some documents and when I look at the local external storage location I do not see anything relating to what I have created i.e. the Test folder and the documents…

Can you post the output of sudo ls -al /mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud/ncdata

13

14

As you can see are the files in there. So everything seems to work as expected.

15

Is there a reason why I cannot see the files/ folders in the Nautilus File Manager ?

I have launched Nautilus File Manager as sudo and still cannot view the files/folders…

16

Yes, this is because you are opening the files with the user that you used to log in to ubuntu desktop which does not have read rights to this folder. You could use

xhost +si:localuser:root && sudo nautilus /mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud/ncdata

if you want to see them in Nautilus.

17

Thanks you have been a lot of help

one last question if I may

How do I ensure both sudo and a standard account can view the files and folders just launching File Manager ?

18

You could add your user to the group with gid 33. However I would usually not recommend to modify files or folders in the datadir via Nautilus directly as they might get out-of-sync with the database for Nextcloud and you might modify permissions in an incorrect way.

19

Thank you

I have run granted the account I am using to log into Ubuntu with full permissions by running the below command, however I still cannot view the folders or files. I have logged out and logged back in. I am able to create files and directories in in the folder but cannot view the files and folders which Nextcloud creates.

sudo chown -R administrator:administrator /mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud/ncdata

I basically want to be able to use the account I use to log into Ubuntu to view/ edit files etc i.e. have full permissions to the folder.

Do I need to make account administrator a member of group named www-data ?

Thanks
