## The Basics

- Nextcloud Server version _(e.g., 29.x.x)_:
  - **[Nextcloud Hub 10](https://nextcloud.com) (31.0.8)**

- Operating system and version _(e.g., Ubuntu 24.04)_:
  - Ubuntu 25.04 server

- Web server and version _(e.g, Apache 2.4.25)_:
  - `Whats shipped with nextcloud AIO` - Apache/2.4.65

- Reverse proxy and version \_(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
  - `Traefik 3.5.1`

- PHP version _(e.g, 8.3)_:
  - `Whats shipped with nextcloud AIO - `PHP 8.3.25

- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
  - `no`

- When did this problem seem to first start?
  - `When Nextcloud first ran and generated the security report`

- Installation method _(e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)_
  - `Docker AIO`

- Are you using CloudfIare, mod\_security, or similar? _(Yes / No)_
  - `Cloudflare`

### Summary of the issue you are facing:

Nextcloud security report shows the following message

Some headers are not set correctly on your instance - The `Strict-Transport-Security` HTTP header is not set to at least `15552000` seconds (current value: `2592000`). For enhanced security, it is recommended to use a long HSTS policy.

### Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

1. Log in as Admin.

2. The security report is generated and reports the above

What was done so far

Edited .htaccess to added at line 155

AddDefaultCharset utf-8  
Options -Indexes

#### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE #### ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/error/403 ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/error/404

Header always set Strict-Transport-Security “max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains; preload”  
Header set Referrer-Policy “no-referrer”

I’ve also added the following in my nextcloud middlewares

Neither works.

This is the traefik app-nextcloud.yml

```yaml
http:
  routers:
    nextcloud-rtr:
      rule: "Host(`nextcloud.{{env "DOMAINNAME_1"}}`)" 
      entryPoints:
        - websecure-external
        - websecure-internal
      middlewares:
        - chain-nextcloud-no-auth
      service: nextcloud-svc
      tls:
        certResolver: dns-cloudflare
        options: tls-opts@file
  services:
    nextcloud-svc:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://<vm_ip_address>:11000" # http://IP-ADDRESS:PORT

```

chain-nextcloud-no-auth

```yaml
http:
  middlewares:
    chain-nextcloud-no-auth:
      chain:
        middlewares:
          - middlewares-rate-limit
          - nextcloud-secure-headers
          #- nextcloud-middlewares-secure-headers
          # - middlewares-compress

```

middlewares-nextcloud-secure-headers

```yaml
http:
  middlewares:
    nextcloud-secure-headers:
      headers:
        hostsProxyHeaders:
          - "X-Forwarded-Host"
        referrerPolicy: "same-origin"
        customResponseHeaders:
          X-Robots-Tag: "noindex, nofollow"
          Strict-Transport-Security: "max-age=15552000
          Permissions-Policy: "geolocation=(self), microphone=(), camera=(), fullscreen=*"
          stsSeconds: "15552000"
          stsIncludeSubdomains: "true"
          stsSTSPreload: "true"
    https-redirect:
      redirectscheme:
        scheme: https
        permanent: true

```

### Log entries

#### Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the _Copy raw_ option from _Administration settings-\>Logging_ screen or from your `nextcloud.log` located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

```auto
This is the closest error I could find
RuntimeException The loading of lazy AppConfig values have been triggered by app "admin_audit"

```

#### Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector _Console_ and _Network_ tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

```auto
PASTE

```

#### Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in `/var/log/ ____ `:

```auto
no references to Strict-Transport-Security in traefik logs.

```

### Configuration

#### Nextcloud

The output of `occ config:list system` or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your `config.php` file from `/path/to/nextcloud` is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

```bash
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/occ config:list system

### Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

- Use the `preformatted text` formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
- If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
  - If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.

- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

I have. If it was helpful I would not have created the ticket.

If a review of the amount of tickets with the same question was done you would see that the standard answer offers no assistance.

So you did not see this?

- If you get an error in Nextcloud’s admin overview that the HSTS header is not set correctly, you might need to enable it in Cloudflare manually.
