Nextcloud AIO locally without a domain?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to install Nextcloud AIO in Docker without a domain.

I came across a previous response on this, but I’m specifically curious—would it still not work if I’m only using Nextcloud locally?

You could use tailscale if you dont have a domain yet: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/5439

Hi, thank you.
I actually don´´t need to access Nextcloud out of the local network, I would only install it as a test on the local network where other PCs from the local network only would then access it`s files.

I would just like to know if that in theory is possible and then I would try to figure it out with Chat gpt :slight_smile:

Hi Tjasa,
If you’re planning on installing it on Docker, I found that LinuxServer.io, (who are a group that host a large selection of open source images that have been custom-built for easy-configuring through a Docker Compose file), have made a locally-hostable image available on the Docker Hub.

Hi,

You can give the snap deployment a try… It doesn’t have any such mandatory domain related requirements and works fine with Local LAN / WAN or even, if needed Public IP address.

On a clean Ubuntu LTS, it’s just three commands,

  1. sudo snap install nextcloud

  2. sudo nextcloud.manual-install user password → replace the username and password with your own desire

  3. sudo nextcloud.occ config:system:set trusted_domains 1 --value=192.168.1.30 → Replace the IP address with your own Server’s / VM’s local LAN IP

Your netxtcloud is now working and can be accessed via browser or Nextcloud applications at URL http://192.168.1.30 (Replace that IP with your server / VM local LAN IP)

Thanks.

sadly chatgpt will not work with a snap install see this issue

Hi,

OP can explain it better but reading the post, it seems OP is using Chat GTP for instruction on how to deploy the Nextcloud for local access only…

Thanks.

Then you can setup your own private top level domain in your name server and add domains as many as you want, like nextcloud.lan or testcloud.lan or whatever.lan.
