Nextcloud AIO seperate data folder with Portainer

[Byter]

I decided to run NC-AIO on an ubuntu server in a VM on Proxmox and pass my mass storage device directly to the guest VM from the hypervisior. I’m also planning to use Portainer since I’m not a too experienced linux admin and it gives a little visual aid for me.

Long story short,

Could you help me, where in the docker compose file should I specify the nextcloud (user)data directory?
I guess this line:

-e NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR="/mnt/raid1" \

I’m using this compose file as a template in Portainer:

https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/blob/main/compose.yaml

Thanks in advance!

Nextcloud AIO - Data Directory

Hi I would like to setup NextCloud using AIO and use a specific directory on my host as the data directory. I have added a second disk to the host and have created a folder called BhujMandir-Nextcloud-data (/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud-data) What I am confused on is Do I need to add both the below environment variables ? NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR=“/mnt/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud-data” NEXTCLOUD_MOUNT=“/mnt/media/” And do I need to use “/mnt/” prior to “/media/BhujMandir_Nextcloud-data” ? Th…

Still not sure about where to put it in the compose file.

-e NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR="/mnt/raid1" \

Did you try this? Seems fine since it is where you specify the data directory; set the location to where makes sense on your partition scheme. Check permissions as needed.

LoL. Thanks, but I can assure you I’m not. I gather what I need, but only self thought. I don’t have any issues, I just don’t know where to put in the compose file.
Should I uncomment the line 13.

    # environment: # Is needed when using any of the options below

and put hte line under it uncommented?

- NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR=/mnt/ncdata

I’m referncing this:
