Ok, so I did as such, I stopped all containers, deleted the network and set it up with a custom MTU with the following docker-compose
name: nextcloud-aio # Add the container to the same compose project like all the sibling containers are added to automatically.
services:
nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer:
image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:latest # This is the container image used. You can switch to ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/all-in-one:beta if you want to help testing new releases. See https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-switch-the-channel
init: true # This setting makes sure that signals from main process inside the container are correctly forwarded to children. See https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#init
restart: unless-stopped # This makes sure that the container starts always together with the host OS. See https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#restart
container_name: nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer # This line is not allowed to be changed as otherwise AIO will not work correctly
volumes:
- nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config # This line is not allowed to be changed as otherwise the built-in backup solution will not work
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro # May be changed on macOS, Windows or docker rootless. See the applicable documentation. If adjusting, don't forget to also set 'WATCHTOWER_DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH'!
# network_mode: bridge # This adds the container to the same network as docker run would do. Comment this line and uncomment the line below and the networks section at the end of the file if you want to define a custom MTU size for the docker network

it didn’t do much, same behavior, it gets stuck starting containers, there’s no logs detailing why either, it gets stuck here:
if I refresh, it’s always failing at the last few containers
The Master Container’s logs don’t give much help, they look like this:
2026-04-03T01:17:45.824770262Z Trying to fix docker.sock permissions internally...

2026-04-03T01:17:48.264454122Z ⚠️ Important: do always use an ip-address if you access this port and not a domain as HSTS might block access to it later!

2026-04-03T01:17:48.264468359Z 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:

similarly, the logs for the other containers that are running look normal, some of them are waiting for the nextcloud and apache servers and that’s the only thing they complain about, any idea where there may be logs for this issue?
