Summary of the issue you are facing:
Recently installed Nextcloud and it is complaining, in the Overview
section of the Administration
settings, that I am “Accessing the server insecurely via HTTP” while the connection has a padlock indicating HTTPS (and the URL bar shows HTTPS), as shown below:
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Install Nextcloud with PostgreSQL DB, Using this compose file (through Portainer):
name: nextcloud
services:
nextcloud:
image: nextcloud:latest
container_name: "nextcloud"
ports:
- "10081:80"
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- nextcloud
volumes:
- /Containers/Nextcloud/apps:/var/www/html/apps
- /Containers/Nextcloud/config:/var/www/html/config
- /Containers/Nextcloud/data:/var/www/html/data
depends_on:
- ncdb
ncdb:
image: postgres
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: "nextcloud-postges"
networks:
- nextcloud
shm_size: 128mb
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: nextcloud
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: nextcloud
POSTGRES_DB: ncdb
PGDATA: "/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata"
volumes:
- "/Containers/Nextcloud/postgresdb:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata"
networks:
nextcloud:
driver: bridge
- Install Nginx Proxy Manager (With portainer using stacks) with this compose file :
services:
app:
image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
container_name: "nginx-proxy-manager"
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- '80:80' # Public HTTP Port
- '443:443' # Public HTTPS Port
- '81:81' # Admin Web Port
extra_hosts:
- "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
volumes:
- /Containers/nginxproxy/data:/data
- /Containers/nginxproxy/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
- Configure Nginx Proxy Manager with :
- A Let’sEncrypt certificate for your domain
- A Proxy Host that directs “http://192.168.1.xxx” port
10081
(or any port your Nextcloud uses) tonextcloud.domain.org
, a domain registered through Cloudflare, and the subdomainnextcloud
is a CNAME record pointing todomain.org
, proxied through Cloudflare
-
Access Nextcloud with
nextcloud.domain.com
and set it up, with the Postgres DB, and options specified in the Compose file (DB works fine) -
Go to
Settings
→Administration
→Overview
-
Look at the errors the setup detects, and notice the complaint, written in red, about accessing through HTTP, while your browser assures you you’re using HTTPS:
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.

Web Browser [UNRELATED]
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.
No relevant output
Web server / Reverse Proxy
The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____
:

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

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.
