Nextcloud docker updates when using smbclient

bnabled · April 5, 2020, 4:15pm

Hi there,

I need to use smbclient for my external drivers and had set it up succesfully in 18.0.2. Now I need/want to update to 18.0.3. The official way to do this is by pulling the new docker image. This means, however, that after every update I need to go back in to re-download the smbclient, right?

Is this really the right way to to things or is there a better way? I tried to web-updater, but seems that in docker image there is no “updater” folder so it doesn’t work. Also the updater.phar does nothing ("Command “updater.phar” is not defined. " to be exact).

you could write your own Dockerfile. if know which Dockerfile was used to build your image you download and modifiy it.

e.g. take this one and add the smbclient module

          \
          debMultiarch="$(dpkg-architecture --query DEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH)"; \
          if [ ! -e /usr/include/gmp.h ]; then ln -s /usr/include/$debMultiarch/gmp.h /usr/include/gmp.h; fi;\

They provide an official example of a Dockerfile to add SMB support. This is explained here under Adding Features and there is a link to several example Dockerfiles.

Basically you will change your docker-compose file so that it will pull the new version and then repeat the addition of SMB support. Updating is pretty easy then.
