Nextcloud fpm: No response, no logs

Hello,
I hope this is easy to answer for someone who knows how Nextcloud in Docker works. I am trying to set up a new Nextcloud instance for the first time, using the fpm Docker image with host PostgreSQL. I am unable to view the Nextcloud page when connecting directly to 9000 as well as when using the host Apache as proxy. What am I doing wrong? I am not able to find any error logs from Nextcloud itself. I appreciate your help.

Version info

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): docker nextcloud fpm fd6a1a699928 2 days ago 958MB
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Fedora 35
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.51 (Fedora)
PHP version (eg, 7.4): I did not manually install PHP anywhere

docker-compose.yml 
version: '3.8'

volumes:
  nextcloud:
    external: true

services:
  app:
    image: nextcloud:fpm
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 9000:9000

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging: Nextcloud not opening

The output of your config.php file in /path/to/nextcloud (make sure you remove any identifiable information!): I am unable to find a file called “config.php” in my container. However I have made no change to any config file beyond the docker compose yml.

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____: “/var/log/httpd/error_log” on the host

[Mon Dec 06 15:38:33.040493 2021] [proxy:error] [pid 291441:tid 291492] (13)Permission denied: AH00957: http: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:9000 (localhost) failed

Thanks for reading, hope to solve this. I try to have a basic setup and with Nextcloud in Docker and all other services provided by the host.

you always need an additional nginx webserver. the fpm container will only process php code. no static html and or css. (more or less)

see the example docker-compose files. e.g.: docker/docker-compose.yml at master · nextcloud/docker · GitHub

Ok I will then use the default nextcloud image, and use my Apache as HTTPS proxy. I will report back how it goes and then accept the solution. Thanks for your reply!

I initially chose the fpm image, because I understood from the Docker description that it is meant to be used with any additional web server and I wanted to use my Apache anyway for HTTPS. Now I learned that this only should be used with the nginx container.
