NextCloud und nginx: Fehler mit webfinger und WebDAV

Hallo,

ich versuche eine saubere Installation der NextCloud unter nginx hinzubekommen. Mit apache2 und NextCloud habe ich über die Jahre einiges an Erfahrungen und Wissen aufgebaut. Aber ich will meine NextCloud-Installationen auf nginx umziehen und suche nach der funktionierenden Musterlösung mit ISPConfig (d.h., ich brauche nur die ausreichenden Direktiven und nicht die komplette Webserver-Konfiguration).

Zwar funktioniert mit der Konfiguration (s.u.) das Nötige (Dateien hochladen auch mit drag’n&drop, Dateien teilen/kopieren/verschieben/löschen, Dateien herunterladen).
Aber Zugriff via App (Android) wird verweigert.
Die beiden Fehlermeldungen verunsichern mich. Ich scheitere im Moment an diesen zwei Fehlermeldungen:

Laut NGINX configuration — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation gibt es den Eintrag für .well-known webfinger nicht, trotzdem wird er hier genannt.
Die Meldung bzgl. trusted_domains und overwrite.cli.url bringt mich auch nicht weiter, da in der config/config.php (mit verschiedenen Varianten ausprobiert) berücksichtigt. Die Andeutung, dass DNS oder Firewall ein Problem sein könnten, kann ich mit großer Sicherheit ausschließen.

Ist es ein Bug und mit der nächsten Version ist diese Meldung weg?
Kann NextCloud nicht mit nginx betrieben werden?

Konfiguration:

  • Neuer Server eingerichtet, mit Debian 12.8, PHP8.3, nginx 1.22.1, MariaDB/MySQL, Redis-Server etc. UND ISPConfig
  • NextCloud-Installation Version 30.0.4.1
  • PHP-Einstellungen:
memory_limit = 512M

That line in your config.php looks like you are hosting Nextcloud in a subfolder.
The nginx configuration looks like you are hosting Nextcloud in webroot, though.

Thank you for your answer and suggestion. :slight_smile:

I did it with the subfolder in the config.php & directive and without. I tested everything. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help.

For comparison, I installed a new test server with apache2 and all other current packages (PHP, Redis, …). Result: everything basically worked immediately, without error messages.

Conclusion:

My research, inquiries and tests show that NextCloud and nginx do not work together in standardized environments. NextCloud often does not seem to recognize that the required settings have been made and are actually present.

This is the end of the matter for me until further notice.

It took a lot of time to get this result, but now I know that I should not migrate my existing NextCloud/apache2 installations to NextCloud/nginx.
