Just deployed using portainer/docker/synology.

I set the NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR, as suggested, to “/volume1/docker/nextcloud/data” and created the dir and did the chown. The log fills up with these errors:

Hello, the documentation is unfortunately currently already done for the new release which is still beta. You can switch to that by using nextcloud/all-in-one:beta instead of nextcloud/all-in-one:latest and switch back to latest as soon as the stable release is out.

Now I am getting this error:

You've set NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR but not to an allowed value.
The string must start with '/' and must not be equal to '/'.
It is set to '"/volume1/docker/nextcloud/data"'.

The comment indicates that the " is accepted.
I’ll try un-quoted…

That gets me back to the login/setup. However, I am getting this error:

The application could not run because of the following error:

I was getting that error consistently with :latest before I tried adding the NEXTCLOUD_DATADIR.

7

I see now what the problem is. You do need to follow the reverse proxy dokumentation since port 443 seens to be already in use on your server.

8

443 is not in use. I use macvlan to allocate a distinct/dedicated IP address. Nothing will be there.
To confirm, I did a ping ... on that IP, which responded, and then shutdown the container, and the ping stopped, as expected.

9

Could this have anything to do with it?

AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.3.132. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

This?

{"level":"error","ts":1652168999.4591758,"msg":"unable to create folder for config autosave","dir":"/var/www/.config/caddy","error":"mkdir /var/www/.config: permission denied"}
11

So then for a test can you try to remove the macvlan option from your compose file?

12

Removing the macvlan settings might already fix the startup problems.

13

I switched to using the direct docker invokation (tweaked to fit with port constraints):

docker run -it \
--name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer \
--restart always \
-p 6080:80 \
-p 8080:8080 \
-p 6443:8443 \
--volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \
nextcloud/all-in-one:latest

This gives me the same error.

14

This command looks good in general. Are you completely sure that port 443 is not already in use on that host?

15

I am totally sure that 443 is in use on the nas.
I am totally sure that 443 is not used on the macvlan IP I was attempting to deploy to.

The problem is that the 443 port is used on a back-end private network which is bridged with various containers spun up by AIO. It is not used by the AIO container itself, which is part of the reason I was confused.

I am less confused now. At least in regards to this.
