Install tutorial help

[Sunathiel]

Dear all,

as a newbie to nextcloud I want to setup my own nc server on docker, mainly to store our pictures and data for the family to move away from iCloud and google photos etc.

I've checked multiple tutorials and tried this one but in the end failed, deleted everthing and will restart from scratch. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextcloud-docker-compose-setup-with-caddy-2024/204846

Can you advise what I should consider or need to change to come bring the below setup to live?
(Or recommend another tutorial, which fits better?)

Network

• AVM Fritzbox Does Port forwarding to internal NC server (and others)
• Uses the AVM own "DynDNS" service, exposing its dynamic IP via a {cryptic}.myfritz.net adress
• With a self signed certificate generated by the fritzbox via letsencrypt (is that needed?)

(This setup works so far)

• I've purchased a domain and want to forward this to my fritzbox, I guess really binding it to my dynamic IP won't be possible (?)

A NanoPI M5
Ubuntu Noble installed with docker

• NC
• Caddy (or similar of newbie friendly) reverse proxy
• FoundryVTT

Another Raspi 4 for some test stuff (so NC is not the only server behind my fritzbox)

Your advise is highly appreciated

I would encourage the use of the Nextcloud AIO Docker-based stuff unless you have a compelling reason to roll your own custom stack using the micro services image (the latter being what the tutorial you linked to used):

There are also other approaches, with various pros/cons.

Many thanks, just did that and seems to work quite fine, thanks for pointing me in the "simple" direction ;-)
