Configure NextCloud Docker with nginx-proxy, MariaDB, Redis, LetsEncrypt and Cron Support

prepare_nextcloud_docker.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Create Nextcloud host directory structure, .env and docker-compose.yml files
# 2020 robertoschwald

# Consists of the following containers:
# nginx-proxy (frontend proxy)
# nginx-proxy-letsencrypt (LetsEncrypt issuing)
# nextcloud-app (Nextcloud application server)
# nextcloud-cron (Nextcloud cron server. Executes cron.php every few minutes)
# nextcloud-redis (Redis Server for Nextcloud file locking)
# nextcloud-mariadb (DB Server)

# All transaction data is stored on the Docker host, so you can take down / upgrade servers any time.

# Prerequisite
# For this script to work, you must at least have port 80 open to the internet, 
# so LetsEncrypt certificates can be created successfully.

# Arm based Docker servers (like Pi):
# If you use an ARM based system like the Raspberry Pi,
# use the "andrewmacheret/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion" image instead in letsencrypt-companion

##############
# KNOWN ISSUES
##############
# CentOS8 / RHEL8 /Fedora 29 Container DNS fails:
# Prepare firewalld, otherwise containers cannot access the internet for DNS
# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-masquerade --permanent
# firewall-cmd --reload
#
# cron.php not executed:
# Currently, the nextcloud-cron container executes cron.php, but this is not reflected in the nextcloud-app container
# See https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/issues/914
# Workaround:
# add file /etc/cron.d/nextcloud on the Docker host:
# */5 * * * * root docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php -f cron.php

##############
# Installation:
##############
# 1. Save this script
# 2. Modify the config section. The DATA_DIR is the toplevel host directory to store persisted files in.
# 3. Execute the script. This creates all directories and files needed
# 4. Create the docker networks manually. In this case, you can up / down the composables independently:
#    docker network create --driver bridge nginx-proxy
#    docker network create --driver bridge nextcloud
# 5. Execute 'docker-compose up -d' in the nginx-proxy/docker-build dir to startup the proxy with LE support
# 6. Execute 'docker-compose up -d' in the nextcloud/nextcloud-docker-build dir to startup all nextcloud containers.
# 7. After some minutes, you are able to access your installation with SSL cert installed.
# 8. Add missing indices and int values in db by executing the given occ commands.

# If you already have nginx-proxy running, you can skip step 4. Ensure to modify the nginx-proxy network name 
# in this case to the existing one.

# DO NOT FORGET TO SECURE THIS FILE (e.g. chmod 700 prepare_nextcloud_docker.sh)

# Config. Modify as needed!

Hi !
I solved the Redis problem by adding this in docker-compose.yml (redis service) :
command: redis-server --requirepass myPasswordRedis

Keep getting "Access through untrusted domain

Please contact your administrator. If you are an administrator, edit the "trusted_domains" setting in config/config.php like the example in config.sample.php."
When I enter the URL into my browser. The config.php file was empty. This is what baffles me about containers, I do not know which container to edit the config.php file. I have six containers running, nextcloud-cron, next cloud-app, nextcloud-mariadb, nextcloud-redis, nginx-proxy-letsencrypt and nginx-proxy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
