Nextcloud with Postgres database

This example defines one of the base setups for Nextcloud. More details on how to further customize the installation and the compose file can be found on the official image page.

compose.yaml

services:
  nc:
    image: nextcloud:apache
    ports:
      - 80:80
    ...
  db:
    image: postgres:alpine
    ...

When deploying this setup, docker compose maps the nextcloud container port 80 to port 80 of the host as specified in the compose file.

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d
Creating network "nextcloud-postgres_default" with the default driver
Creating volume "nextcloud-postgres_nc_data" with default driver
Pulling nc (nextcloud:apache)...
....
....
Status: Downloaded newer image for postgres:alpine
Creating nextcloud-postgres_nc_1 ... done
Creating nextcloud-postgres_db_1 ... done

Expected result

Check containers are running and the port mapping:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                NAMES

Navigate to http://localhost:80 in your web browser to access the installed Nextcloud service.

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down
