Docker Automated build Docker Pulls

This is a nextcloud development environment stack for docker🚀

This is a php docker designed to be used with the compose file present in this repository. This is not designed to be a quick dev setup on the fly, but rather a semi-permanent setup. 💻 Built-in: phpunit, ldap, gd, imagick, APCu, redis, memcached...

We basically use the same nginx config than the documentation: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/installation/nginx.html Only the php-handler server is changed to the php container

How-to 🤔

  1. Download this repository and rename it the way you want
  2. Into the docker folder, clone nextcloud server
    git clone git@github.com:nextcloud/server.git
  3. Into the server folder, update the 3rdparty submodule: git submodule update --init
    cd server
    git submodule update --init
    cd ..
  4. Execute the stack: docker-compose up -d
  5. Access the nextcloud through https://localhost
  6. Go to the setup of your nextcloud, enter your desired username and your password
  7. Enjoy contributing! 🥂 🎉

Using https 🔐

  1. We now generate self signed certificates on start.
  2. Before starting it, you can edit the domain in the docker-compose.yml file, check for the omgwtfssl service.
  3. Currently the config is made to redirect all http traffic to https.
  4. You will see an error at first because the ssl certificates are not approved by a trust entity, this is all safe, you just generated them. Approve them manually on your browser and start using your dev stack 😉

Retrieve a container's IP 🌐

$ docker-compose exec web hostname -i
172.20.0.3

Install apps 👾

  • If you want to install apps, you can directly go into your apps management
  • but if you want to work on apps development, just clone their git repository into the apps2 folder (on the root, not on the server folder)

Change the database config 🙌

We use mariadb by default. If you don't want it, you can:

  1. Remove the db and phpmyadmin (if present) service form the compose file
  2. Remove the MYSQL environment params of the php service in the compose file
  3. Go to the setup of your nextcloud and choose the desired database

OCC commands ⌨

You can run any occ command with docker (example: upgrade)

$ docker-compose exec --user=docker php php occ upgrade

Phpunit ⛑

You can run the test you want with phpunit bootstrap

$ docker-compose exec --user=docker php phpunit --bootstrap tests/bootstrap.php tests/Core/Controller/ClientFlowLoginControllerTest.php

Or the full suite:

$ docker-compose exec php phpunit --configuration tests/phpunit-autotest.xml

Access and manage the database 🗃

If you used the default setup with mariadb, you can enable phpmyadmin directly.

  1. Uncomment the phpmyadmin service in your docker-compose file
  2. Run the service: docker-compose start phpmyadmin
  3. Retrieve phpmyadmin's IP: docker-compose exec phpmyadmin hostname -i (example: 172.20.0.4)
  4. Open your browser and access the ip directly (e.g. http://172.20.0.4/)
  5. Use your database root user (default user root, pass: rootpassword) The database default name is nextcloud

Quick smtp

Want a quick smtp server to test emails on nextcloud ?

  1. On your compose file, uncomment the smtp service and the smtp volume binding on the php service.
  2. Edit your smtp.config.php file and change the domain by your domain (make sure you've set your email in your nextcloud user account)
  3. Go on the nextcloud smtp settings and click the Send test email button!
  4. You've got mail! 📫

Troubleshooting

  • The files of the app (viewer) were not replaced correctly. Solution: execute git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/viewer.git in the apps2 directory
