Nextcloud with Portainer & nginx proxy manager

Learn how to ditch google and have your own open source drive.

Hello, today I’m going to teach how to install Nextcloud on a Debian machine, using Portainer to manage all your docker containers and nginx proxy manager, to have SSL connection.

For those who don’t know about Nextcloud, I highly recommend taking a look at their page. It is an open source software that enables you to handle your data, for those who have concerns about privacy, and do not trust google, apple … Nextcloud provides a way to you store your files and photos, manage your calendar, save contacts and much more… And it is free.

I will provide a GitHub with all the files you need to set up your Nextcloud instance.

For this tutorial, I’m assuming that you have already a domain and have set up your subdomains in your VPS manager.

Before we start, you need to open connections for ports, in your firewall.

• 81
• 9000
• 8080

After we set up nginx, we can close the connection on those ports and use only the subdomain that we will set up on nginx proxy manager.
