I have NextCloud installed via Ubuntu Snap. But I want to take the docker route instead. Every “how to” only shows how to set it up with reverse proxy configuration. I need to be able to do this without it. Any help?

Update: Figured it out! Made a domain name in Cloudflare Tunnels that point to https://localhost:11000. Then on NextCloud aio domain verification, I put the domain name that I made.

      I tried the all in one a few times. I run it from localhost:8080 and the NextCloud setup keeps asking me to put in a domain name. I just want to be able to run from localhost with no domain needed.

        You should be able to just run the docker container and expose port 8080, then visit http://localhost:8080 to complete the setup. You won’t have SSL or anything though. If it still asks for domain name, maybe you can put in localhost.local ?

          Does not work. This comes up:

          “DNS config is not set for this domain or the domain is not a valid domain! (It was found to be set to ‘’)”

            I don’t think localhost.local would resolve from inside nextcloud docker container. If that’s the case, just try localhost instead.

              Localhost definitely won’t work because I will get the error “Domain must contain at least one dot!”.

                If you’re using docker compose, maybe you can use extra_hosts settings to add localhost.local

                extra_hosts:
  - "localhost.local:127.0.0.1"

                Then, you can also add localhost.local to your host machine’s /etc/hostsfile if it’s also not resolving localhost.local

            There’s environment entry to disable domain check but it’ll not run as you must configure reverse proxy at least to get the certificate. I spent 3 hours yesterday until I gave up and removed it.

            It’s kinda misleading stating it can run locally with no reverse proxy without mentioning it’s necessary to complete the installation process.
