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 ‘’)”
Honestly don’t need SSL. And I will try that localhost.local when I get back to my server. Thanks.
I don’t think
localhost.localwould resolve from inside nextcloud docker container. If that’s the case, just trylocalhostinstead.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_hostssettings to addlocalhost.localextra_hosts: - "localhost.local:127.0.0.1"Then, you can also add
localhost.localto your host machine’s/etc/hostsfile if it’s also not resolvinglocalhost.localThere’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.
