Docker compose for nextcloud? I cannot get it to run on my fedora server and it can’t access the db…

Password is right in compose and config. Idk what else to do.

If you use the links: element in the nextcloud service, the services listed there will be available using their hostnames. On the Nextcloud setup screen, choose mysql as the database engine, use db as the database host, and enter matching values into the other fields.
- Thanks for sharing!
Sorry I can't really help, but can commiserate. Nextcloud is the one service I've never gotten to run right. Not sure if its gotten any better but a year or two ago I was trying and just wasn't getting consistent results from it.
- I never had problems before but if you haven't tried the All In One Install (the officially recommended way to install), then give that a go. You don't have to worry about caching and databases and things. It all runs on docker.
  And just in case, the AIO container creates new docker containers so if you need to provision docker network access for a reverse proxy then make sure you've got it on the right container.
  
  I've tried the AIO container. The issue I've had is that I already have a file system for documents and try to attach it as a network drive, it's at this point everything falls apart (not to mention just generally slow performance).
Post the config in a gist or something
Have you tried the nextcloud-aio image makes things a lot easier
- I read that is limited, do you know in what way?
  
  Where did you read that?
  I'd say it's opinionated. You run it and you can use the provided settings but you don't get a lot of opportunity to set things up differently.
  But it is a lot easier than it used to be to stand up a Nextcloud instance that works without issue.
  You can also export and import data and accounts so it's pretty low risk to just give it a go.
Have you tried linuxserver.io’s image?
https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-nextcloud/
It’s much easier to get working.
Watch a truenas setup for it snd compare the permissions maybe? I got it working on my truenas server but it takes a long time to spin up so it seemed borked but was just slow to start. Not directly comparable, I know, but any port in a storm.
