Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Persistent storage should never be used for logging in docker. Nextcloud is one of the worst offenders of breaking docker conventions I've found, this is just one of the many ways they prove they don't understand docker.
Logs should simply be logged to stdout, which will be read by docker or by a logging framework. There should never be "log files" for a container, as it should be immutable, with persistent volumes only being used for configuration or application state.
The AIO container is so terrible, like, that's not how you're supposed to use Docker.
It's unclear whether OP was using that or saner community containers, might just be the AIO one.
I have lost now not hours, but days debugging their terrible AIO container. Live production code stored in persistent volumes. Scattered files around the main drive in seemingly arbitrary locations. Environment variables that are consistently ignored/overrided. It's probably my number one example of worst docker containers and what not to do when designing your container.
Yeah, their AIO setup is just bad, the more "traditional" and community supported docker compose files work well, I've been using them for years. They're not perfect, but work well. Nextcloud is not bad per se, but just avoid their AIO docker.
I’ve only ever used the AIO and it’s the only one of my problem containers out of about 30. Would you mind pointing me to some decent community compose files? Thanks!!
