Nextcloud is a PHP-based application which requires an HTTP server
|
|
(<literal><link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.enable">services.nextcloud</link></literal>
|
|
optionally supports
|
|
<literal><link linkend="opt-services.nginx.enable">services.nginx</link></literal>)
|
|
and a database (it's recommended to use
|
|
<literal><link linkend="opt-services.postgresql.enable">services.postgresql</link></literal>).
|

</para>

A very basic configuration may look like this:
|
|
<programlisting>{ pkgs, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
services.nextcloud = {
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.enable">enable</link> = true;
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.hostName">hostName</link> = "nextcloud.tld";
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.nginx.enable">nginx.enable</link> = true;
|
|
config = {
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbtype">dbtype</link> = "pgsql";
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbuser">dbuser</link> = "nextcloud";
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbhost">dbhost</link> = "/run/postgresql"; # nextcloud will add /.s.PGSQL.5432 by itself
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.dbname">dbname</link> = "nextcloud";
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.adminpassFile">adminpassFile</link> = "/path/to/admin-pass-file";
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.adminuser">adminuser</link> = "root";
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
services.postgresql = {
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.postgresql.enable">enable</link> = true;
|
|
<link linkend="opt-services.postgresql.initialScript">initialScript</link> = pkgs.writeText "psql-init" ''
|

CREATE ROLE nextcloud WITH LOGIN;

'';

};
|

|

systemd.services."nextcloud-setup" = {
|

requires = ["postgresql.service"];
|

after = ["postgresql.service"];
|

The options <literal>hostName</literal> and <literal>nginx.enable</literal>
|
|
are used internally to configure an HTTP server using
|
|
<literal><link xlink:href="https://php-fpm.org/">PHP-FPM</link></literal>
|
|
and <literal>nginx</literal>. The <literal>config</literal> attribute set is
|
|
used for the <literal>config.php</literal> which is used for the
|
|
application's configuration. <emphasis>Beware: this isn't entirely pure
|
|
since the config is modified by the application's runtime!</emphasis>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|

In case the application serves multiple hosts (those are checked with
|
|
<literal><link xlink:href="http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php">$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']</link></literal>)
|
|
those can be added using
|
|
<literal><link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains">services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains</link></literal>.

Unfortunately Nextcloud appears to be very stateful when it comes to
|
|
managing its own configuration. The config file lives in the home directory
|
|
of the <literal>nextcloud</literal> user (by default
|
|
<literal>/var/lib/nextcloud/config/config.php</literal>) and is also used to
|
|
track several states of the application (e.g. whether installed or not).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Right now changes to the <literal>services.nextcloud.config</literal>
|
|
attribute set won't take effect after the first install (except
|
|
<literal><link linkend="opt-services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains">services.nextcloud.config.extraTrustedDomains</link></literal>)
|
|
since the actual configuration file is generated by the NextCloud installer
|
|
which also sets up critical parts such as the database structure.

The issues are known and reported in
|
|
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/49783">#49783</link>,
|
|
for now it's unfortunately necessary to manually work around these issues.
