Nextcloud for OpenShift 3

This repository contains an OpenShift 3 template to easily deploy Nextcloud on OpenShift. With this template it's possible to run your own Nextcloud instance f.e. on APPUiO.

Installation

0 Create OpenShift project

Create an OpenShift project if not already provided by the service

PROJECT=nextcloud
oc new-project $PROJECT

1 Deploy Database

oc -n openshift process mariadb-persistent -p MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud | oc -n $PROJECT create -f -

2 Deploy Nextcloud

oc process -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobru/nextcloud-openshift/master/nextcloud.yaml -p NEXTCLOUD_HOST=nextcloud.example.com | oc -n $PROJECT create -f -

Template parameters

Execute the following command to get the available parameters:

oc process -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobru/nextcloud-openshift/master/nextcloud.yaml --parameters

3 Configure Nextcloud

  • Navigate to http://nextcloud.example.com
  • Fill in the form and finish the installation. The DB credentials can be found in the secret mariadb. In the Webconsole it can be found under Resources -> Secrets -> mariadb -> Reveal Secret

Hints

  • You might want to enable TLS for your instance

Backup

Database

You can use the provided DB dump CronJob template:

oc process -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobru/nextcloud-openshift/master/mariadb-backup.yaml | oc -n MYNAMESPACE create -f -

This script dumps the DB to the same PV as the database stores it's data. You must make sure that you copy these files away to a real backup location.

Files

To backup files, a simple solution would be to run f.e. restic in a Pod as a CronJob and mount the PVCs as volumes. Then use an S3 endpoint for restic to backup data to.

Notes

  • Nextcloud Cronjob is called from a CronJob object every 15 minutes
  • The Dockerfile just add the nginx.conf to the Alpine Nginx container

To use the occ CLI, you can use oc exec:

oc get pods
oc exec NEXTCLOUDPOD -c nextcloud -ti php occ

Ideas

  • Use sclorg Nginx instead of Alpine Nginx for better OpenShift compatibility
  • Autoconfigure Nextcloud using autoconfig.php
  • Provide restic Backup example
