Nextcloud
A self-hosted Nextcloud file sync and collaboration platform fronted by Nginx and backed by MariaDB and Redis. The Nextcloud FPM image runs the PHP application while Nginx serves static assets and proxies PHP requests, providing better performance than the all-in-one Apache image. MariaDB 11.4 stores all user data, file metadata, and application state, while Redis 7 handles transactional file locking and memory caching to reduce database load. All user files are persisted in a dedicated named volume and the frontend/backend network separation ensures the database and cache are not publicly accessible. Health checks on every service guarantee correct startup ordering and readiness.

When to Use
This template is ideal for setting up a nextcloud environment. All services are pre-configured with healthchecks, resource limits, and sensible defaults. Customize environment variables before deploying to production.
Tips
- Change all default passwords before deploying
- Review resource limits for your hardware
- Add a reverse proxy for production HTTPS
- Configure backup strategies for data volumes
