Nextcloud¶

Files and collaboration. Runs as its own VM using the All-in-One (AIO) appliance image, which bundles the office/Talk/imaginary sidecars, rather than as Swarm containers — kept off the Swarm for the same reason as Pi-hole: an appliance this central shouldn't share fate with Swarm maintenance.


Runtime	VM (Proxmox), cloud-init template
Node	pve
IP	`10.36.0.12`
MAC (net0)	`bc:24:11:60:83:3b` (see Network)
Image	`nextcloud/all-in-one:latest`
URL	`https://nextcloud.lab.riversfamily.uk`
Auth	Own login
Source	`ansible/roles/nextcloud/`

Configuration¶

Variable	Default	Set in
`nextcloud_aio_interface_port`	`8080`	`ansible/roles/nextcloud/defaults/main.yml`
`nextcloud_apache_port`	`11000`	same — this is the port Traefik actually routes to
`nextcloud_datadir`	`/mnt/ncdata`	same

The role ensures the config directory, renders a Docker Compose file for the AIO mastercontainer, and deploys it with community.docker.docker_compose_v2 — not docker stack, since this VM is standalone, not a Swarm node.

Gotchas¶

nextcloud_timezone has the same undefined-timezone-variable issue as Pi-hole (see Pi-hole gotchas) — defaults to Etc/UTC rather than Europe/London.
AIO's first-run setup wizard is a manual, deploy-time step; not automated by Ansible.
