4. NGINX REVERSE PROXY MANAGER w/ GoAccess Charts Install + SETUP

• 3 containers
  1. nginxproxymanagerpi
  2. nginxproxymanagerpidb
  3. nginxproxymanagerpistats

Enter docker-compose directory

cd nextcloudpi/nginx-proxy-manager

Build Dockerfile

sudo docker compose build

Build + Run docker compose

Port Info:

nginx admin port: 81
goaccess stats port: 7880
mariadb port: 3306

After the Nginx Proxy Manager is running for the first time, the following will happen:

GPG keys will be generated and saved in the data folder
The database will initialize with table structures
A default admin user will be created

This process can take a couple of minutes depending on your machine.

Default Administrator User

Email:    admin@example.com
Password: changeme

Immediately after logging in with this default user you will be asked to modify your details and change your password.

NextcloudPi Nginx Proxy Settings

In Nginx reverse Proxy manager, add your nextcloudpi proxy

scheme = http
ip = ip of host
port = port number of nextcloud docker container
websocket support = on
block common exports = on
ssl = on
force ssl = on
HTTP/s support = on
HSTS enabled = on
HSTS subdomains = on

You can use the Free LetsEncrypt SSL or upload your own to add a secure connection

Add this to your Nginx reverse proxy settings in advanced - custom Nginx configuration.

This below fixes one of the error you receive in the "Overview" tab in your "Administration settings" for .well-known/carddav and .well-known/caldav

location /.well-known/carddav {
    return 301 $scheme://$host/remote.php/dav;
}

location /.well-known/caldav {
    return 301 $scheme://$host/remote.php/dav;
}

Go to your nextcloud IP or domain you setup and start the initial setup.

- enter username
- create password

• Go to "Personal Settings" in your nextcloud panel and add your email address to your profile
• Now go to "Administration settings" in your nextcloud panel and navigate to "Basic settings"
• For background jobs: change from "AJAX" to "Cron (Recommended)"
• For "Email server" add your email server settings of the email account which will use to send out nextcloud-related emails from and then test the connection by pressing the button "Send email" to Test and verify email settings
• Now go to the "Overview" tab in your "Administration settings"
• Look at the addtional error codes and warnings and follow the instructions below to fix them.

The commands below must be run in the docker host machine where the nextcloud container is installed or by accessing the config.php file from inside your nextcloud container.

Become the root user on your host machine

sudo -i

Navigate to the docker nextcloud volume into the config directory

cd /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloudpi_nextcloud/_data/config

use a text editor to edit the config.php file

nano config.php

Add the following code at the bottom of the file before the closing statement );

This code fixes the phone code error; make sure to change to your region code

  'default_phone_region' => 'US',

This code fixes the insecure url error

  'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',

This code adds maintenance window time and fixes error

  'maintenance_window_start' => 1,

This whole array will allow your nextcloud to generate preview thumbnails of videos and other formats

  'enable_previews' => true,    
  'enabledPreviewProviders' => 
  array (
    0 => 'OC\\Preview\\Movie',
    1 => 'OC\\Preview\\PNG',
    2 => 'OC\\Preview\\JPEG',
    3 => 'OC\\Preview\\GIF',
    4 => 'OC\\Preview\\BMP',
    5 => 'OC\\Preview\\XBitmap',
    6 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP3',
    7 => 'OC\\Preview\\MP4',
    8 => 'OC\\Preview\\TXT',
    9 => 'OC\\Preview\\MarkDown',
    10 => 'OC\\Preview\\PDF',
  ),

Colabora Online (Nextcloud Office) Server Installation

• 1 containers
  1. collabora

cd nextcloudpi/collabora

Edit the collabora-code.sh file

nano collabora-code.sh

Edit the following variables

Set this to the IP+Port pointing to the collabora/code server

domain=###.###.###.###:PORT	

Set this to the domain pointed to your collabora/code server

server_name=your-domain.com	

Change this username for the admin panel

user=admin

Change this password for the admin panel

pass=password

Change this for your local time zone

tz=America/New_York	

Save and make the bash script file is executable

chmod +x collabora-code.sh

Run the script

./collabora-code.sh

In Nginx reverse Proxy manager, add your Colabora Online proxy

scheme = https
ip = ip of host
port = port number of collabora docker container
websocket support = on
block common exports = off
ssl = on
force ssl = on
HTTP/s support = on
HSTS enabled = on
HSTS subdomains = on

In your nextcloud installation head over to administration settings -> Office

• Select "Use your own server"
• Enter URL (and Port) of collabora Online-server: example: use either domain or server_name values - https://office.solrstation.com or https://192.168.1.101:9980
• Allow list for WOPI requests: enter the following - 172.70.0.0/16, 162.158.0.0/16
  • You can find the IP range of your WOPI host by entering 0.0.0.0/16 in your WOPI allow list and then opening up a document in nextcloud to get the WOPI denied error. Upon receiving this error, you can look at the logs in your administration settings for warnings on WOPI requests denied.
  • Example: WOPI request denied from 172.70.111.138 as it does not match the configured ranges: 0.0.0.0
  • Take the denied from IP and turn it into a range by keeping the first two values. example: 172.70
  • Then enter .0.0/16 to the end of it. example: 172.70.0.0/16
  • Try opening a document again, and you will get another WOPI denied error, this time showing you another IP range.
  • Example: WOPI request denied from 162.158.154.60 as it does not match the configured ranges: 172.70.0.0/16
  • Add this IP as you did before to your WOPI allow list by keeping the first 2 parts of the IP and turning the remaining into a range: example: 162.158.0.0/16
  • Combine both IP ranges together and add them into your WOPI allow list
  • example: 172.70.0.0/16, 162.158.0.0/16
  • Open a document again in nextcloud. Now you should not have any WOPI errors, and the document should open without any further errors.

YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A FULLY FUNTIONAL NEXTCLOUD RUNNING ON YOUR RASPBERRY PI 4 OR 5 WITH NO ERRORS AND DOCUMENT EDITING SUPPORT BEHIND A REVERSE PROXY AND FULLY SECURED.

If you do not wish to build the image, you can add Dockerfile variables into the docker-compose file for Nextcloudpi & Nginx Reverse Proxy Pi and just run docker compose up -d
