Variants

For various use cases, three variants are provided. Each variant's name aligns with its corresponding directory in this repository.

local

This runs only within your Tailscale network. Found the seed of this solution here

public

This runs on the internet so that you can share with anybody without inviting them on your Tailscale network. Found the seed of this solution here

public-hostscale (preferred)

This solution is intended for a server with Tailscale pre-installed and its funnel option activated. Essential setup steps include:

• HTTPS Enablement: Configure Tailscale certificates to facilitate secure HTTPS connections.
• Tailscale Funneling: Direct incoming requests from the Tailscale network's port 443 to the local nextcloud-aio-apache instance on port 11000.

  sudo tailscale funnel --bg --https=443 11000

• Router Port Forwarding: Set a static IP for the server on your router, then forward the Nextcloud Talk port.
• Firewall Adjustment: Confirm your firewall settings are open for all required network traffic.

Tips

Delete existing docker containers and networks.

docker compose down;\
docker stop $(docker ps -aq);\
docker rm $(docker ps -aq);\
docker network rm nextcloud-aio

*To initiate this app you have to delete the data dir and volumes of nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer after the command above.
