DEPRECATED - nextcloud

|This chart has been deprecated and moved to its new home: | |- GitHub repo: https://github.com/nextcloud/helm/tree/master/charts/nextcloud |- Charts repo: https://nextcloud.github.io/helm/

nextcloud is a file sharing server that puts the control and security of your own data back into your hands.

TL;DR;

$ helm install stable/nextcloud

Introduction

This chart bootstraps an nextcloud deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

It also packages the Bitnami MariaDB chart which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the nextcloud application.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.9+ with Beta APIs enabled
• PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

$ helm install --name my-release stable/nextcloud

The command deploys nextcloud on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

$ helm delete my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the nextcloud chart and their default values.

Note:

For nextcloud to function correctly, you should specify the nextcloud.host parameter to specify the FQDN (recommended) or the public IP address of the nextcloud service.

Optionally, you can specify the service.loadBalancerIP parameter to assign a reserved IP address to the nextcloud service of the chart. However please note that this feature is only available on a few cloud providers (f.e. GKE).

To reserve a public IP address on GKE:

bashCopy

$ gcloud compute addresses create nextcloud-public-ip

The reserved IP address can be associated to the nextcloud service by specifying it as the value of the service.loadBalancerIP parameter while installing the chart.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set nextcloud.username=admin,nextcloud.password=password,mariadb.rootUser.password=secretpassword \
    stable/nextcloud

The above command sets the nextcloud administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB root user password to secretpassword.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/nextcloud

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Persistence

The Nextcloud image stores the nextcloud data and configurations at the /var/www/html paths of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. See the Configuration section to enable persistence and configuration of the PVC.

Cronjob

This chart can utilize Kubernetes CronJob resource to execute background tasks.

To use this functionality, set cronjob.enabled parameter to true and switch background mode to Webcron in your nextcloud settings page. See the Configuration section for further configuration of the cronjob resource.

Note: For the cronjobs to work correctly, ingress must be also enabled (set ingress.enabled to true) and nextcloud.host has to be publicly resolvable.

Multiple config.php file

Nextcloud supports loading configuration parameters from multiple files. You can add arbitrary files ending with .config.php in the config/ directory. See documentation.

For example, following config will configure Nextcloud with S3 as primary storage by creating file /var/www/html/config/s3.config.php:

nextcloud:
  configs:
    s3.config.php: |-
      <?php
      $CONFIG = array (
        'objectstore' => array(
          'class' => '\\OC\\Files\\ObjectStore\\S3',
          'arguments' => array(
            'bucket'     => 'my-bucket',
            'autocreate' => true,
            'key'        => 'xxx',
            'secret'     => 'xxx',
            'region'     => 'us-east-1',
            'use_ssl'    => true
          )
        )
      );
