# Nextcloud All-in-One with Tailscale Integration
![Nextcloud All-in-One with Tailscale](https://nextcloud.com/c/uploads/2023/02/logo_nextcloud_white.svg "Nextcloud All-in-One")
This project sets up a Nextcloud All-in-One instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose. It creates a secure, private network connection for your Nextcloud All-in-One instance using Tailscale.
## Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
- A Tailscale account and auth key (get one from https://login.tailscale.com/admin/authkeys)
- Basic understanding of Docker and networking concepts
## IMPORTANT NOTE
Unlike most of the the other deployments in this organization the data for the service is managed with a docker volume instead of in this project directory structure. This was a requirement for nextcloud and any PRs or help via issue is welcome.
## Project Structure
```
nextcloud-aio/
├── docker-compose.yml
└── tailscale/
├── tailscale-data/ # Persistent Tailscale state
└── config/ # Tailscale configuration files
```
## Setup Instructions
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://gitea.damconsulting.llc/DAM/ts-nextcloud-all-in-one.git
cd nextcloud-aio
```
2. Create Required Directories
```bash
mkdir -p tailscale/tailscale-data
```
3. Configure Tailscale
- Replace `{{YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY}}` in the docker-compose.yml with your actual Tailscale auth key
- Optionally, update the file in `tailscale/config/serve.json` if you need specific Tailscale serve configurations
- CAUTION: Changing `"${TS_CERT_DOMAIN}:443": false` to `true` will expose the service to the internet
4. Configure Nextcloud All-in-One
- See the [README in the Repo](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#nextcloud-all-in-one) for configuration options
5. Start the Services
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
6. Wait for Certificate to propagate [~2m]
7. Login to master container for initialization
- After starting the services the service admin page should be available via tailnet at https://nextcloud-aio.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net:8443 ie https://nextcloud-aio.tail12345.ts.net:8443
8. After configuration go to https://nextcloud-aio.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net to access your instance.
9. God speed with the rest of the config.
## Services
### nextcloud-all-in-one-ts (Tailscale)
- Runs Tailscale VPN client
- Image: tailscale/tailscale:latest
- Container name: nextcloud-all-in-one-ts
- Hostname: nextcloud-all-in-one
- Requires NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE capabilities
- Persists state in ./tailscale/tailscale-data
- Uses configuration from ./tailscale/config
### nextcloud-all-in-one
- Depends on nextcloud-all-in-one-ts service
## Usage
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at `https://nextcloud-all-in-one.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net` ie `https://nextcloud-all-in-one.tail12345.ts.net/`
- To manually get the Tailscale IP/hostname of your container:
```bash
docker logs nextcloud-all-in-one-ts
```
Look for the Tailscale IP address in the logs.
## Optional Features
- Stopping the Services
```bash
docker compose down
```
## Troubleshooting
- Check container logs:
```bash
docker compose logs -f
```
- Ensure your Tailscale auth key is valid and not expired
- Verify the configuration files have proper permissions
- Make sure required directories exist before starting
## Notes
- Direct port mapping is disabled by default as Tailscale handles the networking
- Services restart automatically unless explicitly stopped
