Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

Thanks for putting this together. I have been dragging my feet on self-hosting NextCloud, and now it looks like that procrastination may just work out in my favor.

One question, can I just run this on localhost and access through my local network instead of using a reverse proxy? If so, how? That’s all I need, I don’t use a reverse proxy now and would be fine just using a self-hosted VPN to access it when away from my private network. The docs make it seem like there is pretty stringent requirements on having to use a reverse proxy and certs, etc which was the same ‘issue’ I had with NextCloud. I guess I’m the minority here, but curious if anyone can help answer.

You can absolutely use it without a reverse proxy. A proxy is just another fancy HTTP client that contacts the server on the original client’s behalf and forwards the response back to it, usually wrapped in HTTPS.

All you have to do is expose the desired port(s) to all addresses:

# ... - ports: - 8080:8080

…and obviously to set the URL environment variables to localhost or whatever address the server uses.
