Nextcloud on Cresdock
Nextcloud is a full self-hosted file-sync and collaboration suite — the closest self-hosted match to Google Drive or Dropbox, with apps for every platform.
What Cresdock sets up for you
Gets its own web address and a generated admin password on install — shown once on the app card, so there's no shared or default credential.
Configures itself automatically on first boot (admin account, database, trusted domain) — you sign in and it's ready, no setup wizard to run through by hand.
Installing it
- Pick it from the catalog
From your dashboard, choose Nextcloud and click Install — no Dockerfile, no compose file.
- Wait a couple of minutes
The panel pulls the image, seeds its configuration, and starts it up.
- Open it from your dashboard
Your access details are on the app's card, and you can start, stop, update or remove it with a click, any time.
Common questions
Do I need to know Docker to run Nextcloud?
No — it's a one-click install through the panel, same as every app in the catalog.
Is my Nextcloud data safe during an update?
Yes. Updates and reinstalls change Nextcloud's own configuration only — never your downloaded files or media library, by design.
Can I remove Nextcloud later without losing my setup?
Removing it can keep its configuration for a future reinstall — you choose when you remove it.
