# Reverse Proxy Documentation A [reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy) is basically a web server that enables computers on the internet to access a service in a [private subnet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network). **Please note:** Publishing the AIO interface with a valid certificate to the public internet is **not** the goal of this documentation! Instead, the main goal is to publish Nextcloud with a valid certificate to the public internet which is **not** running inside the mastercontainer but in a different container! If you need a valid certificate for the AIO interface, see [point 5](#5-optional-get-a-valid-certificate-for-the-aio-interface). In order to run Nextcloud behind a web server or reverse proxy (like Apache, Nginx and else), you need to specify the port that AIO's Apache container shall use, add a specific config to your web server or reverse proxy and modify the startup command a bit. All examples below will use port `11000` as example Apache port which will be exposed on the host. Modify the port to your needings. **Attention:** The process to run Nextcloud behind a reverse proxy consists of at least steps 1, 2 and 4: 1. **Configure the reverse proxy! See [point 1](#1-add-this-to-your-reverse-proxy-config)** 1. **Use the in this document provided startup command! See [point 2](#2-use-this-startup-command)** 1. Optional: If the reverse proxy is installed on the same host and in the host network, you should limit the apache container to only listen on localhost. See [point 3](#3-limit-the-access-to-the-apache-container) 1. **Open the AIO interface. See [point 4](#4-open-the-aio-interface)** 1. Optional: Get a valid certificate for the AIO interface! See [point 5](#5-optional-get-a-valid-certificate-for-the-aio-interface) 1. Optional: How to debug things? See [point 6](#6-how-to-debug-things) ## 1. Add this to your reverse proxy config **Please note:** Since the Apache container gets created by the mastercontainer, there is **NO** way to provide custom docker labels or custom environmental variables for the Apache container. So please do not attempt to do this because you will fail! Only the documented way will work! ### Apache
click here to expand **Disclaimer:** It might be possible that the config below is not working 100% correctly, yet. Improvements to it are very welcome! Add this as a new Apache site config: (The config below assumes that you are using certbot to get your certificates. You need to create them first in order to make it work.) ``` ServerName RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} = RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] ServerName # Reverse proxy based on https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_wstunnel.html RewriteEngine On ProxyPreserveHost On AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode ProxyPass / http://localhost:11000/ nocanon ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:11000/ RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} websocket [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Connection} upgrade [NC] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[a-zA-Z]+ /(.*) HTTP/\d+(\.\d+)?$" RewriteRule .?

TraceEnable off Require all denied # Support big file uploads LimitRequestBody 0 ``` Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. Also make sure to adjust the port 11000 to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)*** To make the config work you can run the following command: `sudo a2enmod rewrite proxy proxy_http proxy_wstunnel ssl headers http2`
### Caddy (Recommended)
click here to expand Add this to your Caddyfile: ``` https://:443 { reverse_proxy localhost:11000 } ``` The Caddyfile is a text file called `Caddyfile` (no extension) which – if you should be running Caddy inside a container – should usually be created in the same location as your `docker-compose.yml` file prior to starting the container. Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. Also make sure to adjust the port 11000 to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)*** **Advice:** You may have a look at [this](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/575#discussion-4055615) for a more complete example.
### Caddy with ACME DNS-challenge
click here to expand You can get AIO running using the ACME DNS-challenge. Here is how to do it. 1. Follow [this documentation](https://caddy.community/t/how-to-use-dns-provider-modules-in-caddy-2/8148) in order to get a Caddy build that is compatible with your domain provider's DNS challenge. 1. Add this to your Caddyfile: ``` https://:443 { reverse_proxy localhost:11000 tls { dns } } ``` Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. You also need to adjust `` and `` to match your case. Also make sure to adjust the port 11000 to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)*** 1. Now continue with [point 2](#2-use-this-startup-command) but additionally, add `--env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true` to the docker run command of the mastercontainer (but before the last line `nextcloud/all-in-one:latest`) which will disable the dommain validation (because it is known that the domain validation will not when using the DNS-challenge since no port is publicly opened. **Advice:** In order to make it work in your home network, you may add the internal ipv4-address of your reverse proxy as A DNS-record to your domain and disable the dns-rebind-protection in your router. Another way it to set up a local dns-server like a pi-hole and set up a custom dns-record for that domain that points to the internal ip-adddress of your reverse proxy (see https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-can-i-access-nextcloud-locally). If both is not possible, you may add the domain to the hosts file which is needed then for any devices that shall use the server.

### Cloudflare Tunnel
click here to expand Although it does not seems like it is the case but from AIO perspective a Cloudflare Tunnel works like a reverse proxy. Please see the [caveats](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#notes-on-cloudflare-proxytunnel) before proceeding. Here is then how to make it work: 1. Install the Cloudflare Tunnel on the same machine where AIO will be running on and point the Tunnel with the domain that you want to use for AIO to `http://localhost:11000`. ***If the Tunnel is running on a different machine, you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)*** 1. Now continue with [point 2](#2-use-this-startup-command) but additionally, add `--env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true` to the docker run command which will disable the dommain validation (because it is known that the domain validation will not work behind a Cloudflare Tunnel). So you need to ensure yourself that you've configured everything correctly. **Advice:** Make sure to [disable Cloudflares Rocket Loader feature](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/login-page-not-working-solved/149417/8) as otherwise Nextcloud's login prompt will not be shown.

### Nginx-Proxy
click here to expand Unfortunately it is not possible to configure nginx-proxy in a way that works because it completely relies on environmental variables of the docker containers itself. Providing these variables does not work as stated above. If you really want to use AIO, we recommend you to switch to caddy. It is simply amazing!
Of course understandable if that is not possible for you. Apart from that, there is this: [manual-install](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/tree/main/manual-install)
### Nginx-Proxy-Manager
click here to expand First, please make sure that the environmental variables `PUID` and `PGID` in the docker-compose.yml file for NPM are either unset or set to `0`. Second, see these screenshots for a working config: ![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/75573284/213889707-b7841ca0-3ea7-4321-acf6-50e1c1649442.png) ![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/75573284/213889724-1ab32264-3e0c-4d83-b067-9fe9d1672fb2.png) ![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/75573284/213889797-42642302-b079-4378-a4a6-079f4f67058c.png) ![grafik](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/75573284/213889746-87dbe8c5-4d1f-492f-b251-bbf82f1510d0.png) ``` client_body_buffer_size 512k; proxy_read_timeout 86400s; client_max_body_size 0; ``` Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. Also change `@` to a mail address of yours. Also make sure to adjust the port 11000 to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon.

### Node.js with Express
click here to expand **Disclaimer:** It might be possible that the config below is not working 100% correctly, yet. Improvements to it are very welcome! For Node.js, we will use the npm package `http-proxy`. WebSockets must be handled separately. This example only uses `http`, but if your Express server already uses a `https` server, then follow the same instructions for `https`. ```js const HttpProxy = require('http-proxy'); const express = require('express'); const http = require('http'); const app = express(); const proxy = HttpProxy.createProxyServer({ target: 'http://localhost:11000', // Timeout can be changed to your liking. timeout: 1000 * 60 * 3, proxyTimeout: 1000 * 60 * 3, // Not 100% certain whether autoRewrite is necessary, but enabling it SEEMS to make it behave more stably. autoRewrite: true, // Do not enable followRedirects. followRedirects: false, }); // Handle errors with proxy.web and proxy.ws function onProxyError(err, req, res, target) { // Handle errors however you like. Here's an example: if (err.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') { return res.status(503).send('Nextcloud server is currently not running. It may be down for temporary maintenance.'); } // other errors else { console.error(err); return res.status(500).send(String(err)); } } app.use((req, res) => { proxy.web(req, res, {}, onProxyError); }); const httpServer = http.createServer(app); httpServer.listen('80'); // Listen for an upgrade to a WebSocket connection. httpServer.on('upgrade', (req, socket, head) => { proxy.ws(req, socket, head, {}, onProxyError); }); ``` If you are using the Express package `vhost` for your app, you can use `proxy.web` inside the vhosted express function (see the following code snippet), but `proxy.ws` still needs to be done "globally" on your http server. Nextcloud should automatically ignore websocket requests for other domains. ```js const HttpProxy = require('http-proxy'); const express = require('express'); const http = require('http'); const myNextcloudApp = express(); const myOtherApp = express(); const vhost = express(); // Definitions for proxy and onProxyError unchanged. (see above) myNextcloudApp.use((req, res) => { proxy.web(req, res, {}, onProxyError); }); vhost.use(vhostFunc('', myNextcloudApp)); const httpServer = http.createServer(app); httpServer.listen('80'); // Listen for an upgrade to a WebSocket connection. httpServer.on('upgrade', (req, socket, head) => { proxy.ws(req, socket, head, {}, onProxyError); }); ``` Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. Also make sure to adjust the port 11000 to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)***

### Traefik 2
click here to expand **Disclaimer:** It might be possible that the config below is not working 100% correctly, yet. Improvements to it are very welcome! Traefik's building blocks (router, service, middlewares) need to be defined using dynamic configuration similar to [this](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/file/#configuration-examples) official Traefik configuration example. Using **docker labels _won't work_** because of the nature of the project. The examples below define the dynamic configuration in YAML files. If you rather prefer TOML, use a YAML to TOML converter. 1. In Traefik's static configuration define a [file provider](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/file/) for dynamic providers: ```yml # STATIC CONFIGURATION entryPoints: https: address: ":443" # Create an entrypoint called "https" that uses port 443 certificatesResolvers: # Define "letsencrypt" certificate resolver letsencrypt: acme: storage: /letsencrypt/acme.json # Defines the path where certificates should be stored email: # Where LE sends notification about certificates expiring tlschallenge: true providers: file: directory: "/path/to/dynamic/conf" # Adjust the path according your needs. watch: true ``` 1. Declare the router, service and middlewares for Nextcloud in `/path/to/dynamic/conf/nextcloud.yml`: ```yml http: routers: nextcloud: rule: "Host()" entrypoints: - "https" service: nextcloud middlewares: - nextcloud-chain tls: certresolver: "letsencrypt" services: nextcloud: loadBalancer: servers: - url: "http://localhost:11000" # Use the host's IP address if Traefik runs outside the host network middlewares: nextcloud-secure-headers: headers: hostsProxyHeaders: - "X-Forwarded-Host" referrerPolicy: "same-origin" https-redirect: redirectscheme: scheme: https nextcloud-chain: chain: middlewares: # - ... (e.g. rate limiting middleware) - https-redirect - nextcloud-secure-headers ``` --- Of course you need to modify `` in the `nextcloud.yml` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. Also make sure to adjust the port `11000` to match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` option (or `network_mode: host` for docker-compose) when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. ***If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux)*** **Hint**: see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLPSRrLMDmA for a video on configuring Traefik.

(For an docker-compose example, see the example further [below](#inspiration-for-a-docker-compose-file).) ``` # For Linux: sudo docker run \ --sig-proxy=false \ --name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer \ --restart always \ --publish 8080:8080 \ --env APACHE_PORT=11000 \ --env APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0 \ --volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config \ --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \ nextcloud/all-in-one:latest ``` Note: You may be interested in adjusting Nextcloud’s datadir to store the files in a different location than the default docker volume. See [this documentation](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-change-the-default-location-of-nextclouds-datadir) on how to do it. You should also think about limiting the apache container to listen only on localhost in case the reverse proxy is running on the same host and in the host network, by providing an additional environmental variable to this docker run command. See [point 3](#3-limit-the-access-to-the-apache-container). On macOS see https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-run-aio-on-macos.
Command for Windows On Windows, install [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) (and don't forget to [enable ipv6](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/blob/main/docker-ipv6-support.md) if you should need that) and run the following command in the command prompt: ``` docker run ^ --sig-proxy=false ^ --name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer ^ --restart always ^ --publish 8080:8080 ^ --env APACHE_PORT=11000 ^ --env APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0 ^ --volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config ^ --volume //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro ^ nextcloud/all-in-one:latest ``` Also, you may be interested in adjusting Nextcloud's Datadir to store the files on the host system. See [this documentation](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-change-the-default-location-of-nextclouds-datadir) on how to do it.
On Synology DSM see https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-run-aio-on-synology-dsm ### Inspiration for a docker-compose file Simply translate the docker run command into a docker-compose file. You can have a look at [this file](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) for some inspiration but you will need to modify it either way. You can find further examples here: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/588 ## 3. Limit the access to the apache container Use this envorinmental variable during the initial startup of the mastercontainer to make the apache container only listen on localhost: `--env APACHE_IP_BINDING=127.0.0.1`. **Attention:** This is only recommended to be set if you use `localhost` in your reverse proxy config to connect to your AIO instance. If you use an ip-address instead of localhost, you should set it to `0.0.0.0`. ## 4. Open the AIO interface. After starting AIO, you should be able to access the AIO Interface via `https://ip.address.of.the.host:8080`. Enter your domain that you've entered in the reverse proxy config and you should be done. Please do not forget to open/forward port `3478/TCP` and `3478/UDP` in your firewall/router for the Talk container! ## 5. Optional: get a valid certificate for the AIO interface If you want to also access your AIO interface publicly with a valid certificate, you can add e.g. the following config to your Caddyfile: ``` https://:8443 { reverse_proxy https://localhost:8080 { transport http { tls_insecure_skip_verify } } } ``` Of course you need to modify `` to the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud. **Please note:** The above configuration will only work if your reverse proxy is running directly on the host that is running the docker daemon. If the reverse proxy is running in a docker container, you can use the `--network host` when starting the reverse proxy container in order to connect the reverse proxy container to the host network. If that is not an option or not possible for you (like e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), you can alternatively instead of `localhost` use the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux) Afterwards should the AIO interface be accessible via `https://ip.address.of.the.host:8443`. You can alternatively change the domain to a different subdomain by using `https://:443` instead of `https://:8443` in the Caddyfile and use that to access the AIO interface. ## 6. How to debug things? If something does not work, follow the steps below: 1. Make sure to exactly follow the whole reverse proxy documentation step-for-step from top to bottom! 1. Make sure that you used the docker run command that is described in this reverse proxy documentation. Hint: make sure that you have set the APACHE_PORT during the docker run command! 1. Make sure to set the `APACHE_IP_BINDING` variable correctly. If in doubt, set it to `--env APACHE_IP_BINDING=0.0.0.0` 1. Make sure that all ports match the chosen `APACHE_PORT`. 1. Make sure that the reverse proxy is running on the host OS or if running in a container, connected to the host network. If that is not possible (e.g. on Windows or if the reverse proxy is running on a different host), substitute `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` in the default configurations by the private ip-address of the host that is running the docker daemon. If you are not sure how to retrieve that, you can run: `ip a | grep "scope global" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'`. If the command returns a public ip-address, use `ip a | grep "scope global" | grep docker0 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's|/.*||'` instead (the commands only work on Linux) 1. Make sure that the mastercontainer is able to spawn other containers. You can do so by checking that the mastercontainer indeed has access to the Docker socket which might not be positioned in one of the suggested directories like `/var/run/docker.sock` but in a different directory, based on your OS and the way how you installed Docker. The mastercontainer logs should help figuring this out. You can have a look at them by running `sudo docker logs nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer` after the container is started the first time. 1. Check if after the mastercontainer was started, the reverse proxy if running inside a container, can reach the provided apache port. You can test this by running `nc -z localhost 11000; echo $?` from inside the reverse proxy container. If the output is `0`, everything works. Alternatively you can of course use instead of `localhost` the ip-address of the host here for the test. 1. Make sure that you are not behind CGNAT. If that is the case, you will not be able to open ports properly. In that case you might use a Cloudflare Tunnel. 1. If you use Cloudflare, you might need to skip the domain validation anyways since it is known that Cloudflare might block the validation attempts. In that case, see the last option below. 1. Check if you have a public IPv4- and public IPv6-address. If you only have a public IPv6-address (e.g. due to DS-Lite), make sure to enable IPv6 in Docker and your whole networking infrastructure (e.g. also by adding an AAAA DNS-entry to your domain). 1. Try to configure everything from scratch if it still does not work by following https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-properly-reset-the-instance. 1. As last resort, you may disable the domain validation by adding `--env SKIP_DOMAIN_VALIDATION=true` to the docker run command. But only use this if you are completely sure that you've correctly configured everything!
