Nextcloud (MariaDB bundle)

Your own cloud for files, calendar & more

About

Your files, calendar and contacts on your own device, synced to every phone and computer you own. Share links with others, open documents in the browser, add more from the built-in app store.

Notes

Nextcloud Hub: files, calendar, contacts, talk and office on your own device. Sync with the desktop and mobile clients, share links with outsiders, connect CalDAV/CardDAV, and extend it from the built-in app store.

Bundled with its own MariaDB database and a Redis cache for file locking, plus a cron sidecar that runs Nextcloud's background jobs every five minutes. Each instance is a fully self-contained bundle with its own Docker network and its own data volumes. The agent generates the database passwords on first install and stores them locally on the device. You choose the admin login at install.

Built from the official nextcloud image (Nextcloud 35, PHP 8.5 + Apache). Nextcloud only upgrades one major version at a time, so template updates always move exactly one major forward; the data volume survives uninstall.

Alternative to: Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft 365
