I get this issue, both with joly0s version and yours

 

2025/05/13 19:29:22 Could not create config: open /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml: permission denied
The jwt_secret has not been set properly in your config for opencloud. Make sure your /etc/opencloud config contains the proper values (e.g. by using 'opencloud init --diff' and applying the patch or setting a value manually in the config/corresponding environment variable).

 

Also, it seems that the `:latest` tag doesn’t exist anymore? I can’t pull the image that way at least, and have to change it to :2 or :daily

Hey thanks for checking and that's strange. I'll take a look after work sometime. Perhaps they've made changes to the rolling release. Can you run `New Permissions` on your appdata/opencloud folder? See if that fixes the permission issue

Hey, regarding the tag issue. One of the devs communicated this morning as follows:

Important: We fixed the `latest` tag on the opencloud-rolling image, both on docker hub and quay.io

 

The latest tag was wrong during the last two weeks and has been pointing to v2.0.2. That created some bad situations where people were trying to use the POSIXFS watch feature with openCloud v2.2.0, which works fine. On 2.0.2 this was not supported and caused bad behavior.

drwxr-xr-x 1   99  100  3 May 13 21:28 opencloud/

 

Those are the permissions of the appdata folder. Also deleting it and letting docker create a new one doesn’t seem to work

 

Alright, took another look into the docs. I’ve chown’ed the config and data folder now to 1000:1000, which works. (Even though the gid and uid in Unraids Settings are 99 and 100, I really don’t understand file permissions …)

Also, not sure if it’s documented somewhere, but you have to remove the init post-argument after the first initialization, otherwise OpenCloud tries to create a new config on every launch and fails if one already exists.

Hello,

I got openCloud to run, but it still fails in several places, ...

1. how do I get the AppStore to run? When I click on the button, all that appears is: “No apps found matching your search”

2. how do I get Collabora & Draw.io to work?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Philipp

Glad you got it working! It's detailed in the app template to change the post argument but I understand that instruction can be a little buried/hard to see.

1. That would require additional configuration (i haven't gotten it to work). This template starts without it. Check their starter docs for more detailed docker compose for their "complete" stack

2. Same as the first point.

@mcreekmore does OC syncronize files without any issues in your environment?

I am currently trying to find out the matter why OC crashes my whole system as @kstile reported too.

Can anyone spell it out like I'm 2, how to get the app store to work? Not sure how to add it to the container if its missing.

im desperste for help.

my Nextcloud is more struggle than help so i decided to give opencloud a try.

BUT

I cant get it running.

i installed the container
checked the log ( gave me the key)
removed the init and restarted

but i cant login with the local ip 192.168.178.10:9200 (missing /wrong config) or with https://cloud.mydomain.at (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

npm set with standard things.

any guess where is my mistake ?

For my understanding and interpretation of the documentation, Opencloud as community application is "only" using the docker configuration. That means according to the documentation: Spin up a temporary local instance of OpenCloud using Docker.

For the moment there is no community application with the docker compose setup existing. This would be the AIO variant with web extensions like the app store e.g.

Before trying any kind of DNS configuration, try to get your frontend available within LAN.

Quoting one of the maintainer: People are always struggling with DNS, filesystem permissions and reverse proxies, which is in 90% of the cases not an openCloud problem.

To keep it simple. Please post a screenshot from:

ls -la /mnt/user/[your data folder]
ls -la /mnt/user/[your config folder]

Please also check, whether cat /etc/passwd | grep 1000 gives any respone.

Maybe this can also help: https://github.com/orgs/opencloud-eu/discussions/961

I reported a bug regarding this issue.

https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/1065

too dificult to install as a no programmer or linux user with hearth and bleed :D

means, we have to wait till someone creates a very well working template with a 100 % instruction...

Thanks for doing this. I'm currently troubleshooting my own instance. I had it working just fine as in I could upload and download files. I reset my instance and now running into issues though I never had the system-wide crash issue as reported by you and kstile

Honestly I agree with you. When I started this template, the setup was simple enough except for the fact that it doesn't include the vast majority of "features" that one would expect out of what many here are hoping is a Nextcloud replacement.

If you get this template working, you will have basic file syncing. The appstore is not included. Onlyoffice integration is not straight forward and users (including myself) have had issues getting the desktop app to sync with their instance.

This project is clearly still in its infancy despite a "1.0.0" launch in the last 3 months. Now they're already on a v3 and the troubleshooting is seemingly more trouble than its worth at the moment.

There's a fairly new repo in their project for docker-compose setups. IMO to get a fully-featured opencloud setup surpasses the time (and possible know-how) I have. Perhaps there can be an effort towards a nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer equivalent for this project but I doubt it can be me doing such.

BTW: I am non of that too ! 😂

I am experimenting with Linux, Docker etc. since a couple of month (really). Excepting the fact that there is already some desktop environments available, Linux is that different than windows is. It can be mind blowing in the beginning. The Microsoft terminal is often only used by geeks. In Linux, and it does not matter which distribution, the terminal is your best friend. This is some kind of cool but also a lot of bothering - especially when your a new to Linux.

IMO there is an general issue with the unRAID environment (because of the syncing issues and crashes). Maybe some kind of conflicts in filesystem, plugins or docker itself.

After a dozent of misleading tries getting OC running on unraid I experimented with Ubuntu server. I was able to set up a really well working cloud instance of OC by installing it on a virtual machine. This could also be a workaround for the OC AIO installation. Another (not verified) way for the OC AIO installation, could be a DinD (Docker in Docker) runtime based on Linux alpine e.g. This could also be installed via the community application repository which is simpler then setting up a VM.

But anyway, I think OC will not be the typical cloud, collaboration, sharing, radicale and so on .... platform for a 'by the way installation and configuration'. But maybe this will change.

If anyone is interested in a step by step guide for the VM variant, let me know.

I have a couple of other and more urgent projects running. So OC is not a topic for me at the moment. But I will start experimenting with the docker compose release at its time.

Also still sticking to "Could not create config: open /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml: permission denied" Error.

Tag latest should be fixed, and Docker pulls a image.

Would be great if this tool could be installed via CA, really like to test it but do not have the time to start from scratch.

If you like, you can try my template. it´s pretty simple and working since months. A domain seems necessary. Personally I´m using a cloudflare tunnel as I don´t have a fixed IPv4 adress.
I have just one issue. When I create a space and a sub folder, I can´t sync images. Why??? now clue. everything else seems to be working fine (Colabora etc is not integrated).

Hello:)

I´ve tried to get this container up and running, but i can't make it work.. I´ve tried both containers but with no luck..

the newest error is this: /etc/opencloud/opencloud.yaml: permission denied.. I have installed/reinstalled/erase and every other thing i could think of:( i have also given all the permissions i could think of.. ??

So does anyone know how to set it up??

I´ve given both my nginx reverse and the ip address, still with no luck..

Does anyone know if there might be a guide somewhere??

Thank you:)

Hey Mattti, I would try @Nemu 's template above as I've sort of given up on this template. OpenCloud seems to be very immature and moving rapidly and I simply don't have the time to dedicate to maintaining this template that I thought I would

Wanted to give OpenCloud a try. Wasn't a fan of NextCloud. I understand this is a new project. i was able to stand things up fairly easy, working through a few issues. i wanted to be able to access this without my reverse proxy right away but i ended up setting it up just because i couldn't get it to work. In the end its that OC_URL value that locks in the acceptable URL. From what i can tell, OC_INSECURE does nothing. Even if set to true, it still hangs up on the cert. http will not load a page saying "client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server".

My question: is there a way to access with 2 urls? an internal and external?

Hello

I´m having another problem.. im trying to make an entry in my nginx proxy manager, which runs only on lan only.. But i get an error message which says this: missing or invalid config??

Anyone who has an idea on how to fix this one ??

Thank you

Are you able to start and access oc without using any further 3rd services?

Not sure if I got you... You want to be able to access your cloud via lan (without proxy) and access it via www by your proxy?

You could not get it to work without proxy, or could you?
