Remap a subfolder under /web to a different folder

beerlao

Hi,

I’m new to docker and mailcow. Mailcow is up and running behind Traefik and I have moved the vmail Volume to a zfs pool (according to this: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/u_e-dovecot-vmail-volume/).

I have installed Nextcloud via the helper script, all went well. I now want to move the Nextcloud data folder (.data/web/nextcloud/data) to a zfs pool as well. I only want to move the Nextcloud data folder, not the whole /web folder. Any clue how I could achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Got it to work. After realizing that the /web Folder was mounted by the php-fpm image and not by the nginx image, it was easy to fix it via docker-compose.override.

Hi Beerlao,

I am quite new on docker things and mailcow too,
i also try installing nexcloud using the helper script.

could you help me out the detail regarding docker-compose.overide

beerlao

jtdoank Sure. You have to mount the /web Folder for your PHP-FPM Container:

Replace /path/to/your/persistent/datafolder with your local data folder (where nextcloud stores it’s user data; could be something like /var/www/html/data.

docker-compose.override.yml

php-fpm-mailcow:
  volumes:
          - /path/to/your/persistent/datafolder:/web/nextcloud/data:rw

jtdoank

wow, thanks for the prompt reply
let me recheck on it

thanks alot buddy

jtdoank

hahaha, trying several way but not working.
could you help elaborate more

🙏🙏🙏

beerlao

jtdoank Be more specific. What does “not working” mean?

jtdoank

I’ve got this

ERROR: Version mismatch: file ./docker-compose.yml specifies version 3.9 but extension file ./docker-compose.override.yml uses version 1

beerlao

jtdoank What does:

docker-compose version
docker version
grep "version" docker-compose.yml
grep "version" docker-compose.override.yml

say?

Rough guess: Try setting “version” in both docker-compose.yml and docker-compose-override.yml to ‘2.1’.

jtdoank

I think, i have wrong creating the docker-compose.override.yml
let me google it how the create proper docker-compose.override.yml
or could you inform to me link that i can create it

cause i really quite new on docker 🙏

beerlao

jtdoank Don’t ever change the docker-compose.yml - replace it with the one from the repo. Put all your local adjustments in docker-compose-override.yml. Start with this:

version: '2.1'

services:
php-fpm-mailcow:
  volumes:
          - /path/to/your/persistent/datafolder:/web/nextcloud/data:rw

jtdoank

Finally got working
Thanks alot buddy

version: '2.1'

services:
 php-fpm-mailcow:
  volumes:
          - /path/to/your/persistent/datafolder:/web/nextcloud/data:rw

need 1 space on php-fpm-mailcow
hahaha couple time i got

ERROR: In file ‘./docker-compose.override.yml’, service must be a mapping, not a NoneType.

but now is working and nicely done after I move all the data from /web/nextcloud/data to /path/to/your/persistent/datafolder

next thisngs to do is edit the php.ini

could you also helping edit the php.ini file
where exactly the file

jtdoank

btw it seems that when backup using helper script the nextcloud is not backup too isn’t?

did you already try to backup and restore and migrate to different server?

beerlao

jtdoank I never used the helper script for backup. For your Nextcloud data, you only need to backup your data folder as well as your mysql tables. You can use any backup tool you want. As I’m using zfs, backups are a matter of ‘zfs snapshot’.

Modifying php.ini: Check mailcow/mailcow-dockerized590

Glad that it’s working now for you.

jtdoank

Thanks to you that it all working 🙏
let me check the php.ini as the link you give to me

beerlao backup your data folder as well as your mysql tables

data already, and how we can backup the mysql on docker could you help me again

beerlao

jtdoank source mailcow.conf; docker exec -it $(docker ps -f name=mysql-mailcow -q) /bin/sh -c "mysqldump -u ${DBUSER} -p${DBPASS} --all-databases" > ./backup.mysql

Most of your questions should easyly be answered by a short google search…

jtdoank

beerlao
Thanks alot Beerlao

So sorry if the questions and let me more search later on 🙏

jtdoank

beerlao
