Configure nextcloud-fpm docker-compose with bare metal nginx - php

Question

I'm trying to install Nextcloud on my server.
The nginx service is installed directly on bare metal (Ubuntu)
I starting from the docker-compose found at https://github.com/nextcloud/docker/tree/master/.examples/docker-compose/with-nginx-proxy/postgres/fpm
version: '3.8'
services:
postgres-nextcloud:
image: postgres:alpine
restart: always
ports:
- 5435:5432
volumes:
- postgres-nextcloud-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
env_file:
- db.env
redis-nextcloud:
image: redis:alpine
restart: always
nextcloud:
image: nextcloud:fpm-alpine
restart: always
ports:
- 8083:9000
volumes:
- /var/www/cloud.domain.com:/var/www/html
environment:
- POSTGRES_HOST=postgres-nextcloud
- REDIS_HOST=redis-nextcloud
- POSTGRES_PORT=5432
env_file:
- db.env
depends_on:
- postgres-nextcloud
- redis-nextcloud
web:
build: ./web
restart: always
volumes:
- /var/www/cloud.domain.com:/var/www/html:ro
environment:
- VIRTUAL_HOST=cloud.domain.com
- LETSENCRYPT_HOST=cloud.domain.com
- LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=dev#domain.com
depends_on:
- nextcloud
networks:
- proxy-tier
- default
cron:
image: nextcloud:fpm-alpine
restart: always
volumes:
- /var/www/cloud.domain.com:/var/www/html
entrypoint: /cron.sh
depends_on:
- postgres-nextcloud
- redis-nextcloud
But with my knowledge in web server I haven't found the way to properly configure my "local" nginx.
I've many other website, app already working using this nginx instance
All the different config are in the sites-available directory
The config for the Nextcloud project is named cloud.mydomain.com
with this nginx config I only get a File not found. Page
server {
root /var/www/cloud.domain.com;
server_name cloud.domain.com www.cloud.domain.com;
index index.html index.htm index.php;

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
gzip_static on;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
error_page 404 /index.php;

include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
listen [::]:443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot

include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.cloud.domain.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = cloud.domain.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name cloud.domain.com www.cloud.domain.com;
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
I understand that -fpm app need a proxy but I don't really understand how to link it to my existing nginx set up. With the nginx NOT running in a docker container.
Thanks for your time!

One way I know is to install another nginx in another container and put those two containers in one network in docker...
Use your baremetal nginx as reverse proxy then forward traffic to the nginx in container will do the trick.
The other way is to use the image nextcloud:latest which comes with built in Apache server. Its actually the first way with built-in web server.
I heard there some way to configure your docker image to behave like a service installed on baremetal (with own public IP) by setting the network-mode in docker-compose files but I think its easier to just include another nginx server in docker...
Either way your existing service on baremetal will not be affected.
