# nextcloud

[nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) is a file sharing server that puts the control and security of your own data back into your hands.

## TL;DR;

```console
$ helm install stable/nextcloud
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps an [nextcloud](https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

It also packages the [Bitnami MariaDB chart](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/mariadb) which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the nextcloud application.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.9+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/nextcloud
```

The command deploys nextcloud on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

## Configuration

The following table lists the configurable parameters of the nextcloud chart and their default values.

> **Note**:
>
> For nextcloud to function correctly, you should specify the `nextcloud.host` parameter to specify the FQDN (recommended) or the public IP address of the nextcloud service.
>
> Optionally, you can specify the `service.loadBalancerIP` parameter to assign a reserved IP address to the nextcloud service of the chart. However please note that this feature is only available on a few cloud providers (f.e. GKE).
>
> To reserve a public IP address on GKE:
>
> ```bash
> $ gcloud compute addresses create nextcloud-public-ip
> ```
>
> The reserved IP address can be associated to the nextcloud service by specifying it as the value of the `service.loadBalancerIP` parameter while installing the chart.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release \
  --set nextcloud.username=admin,nextcloud.password=password,mariadb.rootUser.password=secretpassword \
    stable/nextcloud
```

The above command sets the nextcloud administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB `root` user password to `secretpassword`.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/nextcloud
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Persistence

The [Nextcloud](https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/) image stores the nextcloud data and configurations at the `/var/www/html` paths of the container.

Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube.
See the [Configuration](#configuration) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
