nextcloud-previews

Nextcloud container with preinstalled video preview generation

These are container images built using the official Nextcloud Apache images as source, adding the required packages to generate video previews.

A weekly build runs from the master branch.

I strongly recommend using a specific major version in your docker-compose, kube YAML files or scripts. This will avoid accidentally updating your instance.

Update to the image name

Starting from version 27.1.4 the image is the same as the repo, ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews

The old ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews/nextcloud still works, but pushes will stop at some point in the future.

Usage

Running using Podman Kube YAML

Running the Podman pod as a service with systemd

For detailed instructions on using these images, go to https://github.com/nextcloud/docker and https://docs.nextcloud.com/.

Simply use ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews:<version> instead of docker.io/library/nextcloud.

latest currently points to 27.1.x

To pull e.g. version 27.1.4:

podman pull ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews:27.1.4

The images have a convenience script installed that modifies config.php to actually enable the video preview generation. To use it, finish the first run wizard first, then

podman run <name-of-nc-container> enable-previews

if using podman. If using docker substitute podman with docker. The script makes a backup copy of config.php starting from versions 23.0.7 and 24.0.3 (noticed that feature missing a bit late)
