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 and supervisord to use cron inside the container.

I'll try to keep up with Nextcloud's upstream releases. The build itself is automated, but requires a tag to be pushed before triggering, so there may be a slight delay before a new image version is built. The plan is to automate the whole process to automatically build images after upstream release.

Usage

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

Simply use ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews/nextcloud:<version> instead of docker.io/library/nextcloud. At the moment the images don't use the latest tag, so you'll need to use a specific version.

To pull e.g. version 24.0.3:

podman pull ghcr.io/0ranki/nextcloud-previews/nextcloud:24.0.3

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

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)
