Running Nextcloud on DockHive

Smallest size

Nextcloud needs at least a Small HivePod (about $4 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing. A Small pod needs more than the Free Tier's 1 vCPU, so use the Developer or Pro Plan.

Its database is included

Nextcloud comes with MariaDB inside the same HivePod, set up for you with its own generated password. Only the app can reach it, and you pay for the pod's size only.

Its own HTTPS address

Nextcloud gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.

Set up at install

The install form asks for 2 settings before Nextcloud starts, such as the details you sign in with. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.

Your data and backups

Nextcloud's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
