Nextcloud pod with Podman + Quadlet

oranki.net Self Hosting My Way - Nextcloud

Nextcloud, the go-to for most self-hosters, doesn’t really need introductions. This post has been long in the making, mainly due to my recent change from running everything with Podman to Kubernetes with k3s. Long story short, k8s is fun and interesting, but Podman pods are rock solid. I had an acci...

This is on my todo list. I use Docker-compose for it's simplicity, but Docker is a security nightmare. If you are not careful, it would expose your Nextcloud instance to the whole world. Podman integrates nicely with firewalld which gives me zone based rules. Can't wait to do this. But I will give sometime to let Quadlet get stabilized and popular.

Solid setup! Thanks for sharing.
