Firstly I am _not_ an expert at this, I have recently, however installed nextcloud into a docker instance. using instructions from here https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/debian/how-to-install-docker-on-debian-9.html However I did find that containers are stored in /var/lib/docker which caused a problem for me, as my / partition was small (about 30gb), the rest of the system was /home I re-installed debian and used / and /swap, hence more space for the containers. As this is a home LAN system, it works fine for me. I also found that restarting docker, also creates a new container each time, problem as at the time I was testing next cloud, etc I then found by using docker run -d --restart="always" -p 8080:80 nextcloud it started the same instance and the same container, Before (I was'nt starting with '--restart="always"' and I ended up with several containers, each time I restarted docker, so my previous container + user account were still there, just not loaded. Also found that systemctl docker start and systemctl docker enable the latter enables docker to start on boot, hence I can at least run the docker / next cloud server headless (to a point at least) Not sure if it is the recommended way though.
