Hi Luis
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.
Hope this helps
Paul
