Today, oh wait, yesterday too, I've been annoyed about how hard it seems to migrate from a "install PHP and run NextCloud" instance to "run Docker NextCloud".
Now, I don't consider myself a novice in hosting web services of various flavours. I'd argue somewhat completely opposite. I've hosted various services since the BBS times (if you don't know what that means, you're just not old enough). However here, NextCloud just got the better of me. No amount of reading the NextCloud Docker docs or trying to figure out things myself or searching for people with similar issues, all I get from NextCloud is:
Configuration was not read or initialized correctly, not overwriting /var/www/html/config/config.php
In the order of unhelpful error messages, this is pretty much 🖕 all the way. Yes, I've double and triple checked my mount file permissions. May just need to bite the bullet and install PHP on the new server I want to migrate to 😭 Maybe this is just another PHP thing.
