Configuration Parameters

Credentials

Parameter	Default	Description

NEXTCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD ⚠️	auto-generated	MySQL database user password.
NEXTCLOUD_DB_ROOT_PASSWORD ⚠️	auto-generated	MySQL root password.

NEXTCLOUD_DATA_SIZE	30Gi	Persistent volume size for user files.
NEXTCLOUD_SSL_ENABLED	true	Enable HTTPS with automatic certificate via sslip.io.
NEXTCLOUD_HOSTNAME	auto (sslip.io)	Custom hostname. If left blank, the URL generated by Cuemby will be used.

‍

⚠️ The NEXTCLOUD_DATA_SIZE volume grows with usage. Plan your storage space according to the expected number of users and files.

First Steps (quick start)

Open the URL and log in with the admin username and your password.
Create additional users from Administration → Users.
Install additional apps from Administration → Apps (calendar, contacts, Talk, Office, etc.).
Configure the desktop or mobile client with your instance URL to synchronize files.

💡 Tip: To use your own domain, configure NEXTCLOUD_HOSTNAME with your domain before deploying. Changing it afterward requires manually updating the configuration in config.php within the pod.

‍

Synchronization clients

Platform	Download
Windows / macOS / Linux	nextcloud.com/install
Android / iOS	Search for "Nextcloud" in the app store

Quick Troubleshooting

Problem	Probable cause	Solution
Site not loading	Nextcloud initializing	Wait ~5 min and check tail -f /var/log/cuemby/bootstrap.log.
Trusted domain error	Access from an unregistered domain	Add the domain in Administration → Overview → Security & setup warnings or in config.php.
Files are not syncing	Incorrect URL on the client	Verify that the client points to exactly the same URL that you use in the browser.
Slow performance	Cache not active	Verify that the Valkey pod is running with kubectl get pods -A \| grep valkey.
Pod in CrashLoopBackOff	MySQL is not ready yet	Please wait a few minutes; Nextcloud requires the database to be available before starting.
