Things to note:
- DO NOT DEPLOY THIS
- use nixos-container for testing instead
I've played around with nextcloud on NixOS, essentially following the
examples given in the NixOS manual and searching through some of the
other options. Nextcloud itself works fine with this setup, as does
its database (postgres), and most of the other basic stuff.
However, the nextcloud module as it currently exists appears to be fairly
limited and incomplete in its capabilities, e.g. lack of options for redis
or multiple php pools; in general, it lacks extraOptions-hooks. For redis
the documentation even explicitely notes (in caching.redis) that redis
requires additional options set in `config.php`, but it appears these cannot
currently be set using nix.
I guess we have as options:
- I missed something and it does in fact work
- we can wait for later versions; looks like 21.03 will add at least *some* more
- we can fork the module and add options ourselves
- we can configure it nextcloud by manually editing `config.php`, as it's not
actually inside the nix store but at /var/lib/nextcloud/config (veto)
See comments for additional notes and todos.
