docker/nextcloud: too many redirects

jochen02 · October 31, 2017 at 3:30 PM

Hello,

I tried to install/config nextcloud on tvheadend 8.2 (odroid C2).

Installation of docker and nextcloud workd without visable errors. If I try to log in to nextcloud I am asked to create an admin account and data storage. If I go further (assuming finish the config) I get the error message ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS. It's on URL https://[server]/index.php/apps/files/

I did not change anything of the configuration. Data storage resides below user_data.

What's the problem here?

Thank you in advance for helpful hints.

I just set up a fresh instance on a chromebox running LE 8.2 and after setting up with an sqlite database, I have no issues logging in and using it.

Can you provide more info?

Which LE distribution? X86? Arm?

Are you using the LE box's IP address to access, or a domain name forwarded?

Check the nginx logs under the config folder, both access and error and they might tell you what's wrong.

It's LE 8.2 on an Odroid C2 (arm).

The host/domain from within my home network. Names resolved by own DNS.

I just tried to access using the IP -- it works! I'll check with my DNS if the host is CNAME.

Thank you for the hints. They put me on the right track.

It has not been a persistant solution.

Now, the problem occurs when using host, fqdn or IP.

The host is resolved correctly (with or without domain) and in both directions. I didn't try it from within the docker container cause I don't have a shell in the container.

Hello,

no idea what the reason may be?

Meanwhile I removed the container and it's configuration data. Then I reinstalled nextcloud and it works.

Don't know what happened.. Maybe something odd in the configuration.
