Unraid Nextcloud Docker - Private/VPN ONLY - No public access

VPN

I recently performed a reinstall of Nextcloud after moving. Staring from scratch. I ran into an issue that is indeed well documented. And, sorry for raising again but I am stumped based on my setup. I am receiving the following errors:

  • Your web server is not properly set up to resolve “/.well-known/webfinger”. Further information can be found in the documentation :up_right_arrow:.
  • Your web server is not properly set up to resolve “/.well-known/nodeinfo”. Further information can be found in the documentation :up_right_arrow:.
  • Your web server is not properly set up to resolve “/.well-known/caldav”. Further information can be found in the documentation :up_right_arrow:.
  • Your web server is not properly set up to resolve “/.well-known/carddav”. Further information can be found in the documentation :up_right_arrow:.

I see many references to correcting the problem including on github, most of which involve a proxy and external access. In my case I don’t have any external access and don’t want it. I VPN to my home network in order to sync with my Nextcloud server which is IP based only. No domain name.

Questions:

  1. Do I care about the errors in the scenario I described? What am I missing as any feature/functionality?
  2. Is there any solution that does not involve me having to play with proxies to resolve?

For anyone else pulling their hair out regarding these errors and nothing seems to work that is listed in the various posts on a variety of sites. The only reference I could find that specifically correlates these errors with a reverse proxy is this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD1-32yVe9E

At 4:52 into the video, you can see all the error listed.

At 6:52, after configuring a reverse proxy, (and Nextcloud respectively) , the errors are gone.

This leads me to believe that if I don’t use a reverse proxy, I don’t care about these errors. Again, I am only accessing Nextcloud internally or via VPN externally using the IP address.

Again, unless I am mistaken, just ignore the errors…

Can you access it at home?

Absolutely . At home and through VPN remote. I auto sync pics and doc. But, not sure if I will miss functionality related to errors such as if I want to sync calendar or contacts. I haven’t gotten that far. Perhaps other Nextcloud apps ?

I’m not familiar with those specific errors, but I do run mine behind a reverse proxy. I just set up the unRAID wireguard so I can access my home network I’ll try to do that and see if I get any errors. But without even doing that I wouldn’t guess that those errors matter if you are getting there expected behavior you want.

That is what I am hoping. I managed to eliminate all the others I had based on spaceinvader videos. (which are great) But, these have plagued me for a week. I will add that the idea of putting NC on SD has made a world of difference. There is virtually no latency. So, happy with that.
