nextcloud-notify-push - Docker mod for Nextcloud

This mod adds a service to start the notify-push binary.

Requirements

• Redis configured in your config.php

Setup

1. Download and install the "client-push" (notify-push) app from the Nextcloud store.

2. Add DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:nextcloud-notify-push to your env.

3. notify_push should be running and **** Starting notify-push **** appear in the log. Also check for errors.

4. Configure your reverse proxy for notify push.

5. run occ notify_push:setup https://cloud.example.org/push to test and enable notify-push, replace "cloud.example.org" with your domain.

Traefik configuration

notify-push listens on its own port, therefore we need to to forward all traffic under example.org/push/* to port 7867.

We need to add an additional router and service to the container. Having more than one router requires to explicitly configure more options. Additionally a new middleware to strip the /push prefix.

Replace "cloud.example.org" for both routers with your domain!

Before

    ...
    labels:
        - "traefik.enable=true"
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.entryPoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.rule=Host(`cloud.example.org`)"
        - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.port=443"

After

    ...
    labels:
        # Nextcloud
        - "traefik.enable=true"
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.entryPoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.rule=Host(`cloud.example.org`)"
        - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.port=443"
        # add service
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.service=nextcloud"

        #Notify-push
        # forward cloud.example.org/push/*
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud_push.rule=Host(`cloud.example.org`) && PathPrefix(`/push`)"
        # entry point
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud_push.entryPoints=https"
        # set protocol to http
        - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud_push.loadbalancer.server.scheme=http"
        # set port
        - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud_push.loadbalancer.server.port=7867"
        # use middleware
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud_push.middlewares=nextcloud_strip_push"
        # define middleware
        - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud_strip_push.stripprefix.prefixes=/push"
        # add service
        - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud_push.service=nextcloud_push"

Validation

1. Read the section about the Test client. Create an app password and connect to your server

   test_client https://cloud.example.com username password
   

2. Run occ notify_push:metrics. Step 1 can be skipped if real clients are already connected.
