Migrated my self-hosted Nextcloud to AIO and I absolutely love it

Just wanted to share my happiness.

AIO is the new (at least on my timeline) installation method of Nextcloud, where most of the heavy-lifting is taken care of automatically.

This is all in one container? That is the exact wrong way to use docker.

No, you give the AIO container access to your docker daemon and it will create / handle / supervise all the other containers nextcloud needs.

Love me some docker compose! I switched from a manually built VM over to the AIO setup about a year ago and never looked back. It's been rock solid for me and my ~10 users so far.

It containerizes all the subcomponents under a mastercontainer, and even has support for community containers of things like pihole, caddy and dlna. So you have image control over each component, as well as codespace separation.

After 7 or 8 years of various forms of Nextcloud, I have to say this is the easiest one to maintain, upgrade and backup outside of my VM snapshots.

So it's sub containers?

Not really, it just makes containers in your docker, accessible like any others. The mastercontainer can be used to control and update them, but you can just exec -dit them like any other containers you find in your docker ps
