external storage to local docker mounts

[flower1024]

Hello,
i use external storage for other docker containers which need to change files.

my problem is that docker uses bind mounts for different volumes. so it takes a VERY long time to move large files from that local storage to the normal storage.
another problem is that nextcloud is unable to move directories as it insists to rename them instead of moving - something that is not possible between mounts

i'd suggest you change the VOLUME ["/srv/www/html" ] to /var/www. that way we can mount subdirs of that directory and they are on the same mountpoint from fpm-alpine point of view.

it also would be nice to change the uid of www-data. but this can easily done outside your dockerfile. see attached dockerfile as an example

I'd like to suggest to remove the VOLUME directive and give the consumers of the image the option to use volumes where they want (which is trivial with -v), instead of forcing in a specific path.

Hi @flower1024 - I'm following up on old issues. A few responses below. Part of the reason this probably didn't get a response is because it's really more appropriately split into 4 separate issues. :-)

I don't follow. Why can't you just point your configured volumes at your real storage? Also, you don't have to use bind mounts. Can you provide your Docker Compose file?

This is an upstream matter for NC Server, not the Docker image. That said, addressed in nextcloud/server#38623

i'd suggest you change the VOLUME ["/srv/www/html" ] to /var/www. that way we can mount subdirs of that directory and they are on the same mountpoint from fpm-alpine point of view.

Can you be more specific? Maybe provide a use case or example Compose file of a scenario you're thinking this would solve?

Added in #1812.
