Work in Progress

This image is functional but may change significantly in a future release.

Breaking changes

untagged -> 0.1.0

config and data directories moved from /config/.opencloud to /config
Existing data will be moved automatically during container initialization.

Upgrade from 6.2.0 to 7.0.0

The upgrade requires a change to the configuration of the "sharing" service. Please follow the steps outlined in the Upgrade Guide to achieve that.

First run

OpenCloud generates a default config with insecure settings (no TLS validation) on first start or if the file /config/config/opencloud.yaml does not exist.

You can define the inital password for the admin user by setting the environment variable IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD like this:

services:
  opencloud:
    environment:
      - IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<your_admin_password>

If you do not set the password with the variable above, OpenCloud generates a random password for the admin user and you can find it in the logs or in the file /config/config/opencloud.yaml.

Remarks

So far I have only tested this image with bridge networking.
You may need to add an extra_host to your compose file to allow opencloud to connect to it's internal IDP. That is at least what I had to do.

services:
  opencloud:
    extra_hosts:
      - "host-hostname:127.0.0.1"

Additional environment variables

To configure OpenCloud further, you can check out the list of environment variables.

Implementation Details

Architectures: amd64
User: bsd (UID/GID set via PUID/PGID). Defaults to 1000:1000.
Base: Built on ghcr.io/daemonless/base (FreeBSD 15.1).
