I would like to set up nextcloud locally with postgres via docker. I am able to do so without attempting to use postgres (i.e. with default sqllite) but I run into problems when using postgres docker in conjunction with the nc image.

My laptop is Ubuntu 18.04.

Goal: I would like to have a containerized set up locally that I can easily (or at least somewhat easily) move to a cloud provider whenever I like. I'm setting up volumes for postgres as well as nc so that I can transfer everything to a remote as when I choose.

Here's my repo which includes Dockerfile and docker-compose:

Dockerfile: (Note I add smbclient since I learned the hard way that I need this to install the app for external storage, which I'd like to use)

I am currently setting up a Nextcloud server and have everything set up and working, except MySQL 4-byte character support. I am using the default package host for Ubuntu Server 20.04.1 LTS and the MySQL package from said host. It says that it's version is: 'Server version: 8.0.21-0ubuntu0.20.04.4 (Ubuntu)'

Nextcloud's Security & Setup Warnings section of the Administration page says that:

MySQL is used as database but does not support 4-byte characters. To be able to handle 4-byte characters (like emojis) without issues in filenames or comments for example it is recommended to enable the 4-byte support in MySQL. For further details read the documentation page about this.

The problem is that when I run the command show variables like 'innodb_file_format'; from said documentation page, it returns this:

I set up a nextcloud instance and I would like to download files from there using a python script. My nextcloud instance enforces 2-factor authentication for all users and I want it to remain that way.

My dream scenario would be to use the requests library, so following the docs here https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/15/developer_manual/client_apis/WebDAV/basic.html , I tried to do something like this:

I would like to create a base Vue app providing basic functionality like signing in, navigating through a sidebar etc. But the navbar items have to be interchangeable. I want to create separate Vue apps representing these navbar items.

Basic idea: A REST API and a basic container (Vue app), which is able to render other Vue apps in a specifc div element, should be provided. This would allow other ones to add their own frontend apps and work with that API if they want to. So I will just provide some basic apps. The main idea is to create a Plug and Play system for a very modular administration system. I will provide a registration process for that custom app so the API knows that app and it's base url and my base app can fetch all those apps.

Base app setup

So my base app provides a route for these custom apps

I've created a demo Nextcloud build(the backend seems to be SabreDAV) and enabled the calendar app. Functions like PROPFIND are working via CURL, but I can't create a new calendar(not a calendar object).

The MKCALENDAR functions doesn't exist on the server, so I'm using MKCOL based on the RFC5689 spec like so:

I need to use nextcloud with reverse proxy (virtual path), and i can't understand where i made a mistake. It is my config (after some simplifications)

I need to use Nextcloud WebDAV client api in node.js project. Nextcloud has MySQL DataBase. For request like this:

I need to check if I have a file in my Nextcloud before uploading another one (same name). I haven't found any way to do this using curl (the command I'm using to upload the new file). So, searching in the client API of Nextcloud I've found the webDAV search.

I've tried to use it before the upload to check if the file exists. This is what I've achieved:

I'm trying to create a calendar event in Nextcloud with PHP and cURL. After running the code from command line, I get the following error from Nextcloud 12:
