PUQ Docker NextCloud deploy - N8N Workflow Directory

Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers who need to automate Docker management tasks for NextCloud deployments.
- System Administrators who manage web hosting environments and require efficient server management solutions.
- Businesses using WHMCS/WISECP that want to integrate NextCloud easily into their infrastructure.
- DevOps Teams looking for automated solutions to streamline deployment and maintenance processes.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the complexities of deploying and managing NextCloud instances on Docker. It automates tasks such as:
- Container Management: Start, stop, mount, and unmount containers without manual intervention.
- Network Configuration: Automatically update DNS records to ensure seamless access to services.
- Monitoring: Collect and report on container statistics, making it easier to monitor performance and resource usage.
- User Management: Simplify user management tasks, including password changes and user retrieval.

Workflow Steps

Webhook Trigger: The workflow is initiated via a webhook, allowing external systems to trigger actions.
2. Parameter Setup: Essential parameters such as directories and screen settings are defined.
3. Domain Validation: The workflow checks the incoming domain against allowed values to prevent unauthorized access.
4. Command Handling: Based on the command received (e.g., start, stop, mount), it routes to the appropriate action node.
5. Container Actions: Executes specified actions on Docker containers, including starting, stopping, or retrieving stats.
6. DNS Management: Updates DNS records through an API call to ensure the correct routing of the domain.
7. Response Handling: Returns a structured JSON response indicating success or failure, along with relevant data.

Customization Guide

Users can customize this workflow by:
- Modifying Parameters: Change the clients_dir, mount_dir, and other parameters in the 'Parametrs' node to suit their environment.
- Adjusting Conditions: Update the domain conditions in the 'If' nodes to reflect the domains they manage.
- Extending Commands: Add more commands in the 'Container Actions' switch node to handle additional Docker operations as needed.
- Integrating with Other Services: Connect to other APIs or services by adding new nodes for additional functionality, such as logging or notifications.
