It uses docker compose und a makefile for control.
See https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/

config

• nextcloud folder:
  create a folder or a symlink with the name nextcloud that points to your storage.

• nextcloud.env
  set username, password and server address here

• config/unsyncedfolders
  text file with folders NOT to sync, one line per folder

install

build the container with make build.
start the container with make up.
use run.sh to start the container with crontab. This shell script checks if the container is not already running.
for example to sync every 5 minutes add this to your crontab:
*/5 * * * * /PATH/run.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
change PATH to your path accordingly.

Because Sqlite journaling mode 'wal' doesn't work on mounted volumes, the environment variable
OWNCLOUD_SQLITE_JOURNAL_MODE=DELETE
is set to fix the 'Sqlite exec statement error: 5 "database is locked"' error.
