Re: [gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Nextcloud-24.0.7 and proxy settings

[Alexander Puchmayr]

Hi there,

The problem has a rather simple cause and also a simple solution:

Nextcloud expects a working DNS server for resolving its own app server, 
*then* it is using the proxy to access it. 

After configuring a DNS proxy in my DMZ and ensuring that /etc/resolv.conf on 
the nextcloud instance is correctly pointing to it, it suddenly works :-)
