Hello, I’m new to docker and find it quite hard to learn…I am currently trying to setup nextcloud with mysql but am also adding nginx-reverse proxy and letsencrypt because I am not sure how to modify the .yml file.The guide I’m following: [https://blog.ssdnodes.com/blog/installing-nextcloud-docker/](https://blog.ssdnodes.com/blog/installing-nextcloud-docker/)  
The error:  
nextcloud-proxy is up-to-date  
Starting nextcloud-mariadb …  
Starting nextcloud-mariadb … error

There is no `/etc/localtime` on Windows. Delete these lines or comment them out.
