This pull request changes our NextCloud image to use Debian Stretch as its base OS rather than Alpine Linux.
The main reason for this change is that Alpine has a known bug in its DNS resolution that prevents non-qualified host names from being resolved properly. This prevents our NextCloud image from being able to resolve external database servers, amongst other things.
Our previous base image was actually a bundle of Alpine with Nginx and PHP installed, so the changes here include additional steps to install and configure these base components, which we now have to do ourselves.
This addresses RDSSARK-527.
