Hi. I want to start selfhosting my data. I already have a jellyfin server running. I’d like to add a nextcloud instance. The setup of nextcloud says I should open up port 443 for using my own domain. Sadly I am not able to open up this port properly. It is open however when I visit jellyfin.mydomaim.com it is rerouted to the config of my router. To circumvent this problem I have set up a reverse proxy that accepts port 8443 instead of 443. For my jellyfin this seems to work. I can visit it with jellyfin.my domain.com:8443. I don’t know how I can get this to work for nextcloud as it only accepts 443. Any advice on my setup is welcome! BTW I am running Debian on an old PC.
Thanks in advance for the help!

    No worries :) Let me rephrase the question though - what installation method would you be using if you could?

    So far I’m reasonably happy with a baremetal installation, but considering moving it into some kind of VM.

      @hello_world I would be using it in a VM or bare metal if I could. I have heard good things about Nextcloud in docker but we are power users on Nextcloud in my house so not sure if docker instance of nextcloud could handle the load.

        I’d hope for the exact same performance with Docker (or KVM) as on a baremetal host, unless you’re doing userspace networking for ultra-low latency Nextcloud :D (and even that I suppose you could PCI-passthrough the network card?)

          @hello_world I would agree. We have around 2 TB of data hosted on our snap nextcloud instance so I would not even know where to start if I ever wanted to migrate it to a separate instance on docker, VM or bare metal :(

            My condolences! Copying the data around may be reasonably straightforward if you can get it out of the snap (it’s just a directory, after all), but I have no idea how the database is setup for it. Good luck nevertheless!
