Hey friends. I finally fired nextcloud - and so should you.

edit: wow. reddit banned me for posting a link to my (completely unmonitezed, unproductized) blog in multiple r/selfhosted threads. I bet it's related to this lemmy link

Thanks for putting this together. I have been dragging my feet on self-hosting NextCloud, and now it looks like that procrastination may just work out in my favor.

One question, can I just run this on localhost and access through my local network instead of using a reverse proxy? If so, how? That's all I need, I don't use a reverse proxy now and would be fine just using a self-hosted VPN to access it when away from my private network. The docs make it seem like there is pretty stringent requirements on having to use a reverse proxy and certs, etc which was the same 'issue' I had with NextCloud. I guess I'm the minority here, but curious if anyone can help answer.

    You can absolutely use it without a reverse proxy. A proxy is just another fancy HTTP client that contacts the server on the original client's behalf and forwards the response back to it, usually wrapped in HTTPS. A man in the middle that you trust.

    All you have to do is expose the desired port(s) to all addresses:

    # ...
  - ports:
    - 8080:8080

    ...and obviously to set the URL environment variables to localhost or whatever address the server uses.
