Nextcloud

• Version: 5.0.0
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS)
• Category: Business Apps

Description

Nextcloud is a self-hosted file storage and collaboration platform that puts you in full control of your data. Rather than relying on third-party cloud providers, your files live on a server you manage — giving you complete privacy and data sovereignty.

Nextcloud Hub integrates four core products in a single deployment:

• Nextcloud Files — store, sync, and share files with fine-grained access controls
• Nextcloud Talk — video calls, webinars, and team chat
• Nextcloud Groupware — email, calendaring, and contacts
• Nextcloud Office — real-time collaborative document editing

An app store with over 300 extensions adds further functionality including forms, project management, password managers, whiteboards, e-signature handling, and integrations with tools like Miro, Slack, and Moodle.

This image uses the Nextcloud All-in-One deployment, which includes a high-performance backend for Files and Talk, BorgBackup-based backup, Imaginary for image processing, ClamAV antivirus, and full-text search.

Getting Started

1. Deploy Nextcloud on an EasyCloudify VPS

Deploy this app from the EasyCloudify Marketplace.

2. Set Up DNS (Recommended)

For a proper production setup, create a DNS A record pointing your domain (e.g., nextcloud.yourdomain.com) to your VPS IP address.

3. Access the Admin Interface

Option A — via your domain (after DNS propagates):

https://nextcloud.yourdomain.com:8443

Option B — via IP address directly:

https://your-vps-ip:8080

Both endpoints display the initial password needed to begin setup.

4. Complete the Setup Wizard

Follow the on-screen instructions in the Nextcloud AIO admin interface to:

• Configure your domain name
• Enable optional modules (Talk, Office, Backup, ClamAV, etc.)
• Start all containers

5. Access Your Nextcloud Instance

Once all containers are running, your Nextcloud instance is available at:

https://nextcloud.yourdomain.com

Key Features

• Self-hosted — your data never leaves your infrastructure
• End-to-end encryption for sensitive files
• Fine-grained sharing controls and file access rules
• Video conferencing and team chat (Nextcloud Talk)
• Collaborative document editing (Nextcloud Office)
• 300+ apps in the Nextcloud app store
• LDAP, SSO, and OpenID Connect authentication support
• Audit logs and compliance reporting

Post-Deployment Notes

• The AIO admin panel is accessible on port 8443. Keep this port secured or restrict access to trusted IPs.
• Backups are managed through the AIO interface using BorgBackup.
• To update Nextcloud, use the AIO admin interface — it handles all containers automatically.
