Nextcloud is a powerful open-source platform that enables you to host and manage your own private cloud for file storage, collaboration, and sharing — ensuring full control over your data. Follow these steps to create a server, configure your deployment environment, and set up the Nextcloud application quickly and efficiently.
Note: To use the Nextcloud app, you need to set up a server with a ‘Docker + Nginx’ server.

Step 1: Create a Docker+ NGINX Server

First, you need to create a Docker server to deploy Nextcloud. Click the ‘Add New Server’ button on the dashboard and enter all the necessary credentials to connect your server. You can deploy Nextcloud either on your own server or on an ORIV server.
