404 Not Found nginx

ℹ️ Support

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 13.1-RELEASE-p9
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): replace me
PHP version (eg, 7.4): replace me

The issue you are facing:

When trying to connect to my nextcloud Server via FQDN, I get a “404 Not Found” error.

I want to host a nextcloud Server and for people to access it via FQDN over the internet.
I set up a dyndns with myfritz (Fritzbox as a router). Accessing my TrueNAS system with the same method worked fine.
Before having the 404 error, I used to have a “too many redirect” error in my browser; after I followed a guide on youtube, I changed my nextcloud.conf file and now I am stuck with the current 404 error. It’s important to mention that I only have a IPv6 address to connect to since I have a DS-Light connection. So I absolutely need to use IPv6 here.

I hope this provides enough information and somebody to maybe point me in the right direction;

I didn’t think it would be so difficult to get this to just work ^^’

Thanks a lot to anyone who reads this and is willing to help out!

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Make Self signed Certificate
  2. Change the /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf file
  3. Connect to nextcloud via the FQDN

The output of /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf:

    server unix:/var/run/nextcloud-php-fpm.sock;
