I think it is not a good idea to use Nextcloud in webspace. There are a lot of also free Nextcloud hosters and if you trust your webspace provider you can also trust a Managed Nextcloud provider.

In older versions (till Nextcloud 18) there was an app [OCC Web](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/occweb). But i do not know if it still works in Nextcloud 23. Also - if you can use cron jobs you can perhaps use cron to execute the command.

Some php installations also allow exec from shell. But i think that is not possible on your webspace. Then you can test this php file:

php exec:
