/home/data is not a useful location for the data directory, as in /home there are the home directories of the system users. You could put it into your personal user directory, say your user is dzhl, that would be /home/dzhl/data. I would prefer a directory like
/var/lib/nextcloud/data
In both cases remember that the data directory must be owned by the user that runs the web server.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/nextcloud/data
would do the trick.

only if he runs nginx processes as user www-data. unless it’s change in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf with a user www-data; statement the default nginx user is nginx.

just check with ps -ef | grep nginx
