This term is confusing. Does your ISP provide a Static IP or a Dynamic IP?

You’ll need to:

  1. Map the Nextcloud / Truenas device to an ip.add.re.ss within your network via
  • DHCP Reservation on your router
  • or, by defining a static IP on your router
  1. Port forward 443 and 80 ports for the device ip.add.re.ss you defined in Step 1. This is also done on your router. It will be required by Let’s Encrypt in Step 4.
  2. Define a “Trusted Domain” within Nextcloud that includes each way you want to connect:
  • domain.duckdns.org
  • or, domain.noip.com
  • ip.add.re.ss (for accessing on your local network)
  1. Obtain a Let’s Encrypt certificate for whatever dns service you are using.
  • domain.duckdns.org
  • or, domain.noip.com
  1. Profit.

Try searching this forum, read Nextcloud Admin documentation and trying searching the internet for keywords. All of the information is out there for you to setup Syncthing and Nextcloud, but it will require doing some searching and taking notes. Best of luck.
