There is the concept of federated sharing: [Configuring Federation Sharing — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/20/admin_manual/configuration_files/federated_cloud_sharing_configuration.html) But it does not have a cache, the files remain on the file owner’s storage.

I want to mirror two instances of nextcloud on two different hardware servers in two different locations. Is this possible and in which way should I do this.

This is not a HA or standard cluster method just a simple and raw method to replicate servers. Maybe just aimed at local Lan and public cloud replication of two servers, as I am aware the more you push this the more likely a replication conflict is likely to occur. It would be handy to be able to use the speed of a local lan with a local server and that replicates to a cloud server, depending where you con… --- _[View the full topic](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/installing-localserver-as-a-mirror-of-mainserver-which-already-hosted-online/108515)._
