Hey @JunkerJoerg welcome to the nextcloud community :waving_hand:

there are several ways to mount Nextcloud WebDAV into your Ubuntu Desktop…

recommended methods

  • in Ubuntu online-accounts add your nextcloud account → HTTPS is required! enables WebDAV mount on the fly

  • your method, mount davfs via fstab → HTTPS is required, enables WebDAV mount at boot

  • third party app, use rclone to mount WebDav, HTTPS required, on the fly or scripted: rclone mount "$SOURCE" "$TARGET"

generally most modern apps and OS-integrations will require the source (nextcloud instance) to have a valid SSL certificate. self-signed certificates not recommended!
