Support intro
Sorry to hear you’re facing problems. 
The community help forum (help.nextcloud.com) is for home and non-enterprise users. Support is provided by other community members on a best effort / “as available” basis. All of those responding are volunteering their time to help you.
If you’re using Nextcloud in a business/critical setting, paid and SLA-based support services can be accessed via portal.nextcloud.com where Nextcloud engineers can help ensure your business keeps running smoothly.
Getting help

Before clicking submit: Please check if your query is already addressed via the following resources:
- Official documentation (searchable and regularly updated)
- How to topics and FAQs

(Utilizing these existing resources is typically faster. It also helps reduce the load on our generous volunteers while elevating the signal to noise ratio of the forums otherwise arising from the same queries being posted repeatedly).
Hallo, I don’t want to open port 80/443 permanently to my nextcloud AIO. Unfortunaly my local DNS server (pihole) does not correctly forward the DNS to local IP, I can’t figure out why (I set it in “local DNS”). Is there a possibility to change the whole setup to IP-based? What would you recommend?
