I wasn’t happy with the official doc that @jtr linked, so I wrote my own tutorial for ubuntu (almost the same for debian) > **[GitHub - jameskimmel/Nextcloud\_Ubuntu: Install Nextcloud on Ubuntu bare metal](https://github.com/jameskimmel/Nextcloud_Ubuntu)** > > Install Nextcloud on Ubuntu bare metal Let me know if that works for you or if you have any questions. ---

If you don’t have a domain, you won’t be able to get a cert or access it from remote or share files. Is that not a problem for you? My tutorial does not cover that special case, but you should probably be able to follow my NGINX proxy tutorial. Why? Well in the case of a NGIXN proxy in front of apache, apache also does not use ssl. I think the only thing you have to change is to delete the line with ServerName. [apache](https://github.com/jameskimmel/Nextcloud_Ubuntu/blob/main/nextcloud_behind_NGINX_proxy.md#apache2) ---

Perplexity answer to this Problem: > > There are several alternatives to reach Nextcloud from outside without using your own domain: > > 1. **DynDNS services** : Use a dynamic DNS service to assign a fixed hostname to your changing IP address[1][5]. > > 2. **VPN connection** : Set up a VPN (e.g. WireGuard) to securely access your home network[2][6]. > > 3 **Overlay networks** : Use services such as Tailscale or Netbird to establish secure connections without port forwarding[1]. > > These methods allow access to your Nextcloud instance without the need for a separate domain. ---

Hello, > [@Lambada\_Lambada](#): > > I do not have a Domain Any random extension domains are like less than USD 1 for the entire year. Domain is not the issue here. Actual issue is **CG-NAT** For outside access, Snap Nextcloud will happily work with any Public IP and self signed SSL certificate and port forwarding at your router level. But the question is, **do you have Public IP at your home router?** Sadly, more and more ISPs are pushing CG-NAT IP at home routers and there no conventional VPN would work. One bypass method is using Tail-Scale but that means each and everyone along with every device who wishes to access nextcloud needs to install & authenticate same tail-scale user account and then subsequently will have access to the entire home network. So for the question of outside access, first step I guess would be figuring out if you have Public IP at router level or not. Based on that your options will defer !! Thanks. ---
