Hello, I am in the process of converting from Apache to Nginx on my server. Nginx is different, but I believe that it will meet most of my needs better than Apache did. However, it is much harder to get working with Nextcloud. Here is my current server block config in /etc/nginx/conf.d/99-cloud.codedragon.dev.conf:
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
#server unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
server {
if ($host = codedragon.dev) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;

I used the example configuration in the Nextcloud documentation, but with a few tweaks to match my
specific configuration needs.
