Reverse proxy setup for an absolute beginner

Hello

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to containers, docker, linux, etc. But I’m trying to figure things out because I really would like to be able to use NextCloud. I do have experience with webpages (php mostly) and databases (sql and phpmyadmin).

I am going through this guide: GitHub - nextcloud/all-in-one: 📦 The official Nextcloud installation method. Provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.
And have managed to install docker, but the next step is to setup reverse proxy and now I am stuck!

I am looking at this guide: all-in-one/reverse-proxy.md at main · nextcloud/all-in-one · GitHub

Already on point 1 I’m confused. Where can I find this web server config file that I am supposed to edit?

Adapting the sample web server configurations below

  1. Replace <your-nc-domain> with the domain on which you want to run Nextcloud.
  2. Adjust the port 11000 to match your chosen APACHE_PORT.
  3. Adjust localhost or 127.0.0.1 to point to the Nextcloud server IP or domain depending on where the reverse proxy is running. See the following options.

I really hope some kind soul out there will help me move forward with this.
Thanks in advance!
