Setup Of Nextcloud on Linux mint

[Ivan_Lam]

Hello, new to Linux and looking to setup this up to host my own cloud storage.

So far with help with help on the Linux mint forum I have installed docker as it was a recommended way to run next cloud.

Ive got no idea how to go from here, Ive downloaded also nextclould-desktop and next cloud desktop client from the linux mint software manager as well but have no idea if im doing the right thing.

Im a bit lost and was hoping to find some beginner friendly help to get this running.

TBH you’d be better off getting a hosted solution first and then trying self-hosting when you’re sure you know what you require and why…
