Running opencloud - great nextcloud replacement - Byte Pursuits

I’ve been running owncloud, then nextcloud for years. While it worked I was never very happy with it. Performance was always lackluster even for 1-2 users, features added are seemingly superfluous and was never something I wanted or cared about (groupware, AI assistant, talk features – don’t use, need or care).

    Thanks for putting this together. I have been dragging my feet on self-hosting NextCloud, and now it looks like that procrastination may just work out in my favor.

    One question, can I just run this on localhost and access through my local network instead of using a reverse proxy? If so, how? That’s all I need, I don’t use a reverse proxy now and would be fine just using a self-hosted VPN to access it when away from my private network. The docs make it seem like there is pretty stringent requirements on having to use a reverse proxy and certs, etc which was the same ‘issue’ I had with NextCloud. I guess I’m the minority here, but curious if anyone can help answer.
