The complete guide to installing Nextcloud on Debian 10

By Albin / 2020-02-24

The guide somewhat resembles the WordPress how-to – as we did then we set up a database, a web server and a website written in PHP that is meant to sit behind a reverse proxy giving it a secure connection to the internet.
