*Description*

Marketing Guy sets up NextCloud File Server (with errors, issues, and explanations). Sometimes it's a good idea to document your own actions :)

Guide for an imperfect setup of NextCloud (especially if your ISP has port restrictions). I used multiple guides to install my own NextCloud server on a Raspberry Pi v4. Over the course of install there were several issues that blocked it from working such as missing instructions from guides, my ISP blocking port 80, and even human error.
