I will install nextcloud, the self hosted google drive and dropbox alternative

About this Gig
Your files, calendars and documents on YOUR server - no subscriptions, no data mining, no vendor deciding what happens to your data. I install Nextcloud, the self hosted alternative to Google Drive and Dropbox, and I do it properly.
I run three servers with about 150 containers in daily production, Nextcloud included. Self-hosting is what I do every day, not a tutorial I read once.
WHAT YOU GET: Nextcloud installed with Docker Compose on your hardware, your domain with real HTTPS certificates behind a reverse proxy, mobile and desktop sync apps connected, working backups tested with a real restore, and a short note explaining every change. No lock-in.
OPTIONAL: OnlyOffice or Collabora (edit documents in the browser), Talk (video calls), calendar and contacts sync, migration of your existing files from Google Drive or Dropbox.
WHERE I WORK: your VPS, dedicated server, home lab, NAS (Synology, QNAP, Unraid, TrueNAS) or Raspberry Pi, over SSH. A sudo user is enough.
NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED? Message me before ordering. Honest scoping costs nothing.

FAQ
What do I need to provide before you start?
Three things: SSH access to your server (a sudo user is enough), your domain name if you want HTTPS, and the list of apps you want installed or the exact error you are seeing. I handle the rest and send you a plain-language summary of everything I changed.
Is it safe to give you access to my server and data?
Fair question. A sudo user is enough (never share your root password), I can list every command I run, and nothing is copied off your machine. When we finish, delete my user and rotate credentials - I will remind you to. Your data stays on your server at all times.
