Quickly and easily install Nextcloud

Install Nextcloud - My Way

Rule 1: use Ubuntu / any other debian OS

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Clear all firewall rules

I believe its better to configure firewall from the Cloud Provider's settings.

sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

sudo iptables -F

You can also alternatively after clearing existing rules, install UFW and manage firewall rules from there.
