This is a limitation of NC software not supporting PHP 8.2 atm. We added a small hack for Debian Bookworm to allow NC bypassing the compatibility check. You could try to adjust manually.

sed -i 's/>= 80200/>= 80300/' /var/www/nextcloud/lib/versioncheck.php

As well our install scipt expect PHP7.4 on Debian Bullseye. You might consider switching to Bookworm to get PHP8 support. #6227

Nextcloud 26 was just released btw, so PHP 8.2 support is there now.
