For a self hosted Nextcloud I turned to Ubuntu Server and LXD to create an LXC container for Nextcloud snap. There is a great community behind Nextcloud snap and support is fantastic. The greatness of Linux together with supported hardware enables anyone to run a 24/7 Nextcloud server.
My goal is a simple safe and reliable setup with ample resources for 5+ family users, affordable, efficient and low maintenence. My day job is software support for a leading WMS. I'm an avid scuba diver and enjoy Linux and FOSS. I'm a dad and husband thus I'm not keen on spending much of my free time doing server-maintenence.
If you would like to give it a try, head over to SCUBA's Nextcloud snap server setup & specs as a reference.

Having gained some Nextcloud snap experience I was asked to join the Nextcloud snap team to assist in testing PR's, supporting issues where possible as well as creating and maintaining the Nextcloud snap Wiki. That has certainly been an exciting journey and a valuable experience.
