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, resolving issues where possible and creating/maintaining the Nextcloud snap Wiki. That has certainly been an exciting journey and a valuable experience.
