Your files, your cloud
Nextcloud hosting on Appbox. Deploy file sync, sharing, and optional collaboration apps on infrastructure you control, with HTTPS and panel-managed lifecycle.
What you get with Nextcloud hosting
A full Nextcloud instance sized for the Appbox template, with the URLs and credentials you need to sign in.
Files and folders
Use the web Files app for uploads, versions, favorites, and trash, then add desktop or mobile sync clients when you are ready.
Sharing controls
Share with users or links, set expirations and passwords where supported, and keep visibility inside your tenant.
HTTPS URL
Open the NextCloud URL from the Overview tab so browser and clients match the hostname Appbox provisions for TLS.
WebDAV ready
Mount the server with WebDAV-compatible tools using your account or app passwords configured inside Nextcloud.
App ecosystem
Enable calendars, contacts, Talk, office integrations, and other supported apps from the Nextcloud app directory when your plan allows.
Admin policies
Tune quotas, brute-force protection, and background jobs from the admin settings once you sign in with the install credentials.

Running on Appbox
How this template behaves as a managed app on the platform.
Docker-backed app
Nextcloud runs as a single Appbox app with RAM and CPU shown on the instance page. Restart and boost apply through the panel without you SSHing to the host.
CLI when exposed
When the template exposes SSH command details on the Overview tab, use them for occ and maintenance tasks; otherwise rely on the web admin and documented workflows.
Per-App Boost
Large libraries, previews, and background jobs benefit from extra RAM and CPU. Increase resources with Per-App Boost instead of guessing host limits.
Panel lifecycle
Start, stop, restart, and uninstall from Actions. Follow store notes for image updates and supported upgrade paths.
