In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up a Nextcloud home server, with a focus on troubleshooting the Nextcloud Android app when using the Community Nextcloud Docker image and Caddy reverse proxy. We will cover key concepts, provide detailed context, and use subtitles and code blocks to help you understand and implement the solution.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
- A fast web browser
- A phone or tablet with the Nextcloud Android app installed
- An SSL certificate for your domain
Step 1: Setting up Nextcloud on your Home Server
