I'm planning to set up Nextcloud server for personal use but I never did anything similar so I have 2 questions:

  1. Is there a way to turn on server remotely? I don't want to have it turned on all the time because I don't need that and I want to reduce power usage.
  2. Can I access my Nextcloud from anywhere or do I need to be connected to the same wi-fi or something similar to that?

These are probably trivial questions but again I don't have any experience with stuff like this.

  1. Will depend more on your os/hardware. You could probably turn it off and set it to wake up at a certain time each day with a cron job.

  2. Yes, will depend on how you setup access, either port forwarding or by running some sort of reverse proxy to make it available on a domain name.
