Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I think for the Nextcloud federation to work, both instances need to be publicly accessible.
Not true, both instances need to be able to reach each other through a domain, but they don't both need to be public.
Eh, that is the same thing. I wasn't talking about public registrations or so.
That is most definitely not the same thing.
What do you think having a public IP means then?
For the described scenario only one public IP is necessary. The other Nextcloud instance could have an internal IP only.
Aren you sharing files to collaborate or just "send things to others?"
You could just setup nginx or apache and put files in a directory that it serves and send the link to your friends.
I run two nextcloud instances for this exact purpose (set up using this role so it's not more complex to manage than just one instance).
Personal instance on home server, shared instance on rented VPS. When I want to share a file/folder I just copy it to the VPS instance and use the "share by link" feature.
