Building a Personal Cloud with Nextcloud on AIHostOn
Take back control of your data. A guide to installing and securing Nextcloud for files, contacts, and photos.
Introduction to Self-Hosted Cloud Storage
Why trust your private photos and documents to big tech companies when you can host them yourself? Nextcloud is an open-source platform that provides all the features of Google Drive or Dropbox, but on your own AIHostOn VPS. With our NVMe storage, your personal cloud will be faster and more responsive than most commercial services, and you'll have the peace of mind knowing that only you have access to your data.
Secure Installation and Performance Tuning
Installing Nextcloud is straightforward using our pre-configured Docker images. To ensure maximum performance, we recommend enabling 'Redis Memory Caching' within-Nextcloud and using an external S3-compatible backend for your massive file storage. Don't forget to enable Let's Encrypt SSL to ensure all your file transfers are encrypted with the latest standards.
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name nextcloud nextcloud:latest
