Pick one of your servers, choose Nextcloud from the one-click catalog and give it a domain. Nuvlo starts the containers with generated passwords, points the domain and issues the certificate.

Sign in as admin with the generated password. It is a heavier app, so the first boot can take a minute.
Is Nextcloud backed up?
Yes. Apps are sites like any other, so they use the same backup schedules and your own storage bucket.
Who updates Nextcloud?
You do. Nextcloud keeps the version it was installed with; to move to a newer release, pull the new image on the server over SSH. The dashboard has no update button for apps.
Does Nuvlo charge per app?
No. You pay your Nuvlo plan and your cloud provider for the server, and Nextcloud itself is free to self-host.
