I'm trying to build a cloud storage with NextCloud for personal use only, It's pretty easy to do it local, since you really don't have to change anything and it works fine, but my goal is to be able to access to my cloud whenever I want from wherever I want, I have been searching the net and there are a few options to do so.
I'm a newbie to servers and specially to truenas but I'm currently a IT student so it shouldn't be a problem with configs files and coding.
Anyways, I'm trying to access to my cloud from anywhere using DDNS with a subdomain in freedns.afraid.org.
I tried setting up port fowarding to the NAS ip and it works fine, the truenas gui appears and I can log in just fine, but I'm stuck here, I can't make it work with NextCloud.
I really don't know how to proceed, I dont know if I should use the default service provided by truenas to get up the DDNS or if I should just make a cron, i tried both ways and I didn't suceed , if anyone could point me to a step by step detailed guide or just help me over discord because its starting to be frustrating.
The closest that I've been to figuring it all out it just redirected me to a SLL error (which dont make any sense since I didnt even make it that far).
P.S: I guess the ultimate phase of the project would be to set up a VPN in the truenas server and make ir all work with that, but first I want to learn with DDNS and port forwarding cuz it seems like the best first step (knowing the dangers of opening ports and stuff, dont worry).
