@scottalanmiller And for those without a proxy?

You can install nginx on the same server.

As the install instructions here do automatically.

There are things that it does better than Apache, but I just don’t see what parts of a Nextcloud instance would benefit greatly by it

Security and flexibility typically. Here is the admitted marketing material from Nginx on security: "Security and anonymity – By intercepting requests headed for your backend servers, a reverse proxy server protects their identities and acts as an additional defense against security attacks. It also ensures that multiple servers can be accessed from a single record locator or URL regardless of the structure of your local area network."
