About Nextcloud
Nextcloud Hub: file sync and share, calendar, contacts, talk and office apps, with desktop and mobile clients. Files live on a persistent volume; metadata in a PostgreSQL database from your workspace.
What you get
- Admin account created for you — Log in straight away with the admin credentials you set (or that were generated)
- Behind HTTPS — Configured for the platform address, so sync clients and links just work
- Persistent files — Everything uploaded lives on a dedicated volume - grow it from Settings › Storage as you need
Storage that survives a restart
Nextcloud is deployed with a persistent volume. They keep their contents across restarts, redeploys and resource changes, and can be resized later.
- nextcloud_data — 50 GB — Files, apps and configuration
How deployment works
- Click Deploy Nextcloud and sign in to your Nexent Cloud workspace (or create one - it takes a minute).
- Name the app and adjust CPU, memory and storage if the defaults don't fit; the price updates as you go.
- Nexent provisions the containers, their persistent volumes and a
*.nexentcloud.comaddress with TLS. Add your own domain afterwards from the app's settings.
Good to know
- Log in with the admin username and password from this app's Settings > Environment; the first start takes a minute or two.
Questions about Nextcloud hosting
How much does hosting Nextcloud cost?
$11.05 a month, or $110.48 a year. That covers 1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory, 50 GB of persistent storage and 200 GB of bandwidth, with TLS and an address included. Resources can be changed afterwards and the price follows them.
How long does it take to deploy Nextcloud?
About 5 min. Nexent Cloud pulls the image, attaches the storage it needs and issues a certificate for its address; you do not configure a server, a reverse proxy or a certificate renewal.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every app gets an address on nexentcloud.com with TLS immediately, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the app’s settings - the certificate is issued and renewed for you.
Is my Nextcloud data kept when it restarts?
Yes. Nextcloud is deployed with a persistent volume (nextcloud_data 50 GB), which survive restarts, redeploys and resource changes.
Can I move away later?
It is standard Nextcloud, running in a container from the upstream image - not a fork and not a managed variant. Your data is on a volume you can back up and take with you.
