Cannot access Nextcloud server locally via domain and external IP
Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue with my Nextcloud server setup that I hope someone can help me troubleshoot. Here are the details of my setup and the problem I'm facing: I have successfully set up a Nextcloud server on my home computer running Linux Mint, using a LAMP stack. I registered a domain with Hover and pointed the DNS records to my correct Telus external IP address. In my Telus router (NH20A), under Network > Firewall > Port Forwarding, I configured two port forwarding rules: TCP&UDP forwarding for the internal (server) IP address for private and public ports 80. TCP&UDP forwarding for the internal (server) IP address for private and public ports 443. I initially tried setting them to TCP only, but that did not resolve the issue. Despite these configurations, I am unable to access the Nextcloud server using my domain or external IP when connected to my home network. However, I can successfully access the server using "localhost" on any computer connected to my Telus internet. I can access the Nextcloud server on external devices. Restarting the router did not resolve the issue, and Telus support was unable to provide a solution. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on what I might need to adjust or update to enable access to my Nextcloud server using the domain or external IP within my local network. Thank you for your assistance!Solved6.2KViews0likes6Comments
