Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it’s working great locally.

What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?

Your nextcloud isn’t public facing?

I don’t think so? It’s whatever the default is aha I am new to networking like this

Out of curiosity what are you using nextcloud for? Most people use it for public facing collab and sharing, and it’s an absolute beast to maintain because it’s so complicated.

I’ve been running it for years with very little maintenance… What about it is a “beast?”

Just google “nextcloud frustration”

Very basic backup system and cloud-ish storage. Mostly handy that I can access it from any device wireless cause I use a ton of different devices
