Hosting a website with Nextcloud?
-
Anyone use NextCloud to host a website WITHOUT PicoCMS (which is awful to setup)?
I would be most interested in a standard Apache driven site with PHP access whose content would be housed in Nextcloud on the same server.
I have a customer that uses an offline website generator and then uploads the files to his web host. For a variety of reasons, moving this to a Nextcloud install would be really helpful for him and his other cloud storage/file sharing needs.

This feels like a crazy idea. But I assume if you just put the site inside the folder in a folder that NC doesn't use, that it would "just work."

So are wanting to do something like this but with Apache?
-
Is this a challenge to yourself? If not there are many better ways.

Umm Nextcloud runs on Apache (default) or Nginx.
Both are web servers.
So if you want them to serve up something else, you simply tell them to do so.

I know. I'm looking for a solution inside nextcloud.

That is not what it does, so you won’t find it.

@JaredBusch stop being closed minded. There are tons of apps that allow Nextcloud to do things it didn't do at one time or another.

Sorry for late delay, and not meaning any disrespect. From what I know of Nextcloud this would be difficult. I am certainly not one to keep up with every little detail though or change within its ecosystem though. With that said I would have to ask why are you trying to find a webserver solution within Nextcloud and not just use something quick and easy like github/gitlab pages, Hugo, Publii, Jekyll, Blogdown, and other similar things. These are usually all you need unless you have to create a ecommerce site or other complicated situation.

I tried a simple web hosting test, but it didn't work. I think you'd have to write a plugin to handle it.

Why would you want it to? The platform it runs on is made for this. Who would have any use-case that would add many layers of abstraction and orders of magnitude slower than the platform it's hosted on?

Which is also already solved with scp.

But once you upload it, it won't show it because of the rewrite rules.

Basically, without a plugin for it, static pages can't be displayed out of the PHP application. NC is a single app, not a collection of pages with some PHP inline. So a plugin approach is necessary.
