- stewbrew 5y agoIt's not much more difficult. Many hosting companies provide installers like e.g. cPanel that allow you to set up a Nextcloud instance within a minute.
- input_sh 5y agoPlenty of home/SMB NAS offer that. Plus there are projects like https://www.freedombox.org/ https://www.freedombox.org/. On top of that, many hosting providers offer to set up popular open source projects for you.

- bsenftner 5y agoLook at the Uniform Server, a complete WAMP stack pre-hardened for placement on a public server. Just run the installer, it is that easy.
- grishka 5y agoEven if it's "as simple as an app installation", you still need to have a public IP address that isn't behind a NAT. How many residential ISPs offer that?
