Get started with a Linux server and then I'd go with something like Nextcloud in a Docker container. Then do reverse proxy, nginx on the host is very easy. You can get and update SSL certs with certbot (Let's Encrypt).

Just do Caddy instead of nginx/cerbot all that garbage. Caddy just simply handles it all for you: Subdomains, wildcard certs, authentication, ssl

My whole caddy config file is like 6 lines; something like

@mydomain.com {

ipaddress:port

path:/

}

And you can do all sorts of plugins that make it compatible with fail2ban, etc.

I hear Traefik is pretty easy to set up too.
