    Hi all. I have installed FreedomBox from stable and on 1st run was
    sad to see that Nextcloud isn't included as an app to install on
    FreedomBox! Is there a how-to that is uptodate and shows how to
    install and setup on FreedomBox or should I uninstall FreedomBox and
    install Nextcloud as standalone app?

    I have no idea what your other requirements might be, so I cannot
    advise you on uninstalling FreedomBox. I expect, though, that almost
    anything FreedomBox might provide is available in native Debian.

    I have had Nextcloud running here for several years, and its
    predecessor, Owncloud before that. It has its own update system that
    works quite well. Just read the manual carefully and ask questions in
    the support fora.

    While FreedomBox is designed to provide easy access only to applications
    that are part of Debian, and Nextcloud is *not* part of Debian, it so
    happens that Nextcloud is important enough that FreedomBox made a very
    special exception for Nextcloud.

    So, I don't know why you have the impression that it's not included:
    it is. It's a recentish addition, so maybe the problem is simply that
    you need to update your FreedomBox?
