That's why I keep nextcloud behind http basic auth. Don't trust those software to expose them directly to Internet.
Like Authelia?
Basic auth is better than no auth, but it is absolutely not a recommended auth method these days
I use it on top of nextcloud auth
Basic auth is a base64 of your login credentials, might as well be plain text. You should absolutely not be using basic auth if you have other options
This would prevent nextcloud sync and phone apps from proper access wouldn't it?
