I have an extra laptop with 8gb or ram that I want to turn into my Nextcloud server.

The steps that I think I need to take:

  1. Learn how to set up a server on a laptop.
  2. Learn how to install Nextcloud software on the server.

But I'm confused because I came across a video where someone set up Nexcloud right on their Windows laptop. Does that mean I can do that on my Ubuntu laptop?

With Ubuntu on that laptop, look into the snap package for nextcloud server. Everything I've heard about it is that its a great and pretty easy was to get a nextcloud server up and running.
