Hi I have set up nextcloud on my RPi4 4GB running DietPi with lighttpd as the webserver and everything is working perfectly fine over the LAN. I have installed nextcloud & lighttpd directly to rpi from dietpi-software catalogue.
Although I want to access nextcloud over the internet and I know one way to do this is by setting up wireguard VPN and forwarding the port on which nextcloud is running BUT the thing is I dont see nextcloud running on any port.

I access nextcloud on LAN with the following URL, 192.168.0.145/nextcloud. Not sure what port should I forward from my router and have the same on wireguard to have nextcloud accessible.

Sorry if all this sounds confusing I am still new to this and am just not sure how to access my nextcloud over the internet.
Also if someone could link to any other guides or ways which dont use port forwarding that would work for my configuration would be great!
Thanks!
