Open port 80/443 on your internet router and forward port to NC device.

Also, you need to set up a ddns service if your nextcloud isnt on a fixed IP address as well as get a SSL certificate for privacy and security purposes.

You forward ports to your DietPi device? Did you tried to access from outside of your local network using a mobile device? Are you using a DDNS or your external IP? Your DDNS is correctly updated?

yes I forward ports to my dietpi device. I’ve tried to access outside from my local network but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried ddns and external ip. yes my ddns is correctly updated.
