Hi,
I am installed Nextcloud over DietPiOS. I am also running some docker containers with Cloudflared tunnel and making them online. It seems Nextcloud uses subfolder connection instead of port (like /nextcloud) I was able to configure port connections with Cloudflared but Nextcloud uses subfolder instead of port url.
I am wondering, how can I open Nextcloud for internet access with a subdomain?
Thanks.

I assume you use the defualt webserver lighttpd, then you can check this out:
[https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/docs\_modrewrite#With-mod\_redirect](https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/docs_modrewrite#With-mod_redirect)
There was also the same question in the past, it’s worth reading why it’s maybe not so a good idea / make thngs more complicated:

It uses the default HTTP/S ports 80/443 if that helps. AFAIK the subdir itself is not an issue for the Cloudflare tunnel.

@Jappe in meantime, we changed this behaviour and `lighttpd` is not the default web server anymore. We added a selection screen to ask which web server to install 😉

And Apache is the default now for non-interactive installs on new images if it hasn’t been changed in `dietpi.txt` 🙂.

Thank you for all your replies.
I am using Nginx as the default web server. In the Cloudflared config.yml file, when i use the path URL like I got an error.
Cloudflared config.yml
```auto
- hostname: nextcloud.sitename.com
service: http://localhost/nextcloud
```
`cloudflared tunnel run tunnel-name`
Output:
```auto
ERR Couldn't start tunnel error="http://localhost/nextcloud is an invalid address, ingress rules don't support proxying to a different path on the origin service. The path will be the same as the eyeball request's path"
http://localhost/nextcloud is an invalid address, ingress rules don't support proxying to a different path on the origin service. The path will be the same as the eyeball request's path

Did you tried to set `http://localhost` as service only?

Yes, that doesn’t work either.
Update: Yes, it works but with [subdomain.site.com/nextcloud](http://subdomain.site.com/nextcloud) How can i access Nextcloud directly wtih [subdomain.site.com](http://subdomain.site.com)?

This would require rewriting Nginx configuration files to create a VirtHost entry for Nextcloud running in webroot of nginx
