Hi, finally setting up Nextcloud in an effort to de-Google myself and replace GDrive for good.

I am currently running Nextcloud via Tailscale and that works fine except for when i want to share a file to someone outside of my Tailnet. I have heard of federated Nextcloud but i am not sure that i quite understood the purpose of this or maybe there is a better solution? If i run two instances like that, will i simply be able to share certain files over to that instance for sharing?

Eh, that is the same thing. I wasn't talking about public registrations or so.

That is most definitely not the same thing.

What do you think having a public IP means then?

For the described scenario only one public IP is necessary. The other Nextcloud instance could have an internal IP only.
