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?

    That is most definitely not the same thing.

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