I plan to selfhost nextcloud, for now just for bookmark sync. is there a point to installing a vpn on the computer running the instance? it shouldnt matter as long as i have https right? what about if i dont have a domain? i cant have https without a domain (ill buy one later just want everything to work first). or maybe use one of those free domain providers for now to get https? what do you guys think?

I'd use a free dynamic dns hoster

You can get SSL easily with ngninx proxy manager and letsencrypt

Easy setup with podman or docker compose nextcloud
