Hi all,
On my RT-AX86U Pro I have samba and OpenVPN set up. I can access samba shares locally and when not at home, I can just connect with OpenVPN to my router and browse files on samba shares. So far so good.
I have been researching Nextcloud for some time, as an improvement to my set up. I read that if I include my files within Nextcloud, I should not run samba on the same files, 'cause Nextcloud keeps track of files/directorieswithin in it's own database.
And with Nextcloud, I'd have get another miniPC device, disk drives, maintain it etc ...
I still would like to have a great functionality from Nextcloud - being able to share local directory (Nextcloud generates the link) with public - so I can share this link, and ask anybody to drop files there:

I was wondering, if I am the only one whou would appreciate this, maybe there is an amtm script for it already or other solution for this to work ? I don't really need whole Nextcloud functionality, this is the only thing I need really :)

I can imagine it would require web app + SSL certificate and some more setup, should't be that difficult, am I wrong ? If it doesn't exist already I was thinking I might work on it .. (not saying I have all the knowledge needed to pull this one off)
