    10.x.x.x is a private range. It won’t be your externally visible internet address but it might be your router’s WAN address if your upstream ISP is performing a NAT for IPv4 or if you have multiple chained routers in your network. If that is your router’s WAN address you likely won’t be able to use port forwarding for external access.

    You can find your external address by visiting ifconfig.me or from a linux shell running curl https://ifconfig.me

    My recommendation would be to start from the other direction instead. Try and get the reverse proxy working with a SSL and a test page then work on making your nextcloud instance visible. You can use a tunneled service from cloudflare or tailscale to avoid the port-forwarding and add a layer of security.
