Two Nextcloud instances for security? - eviltoast

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?

    Aren you sharing files to collaborate or just “send things to others?”

    You could just setup nginx or apache and put files in a directory that it serves and send the link to your friends.
