+[Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) is an open source cloud storage and collaboration product. It allows access to files on the go from all kinds of devices and works across Linux, Windows, Android and more. I want to use this to host a media library while also allowing an easy way to upload files from lots of different devices.  
+
+I also want to use Nextcloud to backup other cloud services that I use, including Google drive, photos and Whatsapp. 
+
+[Plex](https://www.plex.tv/) Is a media streaming service which I can use to serve my media files on the go. It's available on lots of devices and can also be made available outside of the local network if needed, so you can access files on the go. 
+
+## Prepping the laptop to run as a server
+### Install ubunutu server, change default behaviours and mount the drive
+```
+sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
+
+# mask sleep, suspend and hibernate so laptop won't shutdown and stop serving
+sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target
+sudo service systemd-logind restart
+```
+
+### Set a static IP for the server
+
+### Enable portforwarding on the router
+
+### Firewall settings on the server
+```
+#enable ufw, allow ssh and restart the service
+sudo ufw enable
+sudo ufw allow ssh
+
+#Allow ports 80 and 8443 for nextcloud and port 32400 for plex
+sudo ufw allow 80
+sudo ufw allow 8443
+sudo ufw allow 32400
+
+sudo systemctl restart ssh
+```
+
+### Install docker
+```
+# Add Docker's official GPG key
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
+sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
+curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
+sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

+## Add the repository to Apt sources

+  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" |   sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
+sudo apt-get update

+
+#Run docker's hello world to check everything is working correctly
+sudo docker run hello-world
+
+#Remove docker from snap, this was causing issues with installing plex using docker compose
+snap remove docker
+reboot
+```
+
+### Add noip client for dynamic DNS
+Follow noip's configuration guide for setting up the dynamic dns client on the laptop. 
+
+### Install Nextcloud AIO
+```
+#Install nextcloud-aio using docker
+sudo docker run --init --sig-proxy=false --name nextcloud-aio-mastercontainer --restart always --publish 80:80 --publish 8080:8080 --publish 8443:8443 --volume nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer:/mnt/docker-aio-config --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro nextcloud/all-in-one:latest

+### Install Plex
+```
+#Create a compose.yml file to use with docker compose
+vi /opt/stacks/plex/compose.yml
