The apps mail, news and contacts will be installed and enabled in your instance automatically. Note that the Nextcloud version specified in <code>package</code> and <code>extraApps</code> need to match one of the stable Nextcloud versions available in the NixOS repository.

=== Caching ===
[[Redis]] can be enabled as a performant caching backend using following configuration. This will bring faster page loads to your Nextcloud instance.
{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
services.nextcloud = {               
  enable = true;       
  configureRedis = true;
  [...]
};
</nowiki>}}
Note that APCu will still be used for local caching, as recommended by Nextcloud upstream.

=== Enable Two-factor authentication ===
Two-factor authentication can be enabled for your server via the administration interface in your browser. There is no way to declare this setting via nix configuration, so you should follow the [https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_user/two_factor-auth.html official documentation] to set up Two-factor authentication.

For easy deployment, there's the [https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/richdocumentscode richdocumentscode app] which bundles the CODE server. While being less performant than a standalone deployment of the CODE server, this solution does not require an additional service to be deployed and managed externally from NextCloud. Unfortunately the richdocumentscode app bundles the CODE server as an AppImage and therefore does not work out of the box on NixOS. Follow https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/339798 if you want to get informed about packaging progress. Also CODE standalone is currently not packaged in nixpkgs (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/218878).

=== Memories ===
To enable hardware acceleration, nextcloud will need access to the graphics card with e.g:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
  users.users.nextcloud.extraGroups = [ "video" ];
  systemd.services.phpfpm-nextcloud.serviceConfig = {
    DeviceAllow = "/dev/dri/renderD128 rw";
    PrivateDevices = lib.mkForce false;
  };
</syntaxhighlight>You will still need to enable the relevant app configuration through "Administration Settings > Memories > HW Acceleration".
