- `80/TCP`: redirects to Nextcloud (is used for getting the certificate via ACME http-challenge for the Mastercontainer)
- `8443/TCP`: Mastercontainer Interface with valid certificate (only works if port 80 and 8443 are open/forwarded in your firewall/router and you point a domain to your server. It generates a valid certificate then automatically and access via e.g. `https://public.domain.com:8443/` is possible.)
