Yes. To be clear, NextCloud offers three official installation methods:
* Archive file / source tarball, which, IIUC, requires you to configure
a LAMP stack yourself (they'll walk you through it, but in my
experience, this sort of thing is always tougher for non-experts than
the directions make it sound)
* Web installer, "the easiest way to install Nextcloud on a web space"
* Appliance, i.e., a pre-built VM, "designed to be an easy way for less
technical users to get Nextcloud up and running or to test it out" (so
perhaps only one level of containerization, not Docker on top of a VM,
as per another part of this thread)
