1. Access your OpenLiteSpeed dashboard.

OpenLiteSpeed panel is installed on port 7080 per default.

You can access it by visiting <server's_IP>:7080

2. Create a new VHost.

Here's how you can create a new Virtual Host:

3. Fill in things according to this information.

Host root being /usr/local/lsws/Example/

And the config being /usr/local/lsws/conf/vhosts/nextcloud.conf

And enable both Restrained and Scripts/ExtApps

If you'd like to change the address of Virtual Host Root or Document Root, make sure they actually exist in the server!

4. Edit the new VHost.

Now, we must inflict some changes to the Virtual Host we just created, so click on your new VHost!

5. First check the basic tab to make sure everything's alright.

6. Add Document Root and Domain Name in the general tab.

The document Root should be /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/

And the domain name should be where you'd like your Nextcloud to be!

7. Create an "External Application"

Select Web Server and proceed

Name it nextcloud

Define the address as the default 127.0.0.1:11000, or what you selected during installation

8. In the same VHost, Create a "Context"

Set the new Context to proxy and proceed

Add "/" as URI, and select your Nextcloud web server

9. Go to the Listener settings

Add a new Virtual Host Mapping

Now select your Nextcloud VHost and write in your desired domain address

10. Congratulations.

Just do a graceful restart by pressing on this green restart icon, and you should be good to go.
