I want to set up a server on an old laptop at home to synchronize my Obsidian notes and some pdfs. I'll install Nextcloud AIO but I have a question about domain.

Do I need to buy a domain name for the sync to work properly? I created a dynamic dns account on Noip but I don't know if this is a temporary solution or permanent?

If the domain is necessary, is it enough to just buy a domain or do I need to buy a hosting package or something?

From the Nextcloud AIO GIthub page:

"Can I use an ip-address for Nextcloud instead of a domain?

No and it will not be added. If you only want to run it locally, you may have a look at the following documentation: local-instance.md"

Thank you, I have read these but I didn't understand well because of my English.

I couldn't get AIO work with Tailscale. I install Nextcloud Snap, it works well now.
