How do I properly secure NextCloud server connected to the open internet? (lemmy.zip)

I have had a NextCloud up & running for a few weeks thus far and haven't had any problems. The reason I can't just connect to it via vpn is that I want to share links of files with other people. I always keep the system up to date and I think I configured nginx correctly. I have blocked all requests to ports other than 80 and 443, but the firewall is still not the best right now: someone can send many requests in a short timeframe. I have also used tools like pentest-tools.com and some others, but those say that there are no major vulnerabilities. I also keep track of logs with a tool called logwatch. Any tips and tricks or resources (articles, videos, etc) would be much appreciated. Or maybe you want to know more about my setup. I know that NextCloud can be really secure if everything is done right!

If you only share links with friends, I recommend adding geo block. Only open for your country of choice.

But I've hosted nextcloud for over 10 years now. No trouble (that I know of).
