just as a sidenote ... did you consider using the nextcloud snap ?

it is maintained by nextcloud themslves, updated timely and completely
independent from the OS or the deb (usually new releases are
immediately available when upstream releases) and thanks to the
isolated nature of snap packages nothing can interfere with any system
databases...
