a snap is a self contained (all bits an application needs are bundled
and sanely pre-configured) squashfs file. the raw squashfs (.snap file)
gets put into /var/lib/snapd/snaps/<snapname>.snap and then mounted to
/snap/<snapname> ... you can see the (readonly) content under
/snap/<snapname>/current ... all writable system bits of a snap package
go to /var/snap/<snapname>/currrent, there you would find the webserver
logs for example ...

note that the nextclud snap runs its own setup scripts on first start
to create the databases and such, it will take a bit (a few minutes at
most), then you can access it through the web interface with your
browser by either going to
http://localhost/ or http://<your_ip_address>/
and simply finish the configuration there (set an admin username and a
password and click the "finish setup" button) see [1] ...

the snap package will automatically update when nextcloud releases
(security) updates (completely independent of your OS underneath), the
security mechanisms of the snap packaging system will prevent it from
doing bad things to your OS. all executables are wrapped by seccomp,
apparmor and namespace confinement via the kernel to not access
anything of the system outside of their designed purpose.
