There is nothing wrong with your layout. |

It is easier to have the webroot of multiple domains hosted under /var/www, |
| 41 |
each in their respective directory; e.g. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
/var/www/mydomain1/htdocs/ |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
/var/www/mydomain2/htdocs/ |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
... |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
/var/www/mydomain-n/htdocs/ |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
and leave /var/www/localhost/htdocs as the default catch-all apache webpage to |
| 52 |
be served for testing purposes. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Then set separate configuration files (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/* and /etc/ |
| 55 |
apache2/modules.d/*) for each domain, which you can easily clone/copy |
| 56 |
thereafter. |

nginx has a smaller footprint and it is faster than apache, especially when |
| 68 |
serving static websites. I understand NextCloud works with WebDAV and nginx |
| 69 |
also comes with WebDAV modules to allow this functionality. For low user |
| 70 |
numbers either will do, but if we're talking about a home grown embedded |
| 71 |
device acting as the server I would lean towards nginx or other light-footed |
| 72 |
servers. |
