Description
Greetings,
I was following the instructions to install Nextcloud using the latest version of the Snap package on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and I couldn't connect to Nextcloud's web interface. The instructions at the following page https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/installation_wizard.html say to connect to http://localhost/nextcloud, but I got 404. I figured out after some time that the correct URL was http://localhost/.
I thought of letting you know so you can fix the docs, or fix the discrepancy in the snap package if the other methods (like the Docker container) actually work on that URL.
Best Regards,
Giacomo Guiduzzi

Research direction
Open the installation wizard page at docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/installation_wizard.html and compare its URL with the Snap installation behavior reported on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Verify whether the documented path should be http://localhost/ or http://localhost/nextcloud, then update the instructions so the documented URL matches the working installation.
