Is there a Howto for dummies, about Nextcloud? :-)

Quickie: do you need to have a fixed IP for this? Or are the transfer 
done only inside the LAN?

I had no need for an SD cards in my phone for a long time (over a 
decade). However, in my new tablet I did install one, because I wanted 
to store many movies. I do not store movies in a phone, the display is
