Best free Nextcloud hosting? (sh.itjust.works)

Does anyone here use a decent free plan for hosting Nextcloud online? Or is it really worth paying or selfhosting? Thanks :)

TLS termination is very simple, and I have been doing that for years, now, but I trust my VPS provider. This is what you need to do for that. Install WireGuard on your Oracle VPS and your home server, and create a simple tunnel. Then install Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) on your VPS. So, when you set up different services on your home server, say Nextcloud on port 8080, Jellyfin on port 3096, etc, all you have to do is point your NPM to these ports and use your WireGuard IP. NPM will also be able to issue certificates with no problems at all.

The concern with this is Oracle can (and probably will) sniff all the data that is going through. I have been trying to understand how to do the TLS pass through, but I have had no luck. Do share your experience if you do this.
