One such way is to restrict Nextcloud logins to specific IP addresses or IP address ranges.
The one tricky part of this configuration is that the desktops that log in to Nextcloud should use static IP addresses; otherwise, you run the risk of a DHCP lease running out, and your desktop or laptop not being able to log in.
So before you begin this, you should at least have the machine you use to administer your Nextcloud instance set for static IP. You'll also need a running instance of Nextcloud.
Once you've added the first address, go back and add all of the addresses you need to allow access to your Nextcloud instance.
Congratulations, you've restricted login access to Nextcloud to specific IP addresses.
