The symlinks will not work, so you need to work around that as described at this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39037942

$ sudo apt-get install lsyncd

Starting the background service

$ sudo lsyncd -rsync /home/<username>/nextcloud/ /var/www/html/nextcloud/

Additionally set the permissions on the lsynced files in /var/www

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/data
sudo chown :www-data /var/www/config/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/config/
sudo chown :www-data /var/www/apps/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/apps/
