I have 2 servers lets call one Jellyfin and the other Nextcloud.
Jellyfin is my main server running Nginx and Nextcloud is my second
server running apache. I have Nextcloud running on port 8080 to not to
conflict with port 80 on Jellyfin. I was able to get a ssl cert for
Nextcloud and it works if Nginx is off but if Nginx is on then
Nextcloud wont work. Is it possible to get them both to work at the
same time?

What do I have to do to make this work? Thanks in advance. Also I am
rubbing both servers on Ubuntu servers and are both bare metal set
ups.

You can set up Jellyfin on the normal port 8096, Nextcloud's apache on
8080, and use nginx or caddy to proxy requests to local_ip:port for
both apps.

But your post lacks some important details, such as how you were able
to obtain SSL certificate for Nextcloud if it's not running on port 80
and 443. I know you can get SSL via DNS challenges but if you don't
yet know how to set up webservers properly I don't think you used DNS
challenges. I suspect you're running both nginx and apache on port 80,
with nginx proxying to Jellyfin and apache proxying to Nextcloud. In
which case you'd need to change either nginx or apache's port and use
one to proxy to the other. That's just my guess though.

I was running both on 80 and got Nextcloud a ssl cert with port 80
open but have since changed it to port 8080.

When Nginx is off, how to you access nextcloud? Is it domain.com:8080
or domain.com?

I made so many changes that now the only way I can access nextcloud is
through local-ip:8080 before I could access it by going
https://Nextcloud.mydomain.com
