Before we go any further, let us recall what is an flist. In short, an flist is a technology for storing and efficiently sharing sets of files. While it has many great features, it's purpose in this case is simply to deliver the image contents to Zero-OS for execution as a micro VM. It thus acts as a bundle of files like a normal archive.
One convenient thing about the flist technology is that it is possible to convert any Docker image into an flist, thanks to the [ThreeFold Docker Hub Converter tool](https://hub.grid.tf/docker-convert). It is very easy to do and we will show you how to proceed in this case study. For a quick guide on converting Docker images into flists, read [this section](../flist_hub/convert_docker_image.md) of the ThreeFold Manual.

Once we've successfully created an flist, we thus have a very quick way to deploy a specific workload while always obtaining the same result. This is why it is highly recommended to test a given deployment on a full or micro VM before building an flist.
For example, in the case of building a Nextcloud All-in-One flist, the prerequisites would be to successfully deploy a Nextcloud AIO instance on a full VM by executing each step sequentially. This specific example is documented in the Terraform section [Nextcloud All-in-One Guide](../../../system_administrators/terraform/advanced/terraform_nextcloud_aio.md) of the System Administrators book.

In our case, the flist we will be using has some specific configurations depending on the way we deploy Nextcloud (e.g. using or not the gateway and a custom domain). The Terraform **main.tf** we will be sharing later on will thus take all this into account for a smooth deployment.
