NextCloud integration with Files

Hera

Files now has simple NextCloud integration out of the box on Hera, however some other components are not shipped out of the box. You will need to install the NextCloud client library and app. A simple guide for setting up NextCloud integration in Files on elementary Hera can be found here:

Odin

The NextCloud client can be installed from the AppCenter. However, that version seems to be incompatible with the version of libcloudproviders built into Odin so there is currently no working integration with Files.

Setting up a NextCloud server

A local server can easily be set up using the Ubuntu snap package.

sudo snap install nextcloud

After installing, point the browser to http://localhost to complete the setup.

The NextCloud server software can also be installed from: https://nextcloud.com/install/#

Another way is to use the docker image (stable, apache). https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/ A guide for setting up docker can be found here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-on-ubuntu-18-04
