I'm wondering if #NextCloud team considers making theming more flexible. I really hate those freaking dropdowns everywhere in the settings, I'd replace it with plain <select> items for #Accessibility purposes. I'm not familiar with the code yet though, maybe I'll propose some checkbox on the Accessibility tab… just thoughts. @nextcloud

I installed #NextCloud extension gPodder Sync. This does just job, it provides gPodder api. That's it. I like apps that do one thing and do it right.

This api can be used by client apps to synchornize

:catjam: Spent the last couple hours going through and configuring @nextcloud.

Considering I have zero PHP experience and I opted to go the manual route rather than Docker. I gotta give the developers credit for writing excellent documentation. 🎉

Hi @nextcloud! Where can I report #NextCloud accessibility bugs? How can I contribute to fix them? You have sooo many repositories, I'm a bit confuzzled. Thanks!


If someone proposed you, say, 100 GB of #NextCloud hosting to have your own private cloud for $3 or 3 € a month with unmetered bandwidth, full setup and tech support specifically tailored for #accessibility needs, would you consider it? #Boosts encouraged! Thanks!

New blogpost: Thunderbird, Nextcloud, calendar invitations, and unwanted html email with non-working 'confirm acceptance' links

Last week, someone kindly flagged a problem with how I'd got calendar invitations set up, and it was annoying me.

So, over the weekend, I fixed it :)

Hey #nextcloud users - Give me an idea for an app you'd like to see in Nextcloud.


Knapp 80.000 Dateien im #Nextcloud#Papierkorb löschen?

Das geht mit occ trashbin:cleanup myuser schneller als über die Weboberfläche.

Für Euch getestet... 😆
Die meisten davon waren @joplinapp@mastodon.social lock Dateien... 🤔


Für die Fotoaktion #ZeigMirDeinenBlick in #Plauen habe ich heute früh ein kleines Tool in #Python mit #Flask geschrieben, um den Upload in eine #Nextcloud zu ermöglichen, wobei eine Kategorie gewählt und ein Name eingegeben werden kann.
codeberg.org/solidcharity/nc_f…


#Nextcloud: Wer ein paar Plugins installiert, bekommt ein Hauptverzeichnis voller Ordner, die jeweils zu einem Plugin gehören.

Für neue User ist das verwirrend.

Ich fänd gut, wenn diese Ordner alle in einem versteckten Ordner gesammelt würden.

Wer will, kann dann in diesen Ordnern Dinge tun. Aber wer sich dafür nicht interessiert, sieht sie auch erst einmal nicht.

Bitte unterstützt meinem Feature Request dazu:

Nextcloud auf der Kommandozeile aktualisieren


Ich möchte zeigen, wie ich bei Hostsharing eine Nextcloud auf der Kommandozeile aktualisieren kann.

Für kleine Nextcloud-Installationen reicht es meistens, die Updates im Browser durchzuführen.
Aber gerade bei größeren Nextclouds ist es ab einer gewissen Benutzeranzahl sinnvoll, das Update auf der Kommandozeile durchzuführen.
Da steht mehr RAM zur Verfügung, und die Laufzeit des Skriptes kann beliebig lang sein. Im Browser wird da schon mal zu früh das Update abgebrochen.

Ich zeige jetzt, wie ich mich mit Windows auf der Kommandozeile bei Hostsharing anmelden kann.
Ich selber bevorzuge Linux, aber Windows ist ja doch noch recht verbreitet.
Auf Windows muss ich das Programm Putty installieren.

Hier kann Putty heruntergeladen werden:
chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath…

Dann starte ich Putty, und melde mich auf dem Server bei Hostsharing an.
Ich kann die Session speichern.

Mein Benutzername ist mein Paketbenutzer, xyz00, in meinem Beispiel tim05.
Mein Hostname ist mein Paket xyz00.hostsharing.net, in meinem Beispiel tim05.hostsharing.net

Das Passwort habe ich aus meinem Passwortmanager in die Zwischenablage kopiert, und kann jetzt mit einem Rechtsklick auf das Putty Fenster das Passwort einfügen.
Dann muss ich noch die Entertaste drücken, und bin angemeldet.

Ich kann auch Befehle hier auf der Kommandozeile mit einem Klick auf die rechte Maustaste einfügen:
echo "Hello World"

Ich kann sehen, unter welchem Benutzer die Domain läuft:

ls -la /home/doms/nextcloud.test.beispielverein.de
ich drücke die Tabulatortaste, um den Pfad automatisch zu ergänzen.

Dann wechsel ich mit dem sudo Befehl in diesen Benutzer, also schlüpfe in seine Rolle:

Ich markiere den Benutzernamen mit der Maus, und kann dann die Markierung mit der rechten Maustaste einfügen:
sudo -u tim05-nextcloud bash

Hier wechsel ich erstmal ins Home Verzeichnis:

cd ~

Mit ls -la sehe ich die Verzeichnisse

Jetzt können wir der Anleitung im Wiki folgen:
wiki.hostsharing.net/index.php…

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud/updater
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud/updater$ chmod u+x updater.phar
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud/updater$ ./updater.phar

Es sollten außerdem ein paar Routine-Aufräumarbeiten durchgeführt werden:

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-primary-keys --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-columns --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:add-missing-indices --no-interaction
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ db:convert-filecache-bigint --no-interaction

So können die Apps noch alle aktualisiert werden:

xyz00-cloud@h00:~$ cd ~/nextcloud
xyz00-cloud@h00:~/nextcloud$ php occ app:update --all -n --no-ansi

Jakej minimální #nextcloud to vyžaduje? Já jsem nějak seklej na nějaký verzi z doby kamenný a upgrade vždy končí nějakým errorem. 😂


Ich bin begeistert: Firefox Bookmarks zwischen drei Clients (2 x Notebook, 1 x Smartphone) synchronisieren läuft nun seit einem knappen halben Jahr per @floccus ohne Probleme - der Umstieg von Chrome auf Firefox klappte dadurch schneller als gedacht.

Big kudos to the Schleswig-Holstein!

Another German administration is breaking Microsoft’s glass cage, and at a first read the scope of this initiative seems more ambitious than many I’ve witnessed in the past.

Both the ArsTechnica article and the original announcement don’t include a few details to make better estimate on the possible success of this initiative though.

The announcement follows previously established plans to migrate the state government off Microsoft Office in favor of open source LibreOffice.


I hope that there’s a Web-based offering somewhere on the horizon. Fewer and fewer employees nowadays run Word/Excel directly on their machines. Most of them run Google Docs or use Microsoft’s office cloud. Giving them a stand-alone app which limits the possibilities for online collaboration may be met with resistance, especially now that many of them are already getting used to online AI assistants. I read that #NextCloud is involved - I hope there’s a plan to run #CollaboraOffice, which is more or less like running the LibreOffice engine as a service, #OnlyOffice or some equivalent alternative.

Due to the high hardware requirements of Windows 11, we would have a problem with older computers. With Linux we don’t have that


Very sensitive decision that will probably save taxpayers a lot of money. But it’d also be interested to know which #Linux distro has been selected. Hopefully the administration won’t repeat Munich’s past mistakes and it won’t try to build and maintain their own distro. Better get into talks with a popular distro (probably not Red Hat, but hey isn’t SuSE German?) and orchestrate a deal where the State funds its development, and in exchange it gets development support. It’s a win-win where a distro not managed by a giant like Red Hat or Canonical can get consistent direct funding from a public administration (that’s what many of us have been advocating for years anyway), and the local administration can enjoy the support of a well-documented distro like OpenSuSE, Mint, Pop_OS or Manjaro without having to reinvent the wheel and scramble for their own developers/packagers/maintainers, and minimizing the risk of going from one vendor lock-in (Microsoft) to another (IBM or Canonical).

The government will ditch Microsoft Sharepoint and Exchange/Outlook in favor of open source offerings Nextcloud and Open-Xchange, and Mozilla Thunderbird


Same issue as with LibreOffice: folks today are used to webmail and mobile apps. Thunderbird definitely fills the gap on the stand-alone side, especially now that it’s getting more love and support than before. But it still lacks an official mobile app - K-9 is almost there, but not nearly there yet. And it doesn’t solve the “I’m used to the GMail/Outlook interface and set all of my filters and do my advanced search from a webview” problem. There’s actually a big gap there. What’s a decent open webmail UI that can compete with GMail/Outlook nowadays? RoundCube feels ancient and it has barely changed in 15 years. SnappyMail is a bit better, and it’s what a use as a selected webmail client too, but it’s still lightyears behind GMail/Outlook. NextCloud Mail is slowly getting there, but it only integrates with a NextCloud solution. Let’s admit that there’s a gap that needs to be filled fast if we don’t want employees who have years of email muscle memory trained in specific environments to doom the project.

Schleswig-Holstein is also developing an open source directory service to replace Microsoft’s Active Directory and an open source telephony offering.


Please, don’t. Just don’t. A local administration, no matter how well-intentioned and initially well-funded, just won’t have the resources necessary to invent such big wheels. And, even if it somehow manages to bake something together, it’ll eventually be a patchy solution that they’ll have to maintain themselves for years to come, and that is unlikely to find adoption outside of its initial borders.

Invest into #OpenLDAP to fill the gaps left by ActiveDirectory on the LDAP side instead. That project needs a lot more love. And leverage WebDAV for almost everything else. If you are already planning to use NextCloud, it’ll already do a lot of the heavylifting for you on that side, without having to write new software or come up with new protocols.

Same for telephony. Looking into iPXE and other open implementations of the PXE and SIP protocols. Telephony protocols are hard and well-established, reinventing the wheel should be avoided at all costs.

I think there’s a lot of potential in initiatives like these, but only a clear definition of their scope and a clear plan of execution with continuous user feedback can help preventing something like the failure of the early Munich experiments.

Schleswig-Holstein geht voran:

#LibreOffice statt M$ Office
#Linux statt Windows
#Thunderbird statt Outlook
#Nextcloud statt Sharepoint

Das Kabinett hat den Startschuss für den Umstieg auf freie Software gegeben - ein Gewinn für #IT-Sicherheit, #Datenschutz und die heimische Digitalwirtschaft.

Langfristiges Ziel ist die vollständige digitale Souveränität des Landes.

Wir ziehen den Hut und wünschen eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung!🎩

#OpenSource #DigitaleSouveränität


At the end the workaround didn't work well, because #Nextcloud was sending invitations from synchronized events and that is not wanted.

I ended up writing my own little #iCal #middleware that fetches the original #ics export and republishes it with all event UIDs postfixed by a constant string.
This ensures that fiancée's calendar event UIDs don't collide with received invitations to the same events and I can add them to my own calendar.

Yess, finally. #Nextcloud 28.0.3 fixes broken calendar subscriptions. :nextcloud: ❤️ 🗓️🎉

Ich habe eine interessante Auflistung von Anleitungen von OpenSource Software gefunden. Sicherlich ist manches spezifisch für die Institution.

Viele Themen sind aber universelles Wissen: #Nextcloud, #RoundCube, #Thunderbird, BigBlueButton, neu für mich @pretix, #Typo3 und #Mattermost


Can you recommend me a good open (can be payed) #calendar app for #android?
I synchronize tasks and calendars from #NextCloud using #DAVx5.
I successfully replaced GTasks with Tasks.org app, GKeep with NextCloud Notes but still looking for a good calendar app.
:android: 🗓️ :opensource: 🙏


Hell, yes. This is nothing but good news. :mastodance:

I've been using Unified Push + Element + Fedilab via Nextcloud and NextPush and it's been remarkably simple and reliable while keeping all that sweet, sweet metadata out of the Goog's hungry clutches. Thank you!

Can't wait for Yunohost to support sliding sync so I can shift to ElementX.

I finally found a workaround for my issue with #NextCloud calendars. #VDirSyncer is the answer.

We share calendars with my fiancée to see each other's program but also invite each other to events that we want the other to attend.
NextCloud sadly has event ids unique across all calendars, thus this use case creates many id collisions between calendars.

When Vdirsyncer copies events from ics to caldav it does not use event ids, but creates own hash id from event content.

github.com/nextcloud/calendar/…


#Nextcloud lässt gerade wirklich das Menschenrecht auf #Barrierefreiheit gegen schnellere Synchronisationszeiten oder erweiterte Sharing-Optionen antreten - in einer Umfrage über das Fediverse.

Nur falls ihr euch fragt, was so der Stellenwert von behinderten Menschen in dieser Gesellschaft ist.

Jedenfalls: Ein weiteres Tool, das man vielleicht mal boykottieren könnte.


Máte Nextcloud? A znáte aplikaci Music? Pomocí ní můžete vaši hudební sbírku (nebo sbírku podcastů) přehrávat přímo z Nextcloudu (přes web) nebo publikovat Subsonic protokolem. Na mobilu pak můžete mít třeba přehrávač Ultrasonic (najdete na F-droidu). #opensource #nextcloud

I recently learned that it is super easy to run your own #UnifiedPush server if you already have a #NextCloud:
- Install the UnifiedPush Provider app in the NextCloud
- Install NextPush for Android f-droid.org/en/packages/org.un…

Took me like 5 min and now my #Tusky push notifications go through my own server, how cool is that


I was surprised at my phone ringing last night, until I realised I got a real non-test push notification from the experimental fork of Nextcloud made by Niklas Reimer. It uses @unifiedpush in the #foss and @fdroidorg compatible version of Nextcloud, and notifications don't go through Google Services or the Nextcloud Push gateway.

Something very exciting is coming!

Trying #NextCloud again, and, while the client on Windows is less accessible than advertised, it can still be used. For example, only a handful of controls and otherwise are unlabeled in settings and otherwise, but it isn't enough to render the app unusable. It still makes me not wanna put time into trying the iOS app, though. I am glad it supports #WebDav though, which basically is a standard for accessing remote folders and stuff. While I can't quite figure out how syncing works if I only use WebDav, still, this is nice to see. Options are good! If you'd like to see their past accessibility post, check out nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-1… @nextcloud #Accessibility


let's not forget about #nextcloud as well for cloud-based collaboration and file storage!


#thunderbird sadly lacks some basic functionality for me. #pgp is not an option in #xmpp chats and it doesnt really support #nextcloud I hope the will change in future updates and thunderbird will evolve in to my be all end all software for communication. but it still has a long way to come.


Musk said the bird is free - meaning, it's HIS bird now and he's reading up on your twitter DM's.

We are working on a federated way out - and will ship it with #Nextcloud as it is too important not to. #privacy

argh, #Nextcloud … das hat ja Profile. Und ich will die benutzen. Aber diese Profile sind grundsätzlich erstmal mostly public. Ich will sie aber by default auf "visible for logged-in user only" haben. Hat das schonmal jemand gefixt? docs.nextcloud.com/server/late… unten schlägt einen Patch vor, der funktioniert bei mir aber nicht (auch nicht bei neuen Benutzern). 😕
Hatte schon jemand mal das Problem (und möglicherweise sogar gelöst)?

:boost_ok:


Nice to hear. I hope Nextcloud will join somewhen.
