Nextcloud

As you may have noticed I attended the Nextcloud Hackweek last week (day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5). I decided to help out with documentation in Github and I did a few little changes. The documentation ist separated into an Admin-, a User and a ... [More] Developer Manual. I struggled a bit with the organisation of everything on Github (master, stable10, stable9) but step by step I’ll manage. What confuses me most was the fact that I personally used ownCloud/Nextcloud as a file syncing mechanism like Dropbox. Attending the hackweek I noticed that Nextcloud is and will become so much more. I want to give a few examples upload your music and listen to it on your mobile or at home (like in iTunes) Edit and share your documents (like Google docs) upload photos, that you have taken with your mobile automatically and manage and share them (like Flickr) be a part of a federation of Nextcloud users. What is federation and why is it useful? (This is really unique and important) My Federated Cloud ID is [email protected] https://t.co/IZLj3oQarj#federation #nextcloud /@Nextclouders — Hagen Graf (@hagengraf) August 11, 2016 why it is a good idea to control your own data? run it on your server at home (on a Raspberry Pi or a MacMini or whatever) use it as your own telephone provider (with the Spreed integration) store and sync all your contacts and calendars via Nextcloud (like iCloud) read your emails in Nextcloud (via mail app) use nextcloud as your news aggregator (like google reader) offer all this features to your friends or your company (because you can  ) and of course … sync all your documents between your mobile and your desktop (like Dropbox) This is just a small list of features that is interesting for me as a consumer. But I learned from the past: If something is interesting for me, there are usually millions of consumers outside that find it interesting too! My Plan My plan is to try out the feature list by myself, describe my experiences in my blog, contribute to the documentation (User, Admin, Developer) and spread the word about Nextcloud in general. It would be also nice to have more localised documentation in German, French and other languages. First steps I’m still running our “cocoate cloud” for file syncing. When I’m really sure about a feature I will add it there. If you are interested and not able to setup your own Nextcloud – just ping me for a user account. So far I wrote blog entries in German language for the Novatrend blog. A general one about the the fork ownCloud -> Nextcloud and one about package managers, snap and the Nextcloud snap package as an example Paketverwaltung und Snaps unter Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Next article: Nextcloud – Installation on shared hosting & first steps The post A personal cloud with Nextcloud – But How and Why? appeared first on Hagen Graf.

We’ve published a manual on integrating Spreed.ME as well as a video tutorial and we’re inviting everybody to give it a try and let us know what you think! Spreed.ME and secure video and audio chat Spreed.ME uses a technology called “WebRTC” which allows browsers to make direct, peer to peer connections between each other. These are fully end to end encrypted, both the audio/video and the chat. This means that it is entirely impossible for anyone to eaves-drop on the conversation, including the server administrator! You can test it out for yourself on the spreed.me website! creating a temporary password User handling is integrated in Nextcloud so you will show up with avatar and user names all set up. You can also invite people without a user account to a call by creating a temporary password for a user (with the key icon). You will get a link you can give to them to join you in a call. You don’t have to enbable this ability, though and you can also restrict the usage of Spreed.ME to a specific user group if you like! You can find a full tutorial on nextcloud.com/webrtc showing how to integrate Spreed.ME in Nextcloud. The video below goes through the tutorial! If you have questions, ask them in the forums. [Less]
