Nextcloud

Primary audience: end users and teams who need self-hosted file sync, sharing and collaboration.

Your own private cloud — files, document editing, calls and chat, with single sign-on.

What you get

Capability Access from How
File sync & share Home, work, mobile https://nextcloud.<domain> + desktop/iOS/Android clients
Document editing Nextcloud Files OnlyOffice editor via the euro-office connector app
Calls & chat (Talk) Nextcloud UI Relays via coturn (TURN), scales via nextcloud-hpb
Single sign-on Login page Authentik OIDC (user_oidc app)
Daily backups — PostgreSQL dump + data archive, 30-day retention

What is not included

  • OnlyOffice document server — provided by the separate euro-office module. Nextcloud ships only the connector app; the server is wired in when euro-office is installed.
  • TURN media relay — provided by the coturn module (Talk audio/video).
  • HPB signaling backend — provided by the nextcloud-hpb module (multi-party call scaling).
  • Mail server — outbound mail uses an external SMTP relay (configured via the mail.env secret).

Requirements

  • srv zone
  • VM sizing (defaults from nextcloud.json): 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 80 GB disk on tanka1
  • Authentik (identity:identity) deployed if you want single sign-on
