This is our cloud platform. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The web interface can be found at cloud.pub.solar.
This service works like most others; you install a local client, sign in with your pub.solar ID, and designate a directory on your device to be synced with the server.
Logging in to clients
When logging in to clients, the server address is https://cloud.pub.solar/.
Sharing files with other people
When sharing files, you have a couple of sharing options:
- create a link and send it to people,
- invite people via email adress,
- or invite via federated Nextcloud identity. Just like with email, a federated Nextcloud identity is in the format
<username>@<domain>. This means that if you want to share a file with another person that is using the pub.solar cloud (or if someone wants to share a nextcloud file or folder with you), you should search for<username>@cloud.pub.solar. For example, if you want to share something with the crew account, usecrew@cloud.pub.solar.
Automatic uploads of photos from mobile devices
Android
This can be achieved with the Nextcloud app. After installing and logging in, go into the app settings -> Auto upload. Here you'll find folders on your device you can automatically upload. This has been tested on Android.
Contacts & Calendar
The web interface for contacts can be found at cloud.pub.solar/apps/contacts, for the calendar at cloud.pub.solar/apps/calendar.
Synchronizing to devices
Android
In the Nextcloud app, go to app settings -> Sync calendar & contacts. This will install the app DAVx5 for you, and start the login process there. After logging in, select the calendars you'd like to synchronize.
