Nextcloud

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. You can either create a link and send it to them, invite them via email adress, or via their federated Nextcloud identity. Just like with email, the federated Nextcloud identity is in the format <username>@<nextcloud 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, search for <username>@cloud.pub.solar. For example, for the crew account this would become crew@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.
