Installation

Make sure you have completed the steps in Prerequisites first.

harang-nextcloud is listed in Obsidian’s official Community Plugins directory, so the recommended way to install it is directly from within Obsidian.

Method 1 — Community Plugins browser (recommended)

1. Open Settings → Community plugins in Obsidian.

2. Click Browse, then search for “Harang Nextcloud”.

3. Click Install, then Enable.

Obsidian will also notify you of future updates and let you update the plugin from the same screen.

Method 2 — Manual install of pre-built files

Use this method if you already have a built copy of the plugin (main.js, manifest.json, styles.css) — for example from a release archive — and want to install it without going through the Community Plugins browser.

1. In your vault, create the folder <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/harang-nextcloud/ if it doesn’t already exist.

2. Copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into that folder.

3. Restart Obsidian, then enable Harang Nextcloud under Settings → Community plugins.

Method 3 — Clone the Git repository and build from source

Use this method if you want to build from a specific commit or contribute to the plugin.

Requirements: Node.js 18 or later.

git clone https://github.com/search5/harang-nextcloud.git
cd harang-nextcloud
npm install
npm run build

This produces main.js in the project root. Copy it, together with manifest.json and styles.css, into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/harang-nextcloud/ as described in Method 2, then restart Obsidian and enable the plugin.

Note

npm run dev starts esbuild in watch mode, rebuilding main.js on every source change — useful when iterating on the plugin itself.

Once installed, continue to Usage to connect a Nextcloud server profile.
