Prerequisites#

Before using harang-nextcloud, make sure the following are in place.

1. A reachable Nextcloud server#

You need a Nextcloud instance reachable over HTTP(S) that supports the standard Login Flow v2 handshake (POST /index.php/login/v2) — this is built into Nextcloud itself, so any reasonably current server works out of the box. The plugin authenticates via an app password obtained through this flow; it never asks for or stores your actual account password.

You will need:

Item

Notes

Server URL

The base URL of your Nextcloud instance, e.g. https://cloud.example.com.

A way to finish login in a browser

The login flow opens your Nextcloud login page in your default browser; you approve the app connection there, and the credentials are sent back to Obsidian automatically.

2. Obsidian 1.13.4 or later#

This is the plugin’s declared minimum supported Obsidian version.

Once both are in place, continue to Installation.
