Authentication guide - Nextcloud (self-hosted)
This has been constructed using the Nextcloud OAuth2 Documentation combined with this issue comment on the nextcloud bugtracker.
This guide uses the generic OAuth2 module for compatibility with Nextcloud 13 and above (this guide has been tested successfully with Nextcloud 14).
-
Sign-in with an administrator account to your Nextcloud server
-
Navigate to the OAuth integration settings: Profile Icon (top right) --> Settings Then choose Security Settings from the Administration part of the list - Don't confuse this with Personal Security Settings, where you would change your personal password! At the top there's OAuth 2.0-Clients.
-
Add your CodiMD instance by giving it a name (perhaps CodiMD, but could be anything) and a Redirection-URI. The Redirection-URI will be
\<your-codimd-url\>/auth/oauth2/callback
. Click Add.
-
You'll now see a line containing a client identifier and a Secret.
-
That's it for Nextcloud, the rest is configured in your CodiMD
config.json
or via theCMD_
environment variables! -
Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your
config.json
file or pass them as environment variables. Make sure you also replace<your-nextcloud-domain>
with the right domain name.config.json
