Getting Started with NextcloudEdit

Server Overview & Data Independence

Our Nextcloud platform is hosted on a self-managed, private server, ensuring complete control over data and operations. All files are stored using WebDAV internal storage, eliminating the need for third-party services and keeping your data secure, private, and independent from external influences.

Open Registration & Community Growth

We’ve enabled open registration, allowing anyone to join and contribute to The White Archive, Weissism, or General Collaboration groups. This fosters an environment of community-driven growth, where users can choose their level of involvement and new groups can be added seamlessly.

Accessing the Platform

To start using Nextcloud:

  1. Open your browser and navigate to:    Nextcloud
  2. Register or log in using your credentials.
  3. Once inside, you’ll land on the Dashboard, your central hub for quick access to files, group chats, tasks, and more.

Matterbridge Integration: Bridging Conversations Across Platforms

Our Matterbridge setup allows seamless communication between Nextcloud Talk, Telegram, and Discord. This means you can stay connected no matter which platform you prefer.

  • Telegram & Discord Connection:
    Conversations in Nextcloud Talk are mirrored to corresponding Telegram and Discord channels. To join, simply access your preferred platform and participate.
  • Managing Bridged Chats:
    Conversations stay synced in real-time, but moderation is handled within Nextcloud Talk. For consistent communication, follow your group’s guidelines across all platforms.
