Getting Started with Nextcloud

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: [Insert Your Nextcloud URL].
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.

  Conversations stay synced in real-time, but moderation is handled within Nextcloud Talk. For consistent communication, follow your group’s guidelines across all platforms.
