Option to export and import Nextcloud settings, users and their settings, as well as shares, calendars, todo’s, contacts, etc.
Similar to a backup of a router or access point where a backup can be saved to file and restored to a new device.
For example if there is an existing instance of Nextcloud and the admin want to migrate to a new version. Or a Nextcloud instance need to be cloned.
Instead of backing up of everything according to https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/maintenance/backup.html simply export all settings, users, shares, calendars, etc. (everything expect files of users) to a file, then install the new instance of Nextcloud and restore the previously exported file.
We could certainly benefit from better export options. Not all apps are capable of exporting data: comments for files, tasks, deck, social, circles, Talk conversations.
Also, GDPR compliance is almost non-existent as all Data Request does is contact your admin: nothing more. Plus, how would they export the above data?
At some point, would be awesome to have Google Takeout like functionality for those users who do not have administrative control over their own accounts.
Or, incorporate Zot so users can migrate and mirror their accounts on multiple servers.
See this federated backup request as well.
Idea: android sync app that easily syncs your contacts and calendars.
No need for davx5 any more. Inspired by “OX Sync” app which does this for open Xchange.
Not sure what you mean by “the groups”. I have 20+ apps installed in NC and only what to give let’s say Files and Tasks to user X. He should not see and not have access to the other 18+ apps.
Go to the Applications page. Click on one of those you don’t want your users to access. On the panel on the right side, you can choose to limit the access at some groups. So first, create a group of users you want to limit the access.
It doesn’t work for all the applications. They don’t all have that option.
And with some app, like Collabora or Onlyoffice for exemple, you can choose to limit directly in the app’s settings.
Is it possible to restrict admin accounts to only administer certain apps?
To allow trivial changes but deny access to nextcloud upgrades, LDAP settings etc.
overlooked that completely. thanks a lot! one more painpoint of my list.
