Nextcloud
Your own Dropbox, calendar and contacts
File sync across every device, plus calendar, contacts and notes that talk to the apps already on your phone. The full replacement for the parts of Google and Dropbox that hold your own documents.

cloudInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install cloudWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Nextcloud | :8445 | The first visit runs a setup wizard where you create the admin account. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- It serves HTTPS on 8445 with a self-signed certificate — the browser warning on first visit is expected on a LAN address
- Calendar and contacts are CalDAV/CardDAV: iOS and Android sync them natively once you add the account, no Nextcloud app needed
- Redis is not optional here. Without it file locking falls back to the database and large syncs start timing out
