 Let me ask on stage we go to the next lightning talk and this is going to be about next clouds pie a project We're going to get an update from James about this project change. Can I call you to to the stage? Hey, how's it going? I've been dreaming of this moment for years. All right, it's true. So So I'm James and this over here step up Yeah, I'm to Tobias to be us Yeah, and Tobias is the lead developer now of next cloud pie And I guess I'm sort of the spokesperson and documentation writer community manager and we are a faceless group of volunteers that's been going since the beginning of next cloud and I Don't think anyone knows what we look like And it's just all contributions from the community Towards this crazy thing called next cloud pie and we are an official project of next cloud actually since 2017 2018 This is Ignacio nacho. He gave a talk here in 2017 on next cloud pie That was the last talk has anyone ever heard of us next cloud pie. Yay. No. Yeah, okay So this is nacho and we want to say thank you nacho if you're watching this video. Thank you Thank you. We love you. We love you and your family Thank you for creating this project. It's amazing Gotta say that. Okay. Yeah So we have six years of updates for you and First we want to welcome Tobias as a leader. Thank you. Yeah Okay All right, so next cloud pie. It's more than just devices, but it started with devices So we tried to change the name. We tried to change the name back in 2017 I think to next cloud plus and that didn't go very well It turned out we were lucky to be able to use the name next cloud pie to begin with but there is a reason we wanted to change the name and That is because we actually support all architectures all devices We support it all and what we really are is where the community equivalent of a one-click deployment For self-hosters for home enthusiasts for general users of next cloud Who are not companies are just people who want to get started as easily as possible And that's been our goal to provide not only software, but also documentation and community So we provide virtual machines docker podman docker compose were built into the army and package manager were curl script We support 32-bit 64-bit architecture arm architecture x86 Everything can run on our system. We've been around forever. We also have pre-built images for many kinds of devices So next cloud pie means you never have to use OCC every single command that you could use has been scripted And you can use it from the terminal or a web interface to set up your next cloud It makes it very very easy to maintain and it keeps your system running whenever possible So it's not perfect, but we try and It means that you have these helper scripts and ways to manage your system So Let's see This means we offer auto updates We offer auto updates of next cloud apps of next cloud of Debian of PHP Mariah database Apache We keep the system Maintained and up-to-date. This also means that we offer a suggestion of when the user should update their system So when next cloud rolls out 25 We will test it and when we feel comfortable We'll then release that point release out to our user base and they can auto update to it So they don't actually have to do anything. It's basically hands-free It's not perfect, but we do our best and that means it's battle tested because we don't upgrade until we're ready And it doesn't mean it's perfect, but we do the best we can And so we have quite a lot of features these days We have DNS support for every DNS service imaginable if you have free DNS services or domains You can use them all through the interface. You can set it up We have automatic let's encrypt every aspect of setting up your next cloud can be done directly from the interface We have butter FS support in our prebuilt images, which means you have automated snapshots of your system for all recovery We have our sync. We've had it for years. You can do all your backups locally or remotely directly on the system It's all automated and we have our community to help out quick note I think DNS is missing a dealer there. We mean didn't dynamic DNS support So you can register your cloud if you're hosting at home and don't have a stable IP address with all sorts of Dundee in a services So we've had all kinds of fun things happen. We have This beautiful thing called NCP report which I just realized I think that didn't exist before and when someone has a problem They can run NCP report and it'll automatically generate a report takes away your sensitive data And it gives us all the logs and information needed to fix your system And we've kind of upstream this to the help forum by creating a basic Simplified support template people can use when they have issues and they need support So they can be helped as quickly as possible And I think that's really cool We also have data encryption full disk encryption If your disk is encrypted you can decrypt it from either the terminal or from the web UI to then move it into a new system So that's for physical security That was a huge amount of work and it's super cool. So we do have full disk encryption support built in We have metrics to bias added Prometheus support you want to talk about that Well, maybe I go over too quick because I think we don't have that much time. Yeah, we might not Yeah, basically in my mind NCP strives to be this Managed hosting solution in a self hosting. So like everything works You have a web UI to manage everything and don't need to get in the nitty-gritty stuff And that's why we have Encryption just with a one-click enablement We have monitoring endpoints for Prometheus and can monitor everything from the next cloud provided metrics up to The freshness of your backups. So you are sure they are there when you need them and you have automatic creation of back backups and Restoration back-ups right from the web interface including database and files So our focus right now is on improving our release and testing process to make Next cloud and next cloud pie basically easier to use and less risky So right now we've been putting a lot of effort into automating virtual machine docker and image tests as well as our installation scripts images and updater process and The one other thing we've changed in this time and I want to tell you because it's awesome is Documentation so our documentation process before was basically a website It was a WordPress site that you'd have to find a way to join the WordPress site And maybe you join it or not and instead now we use the forum We actually use the help forum of next cloud itself and the way that we did it was we created a group and anyone can request to join the group and add documentation and when you join then you can see all of our Unpublished articles which are just posts on the forum and then once those posts are already some of our volunteers We've given group mod access can then move them to a public category And they become available on our actual website docs next cloud pie calm and it's all static and it happens Instantaneously so as soon as something's published it's available for everyone to read and it makes it possible for everyone on the forum to Contribute to our documentation and keep it updated. It's really cool none of the administrators on the forum have to help us with any of this we do it all ourselves and Also every post from the forum is relayed to our chat rooms in matrix and telegram automatically over RSS So it allows us to be automatically notified of all support requests so we can fix them based on the tag and CP and This means that you can join our matrix and telegram rooms and you can get asked questions there Or you can use the forum and we'll still see your questions And if anyone's interested you're welcome to join us online So that next cloud pie calm where you can join us in matrix or telegram or the help forum And this is the case that I designed back in 2018 No, it's freely available online. You can build it yourself. It's on github All right. Thanks so much and thanks to the next guy by community and next cloud. Thank you
