Just a simple OAuth2 plugin so you can login to your WordPress site from Nextcloud, there is an option to add a login button on the WordPress login page and a shortcode so you can generate your own button. You can set what Nextcloud user groups get mapped to what WordPress user role and what page the users get redirected to on successful login. If you’re using the External sites app in Nextcloud you can set the URL as www.example.com/wp-login.php?nc-sso=redirect and it will auto redirect the user to your Nextcloud install to login without them having to click the login button.
The plugin has been tested with Nextcloud 20.0.14 to 31.0.4.
If you have any problems please reach out on the support forum or directly <a href="https://www.timoxendale.co.uk/plugins/wordpress-nextcloud-sso-oauth2/#support" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
Note this isn’t an official plugin from Nextcloud, it’s just from someone that uses it with WordPress alot.

This plugin is a simple and effective tool to backup your WordPress site and its database, in a decentralized manner, directly to your Hejbit Folder on Nextcloud account. With it, you can define the parameters to create regular copies of your site, including the frequency and time of the operation.
Once you have configured the parameters, the plugin will automatically run in the background to create backups of your site and its database according to your schedule. Backups are stored directly on your Nextcloud account, allowing you to access them from anywhere, at any time.
This plugin is easy to install and configure, and it offers a complete backup solution to protect your site from data loss in the event of a technical problem or hacking. By choosing this plugin, you can have peace of mind knowing that your site is safe.

<h3>Server Configuration for Large Backups</h3>
To ensure successful backup uploads for websites of all sizes, especially large sites, you need adjust your server’s PHP, Nginx, and Nextcloud configuration as follows:
1. PHP configuration (<code>php.ini</code>): 
Consider increasing limits related to file size and execution time. 
Here’s an example configuration that allowed large uploads to complete successfully: 
– memory_limit = 5G 
– post_max_size = 5G 
– upload_max_filesize = 5G 
– max_execution_time = 7200 
– max_input_time = 7200 
(Use values appropriate for your environment)
2. Nginx configuration: 
Nginx uses the client_max_body_size directive to control the maximum allowed size of an upload. 
For example, to support uploads of several gigabytes, you might include a line like this in your nginx.conf (inside the http, server, or location block): 
– client_max_body_size = 5G; 
(Adjust the size limit to match your PHP and Nextcloud settings.)
3. Nextcloud configuration (config.php): 
You may also want to review Nextcloud’s upload-related settings. 
Here’s an example: 
– ‘uploadtimeout’ => 7200, // maximum time (in seconds) allowed for uploads 
– ‘max_chunk_size’ => 10485760, // chunk size (in bytes); 10MB is a good balance 
(These are reference values — feel free to adjust them as needed.)
Note: 
These settings are essential for handling large backup files and preventing timeouts or upload failures. 
If you are on shared hosting, you may need to contact your hosting provider to increase these limits.
<h4>Process Duration</h4>
Several steps are required, and each step depends on the maximum memory allocated by your hosting. As a result, the process may take a long time (e.g., a few hours for a 10GB site with 64MB of memory).
<h4>Backup File Limit</h4>
Currently, the maximum limit for saving the backup ZIP file in Swarm is around 1GB.
<h4>Backup Process</h4>
<ol>
<li>DB extraction</li>
<li>Zip of the wp-content folder</li>
<li>Addition of the .htaccess, wp-config and DB files to the Zip</li>
<li>Sending the zip following the Chunck method on the Nextcloud space</li>
<li>Reassembling the chunks and moving them to the final Nextcloud folder</li>
<li>Cleaning of residual files on the hosting and deletion of obsolete backups on Nextcloud</li>
</ol>
<h4>API</h4>
Two access points are available:
<ul>
<li>/wp-json/HDB/saves to retrieve the number of active backups and their name, as well as the next backup</li>
<li>/wp-json/HDB/param to retrieve the backup frequency, the day, the time and the number to keep</li>
</ul>
<h4>Uninstalling the Plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Disable the plugin: delete the schedules</li>
<li>Delete the plugin : remove tables and options</li>
</ul>
<h3>Data Handling</h3>
<ul>
<li>This plugin sends backup files (database and files) from your WordPress installation to your Nextcloud instance.</li>
<li>The backup data is then stored on Swarm decentralized storage via the HejBit integration.</li>
<li>No user tracking or personal data collection occurs.</li>
</ul>
