Go to https://zserver.zapto.org/nextcloud , you'll be prompted to login with a username and password: Here's your credentials: Username: halima Password: loser2104! Once you've logged in, I've set up your account already, so there should be a calendar already there. To get your phone logged in, there's two ways: 1) go to the following address: https://zserver.zapto.org/nextcloud/settings/user/security , scroll to the bottom, under devices and sessions, type in a random name (iphone), and click create new app password. You should then be able to generate a QR code (next to or under the password field), then you can scan that on your iphone app. 2) inside the app, type the following URL: https://zserver.zapto.org/nextcloud then follow the instructions. Im thinking of having this as our shared calendar and file system. The only users are us 2 and its completely off the internet (self-hosted). ** network issues resolved by: #+begin_src bash docker network connect postgres_network postgres zaine@zaine-HP-ProDesk-400-G1-SFF [21:00:27] [~/docker-services/nextcloud] -> % psql -h zserver.zapto.org -p 5432 -U zaine -d zxq_db Password for user zaine: psql (14.18 (Ubuntu 14.18-0ubuntu0.22.04.1), server 17.5 (Debian 17.5-1.pgdg120+1)) WARNING: psql major version 14, server major version 17.
