Nextcloud’s extensibility is core to its value as a sovereign, self-hosted platform; but the path from “I have an idea” to “I have a working app” isn’t always obvious.
This talk is a code-first walkthrough of Nextcloud app development as it stands today: app architecture, the bootstrapping and dependency injection model, and a live demo built from the official app-tutorial example. We’ll also cover ExApps, Nextcloud’s newer model for running app logic outside the core PHP process.
Expect concrete gotchas, debugging strategies, and a working mental model, plus a starting point you can clone and extend yourself.
