| You can access the Nextcloud web interface at https://cloud.moonbeam.town/nextcloud, or by clicking "Nextcloud" on your Moonbeam.town control panel. From there, you can see your files, create new documents, access your contacts and calendar, manage your tasks, and make use of whatever other plugins are available to you. Your Nextcloud credentials are the same as your Moonbeam.town credentials, and if you are already logged in at Moonbeam.town you shouldn't be prompted to re-enter those credentials. | You can access the Nextcloud web interface at https://cloud.moonbeam.town/nextcloud, or by clicking "Nextcloud" on your [[Control Panel|Moonbeam.town control panel]].

| | You can sync any calendar you have created on Moonbeam.town with your phone's calendar app, and even add events from your phone to your Moonbeam.town calendars. As far as I can tell you can't automatically create or import calendars you have created on your phone with Nextcloud, but we'll touch on that later. |
| | |
| | Here are the steps to sync your calendars with the "Simple Calendar Pro" calendar app, available on F-droid or the Play store (for a small cost). Other calendar apps should be similar but specific steps may vary. |
| | |
| | - Open DAVx5 and tap on your Moonbeam.town account |
| | - Select the "CALDAV" tab |
| | - Enable the calendars you'd like to sync. If the calendars don't show up, drag down to refresh. |
| | - Open Simple Calendar and go to Settings |
| | - Enable "CalDAV sync" and click "Manage synced calendars" |
| | - Enable the calendars you'd like to sync. If they aren't showing up, back out to your calendar view and select "Refresh CalDAV calendars" |
| | |
| | Once this is done, events you create through the web interface should show up in your phone's calendar, and events you create via your phone's calendar should show up on the web interface. |
| | |
| | If you've already created a calendar that you'd like to start syncing with the web, do the following: |
| | |
| | |
| | - From your calendar view, select "Export events to an .ics file" from the drop-down |
| | - Select the calendar(s) you'd like to export |
| | - Select a location and save the file |
| | |
| | You should be able to import this to your Nextcloud but that doesn't seem to be working. Troubleshooting is underway. |
