+Authentication guide - Nextcloud (self-hosted)
+===
+
+*This has been constructed using the [Nextcloud OAuth2 Documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/14/admin_manual/configuration_server/oauth2.html?highlight=oauth2) combined with [this issue comment on the nextcloud bugtracker](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/5694#issuecomment-314761326).*
+
+This guide uses the generic OAuth2 module for compatibility with Nextcloud 13 and above (this guide has been tested successfully with Nextcloud 14).
+
+1. Sign-in with an administrator account to your Nextcloud server
+
+2. Navigate to the OAuth integration settings: Profile Icon (top right) --> Settings
+ Then choose Security Settings from the *Administration* part of the list - Don't confuse this with Personal Security Settings, where you would change your personal password!
+ At the top there's OAuth 2.0-Clients.
+ ![Where to find OAuth2 in Nextcloud](../images/auth/nextcloud-oauth2-1-settings.png)
+
+3. Add your CodiMD instance by giving it a *name* (perhaps CodiMD, but could be anything) and a *Redirection-URI*. The Redirection-URI will be `\<your-codimd-url\>/auth/oauth2/callback`. Click <kbd>Add</kbd>.

+
+
+4. You'll now see a line containing a *client identifier* and a *Secret*.
+ ![Successfully added OAuth2-client](../images/auth/nextcloud-oauth2-3-clientid-secret.png)
+
+5. That's it for Nextcloud, the rest is configured in your CodiMD `config.json` or via the `CMD_` environment variables!
+
+6. Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your `config.json` file or pass them as environment variables. Make sure you also replace `<your-nextcloud-domain>` with the right domain name.
+ * `config.json`:
+ ```javascript
+ {
+ "production": {
+ "oauth2": {
+ "clientID": "ii4p1u3jz7dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
+ "clientSecret": "mqzzx6fydbXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
+ "authorizationURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/authorize",
+ "tokenURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token",
+ "userProfileURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json",
+ "userProfileUsernameAttr": "ocs.data.id",
+ "userProfileDisplayNameAttr": "ocs.data.display-name",
+ "userProfileEmailAttr": "ocs.data.email"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+ * environment variables:
+ ```sh
+ CMD_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=ii4p1u3jz7dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+ CMD_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=mqzzx6fydbXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+ CMD_OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/authorize
+ CMD_OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token
+ CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json
+ CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_USERNAME_ATTR=ocs.data.id
+ CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_DISPLAY_NAME_ATTR=ocs.data.display-name
+ CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_EMAIL_ATTR=ocs.data.email
+ ```
