Hi all,

Since Synology Drive is not .xlsx compatible, it is not editable with python scripts.

If you actively work with .xlsx you are forced to look for something else.

I did. I tried Nextcloud, but that one is really pain in the ass. All shit goes through one port (webdav) and you can't manage to let users work webapp only.

Second problem is that even a simple py script to put hyperlinks in a cell to a pdf in a folder doesn't work, since Nextcloud/Onlyoffice can't work with this.

So, I made this choise to move to NC because I can pyhton things, but in the end that is not true.

I am tired and still looking for a solution where I can do this:

- forcing users to work webonly in a kind of OnlyOffice environment (like Google Drive or Synology Drive)
- enable/block/prevent SMB/WEBDAV access
- .xlsx proof
- python proof
- data stays in my synology nas
- (yes, we still can download files from webapp, but that is okay)

Any help is welcome...

Hi there,

This is all about running Nextcloud 33 in Container Manager in Synology NAS.

Since we want to force web only working in Nextcloud/OnlyOffice for privacy reasons, I need to prevent users who want to use webdav. No one must have the option to sync files to their devices.

Yes, they are still able to download from web portal, but that is okay.

I am tired of searching for a possible way to turn off or block webdav.

In synology drive this was one button, but here I can't find any way to do it.

Tried to edit .htaccess file, but that didn't work.

If anyone has any idea, you're welcome :)

TL;DR solution:

cat > /volume1/docker/nextcloud/apache-conf/block-webdav.conf << 'EOF'
<Location /remote.php/dav>
    <If "%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /mirall/">
        Require all denied
    </If>
    <If "%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /Nextcloud-android/">
        Require all denied
    </If>
    <If "%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /Nextcloud-iOS/">
        Require all denied
    </If>
</Location>
EOF

This is the error I get when trying to setup mailserver for the sake of receiving confirmation emails when someone changes his password etc..

I'm on Nextcloud installed on a Synology Nas (with Container Manager).

See screenshot please.

I also tried different ports like 587 and 25 with combinations of SSL or None/STARTTLS

I've read about pass keys, but tried hard and just can't add a third party to the list.

Does anyone have any solution?

Hi!

I have some shared folders which are encrypted for in case of theft or anything.

Alongside this I recently started using Container Manager for Nextcloud and Onlyoffice for another project. Container Manager has created it's own Docker shared folder, which I can not encrypt, but it must be.

Do you have any advice for me how to achieve this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, Claude gives me these options below, but I wan't to check with you guys if this will work or not.

Option 1: Move Docker to an encrypted folder (recommended)

1. Stop all running containers in Docker
2. Uninstall the Docker package (data will be preserved)
3. Create a new encrypted shared folder, e.g. /volume1/docker_enc
4. Reinstall Docker — during installation you can sometimes choose the location, otherwise:
5. Go to Docker → Settings → General and change the data path to the encrypted folder
6. Restart Docker

Option 2: Use bind mounts

• Leave the docker folder unencrypted for Docker itself
• Store sensitive data from your containers in an encrypted shared folder via bind mounts in your docker-compose.yml:

yaml

  volumes:
    - /volume1/your_encrypted_folder/appdata:/config

• This way the containers are in the unencrypted folder, but the data is in an encrypted folder

Hi there,

A Synology user here and I want to move from Synology Drive to Nextcloud.

Does Nextcloud have the ability to access all existing shared folders where our files are located?

Hi!

After hours and hours I have not managed to establish a connection between Nextcloud and my shared folder.

It is all about a Synology nas with Nextcloud running in Container Manager.

We are working in a specific shared folder and Nextcloud should have connection with that.

There is this External storage app in Nextcloud, but when giving the correct shared folder name and path, it still says local storage path does not exist...

Does anybody know how to let this work?

Hi,

Before we used Google Spreadsheets and I had a script which worked very well. This was about a column where the script reads and places in each cell in that column a hyperlink to a pdf file that has the same name as the cell in that column.

Since I have moved from Google Drive to Synology Office, we are working with .osheets. What a pitty, because no scripts are working here. Even Python is offside there.

I tried Playwright .js scripting with Docker, but what a pain in the ass. It is an UI imitating thing which really not works for us.

Is there any other way? I have no relationship with Synology Office, so I could easily switch to another architecture.

The musts:

- Everything should run inside my local Synology nas

- collaboration, like simultaneously 10 users in one sheet real-time updating edits

- no manual exporting/importing .xlsx 

- Free, since I can't force and manage users licences

I've read something about Nextcloud + OnlyOffice, but I still don't understand if that fits or not.
