Overview

Nextcloud Deck is a kanban style organization tool aimed at personal planning and project organization for teams integrated with Nextcloud.

The R package ncdeckr is a client to the Nextcloud Deck API. It is dedicated to manage (list, create, delete, update) boards, stacks, cards and labels.

ncdeckr is freely released by the FRB-CESAB.

Requirements

To use ncdeckr, you need to locally store your Nextcloud credentials:

the URL of the Nextcloud server
your username on the Nextcloud instance
an application password

To generate a Nextcloud application password, go to the Settings and open the Security menu. At the bottom, generate a new app password (use ncdeckr as the app name).

Once your password is created, store your Nextcloud credentials on your computer. A good practice in managing secrets is to store this information as R Environment variables.

Use the function usethis::edit_r_environ() to open the ~/.Renviron file and add these three lines:

NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME='your-username'
NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD='your-password'
NEXTCLOUD_SERVER='https://...'

Save this file and restart R.
