    <content type="html">&lt;h1&gt;Accessing Nextcloud With WebDAV on Arch&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Mon 15th February 2021 By David T. Sadler.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a Nextcloud instance and I want to mount it as a directory on my local machine. Since Nextcloud cloud supports the WebDAV protocol its possible to do this by installing davfs2 which can mount a WebDAV resource.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing I had to do was install davfs2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;$ sudo pacman -S davfs2&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next I created the directory where Nextcloud would be mounted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;$ mkdir -p .local/share/nextcloud&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;I then needed to tell Arch how to mount Nextcloud by adding the below line to the /etc/fstab file.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;https://my-nextcloud-server.com/path /home/david/.local/share/nextcloud davfs rw,user,uid=david,noauto 0 0&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since access to Nextcloud is controlled by a username and password these where added to the ~/.davfs2 file.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;https://my-nextcloud-server.com/path username password&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;I made sure this file had the correct permissions to ensure security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;$ chmod 600 ~/.davfs2/secrets&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I can mount Nextcloud and access my files just like any others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;$ mount .local/share/nextcloud&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Links&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/posts/nextcloud&quot;&gt;Nextcloud - Read More Posts.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#039;t have comments as I don&amp;#039;t want to manage them.
