NC Care
Nextcloud Care
Nextcloud Care — Check. Protect. Improve.
The health of your Nextcloud instance,
always under control.
NC Care is a Nextcloud app that keeps an eye on your instance for you: updates, security, installed apps and availability of the service. When something is wrong, you get an alert before your users notice.
How it works
Easy to install, light to keep running
The nccare app is installed in your Nextcloud instance like any other app. Regularly, it collects the technical state of the instance and sends it securely to the NC Care portal, which analyses it and shows it on a single screen.
Only technical data is sent (versions, security checks, installed apps, state of the services), never your users' content or their files. What is sent is described in detail in the app settings, and you can disable the app at any time.
Security & Compliance
Health score of the instance, outdated versions and settings that need fixing.
Uptime monitor 24/7
Continuous availability checks, with an immediate alert if the instance stops responding.
Email and Telegram
You choose which events matter to you and on which channel to receive alerts.
App checks
Which apps are installed, which have an update available and which are no longer compatible.
Weekly summary
An email with the state of your instances, without opening the portal.
Several instances, one account
Manage all your Nextcloud instances from the same customer area.
Getting started
Four steps, a few minutes
1
Install the app in your Nextcloud instance
From the Nextcloud App Store (coming soon) or with the package below. Administrator rights are required.
2
The app registers itself
On first run it sends a first report to the portal. The instance is shown as pending approval until the ITServicenet team verifies it.
3
Get the details and create your account
In Administration settings → NC Care you find the address and the identifier of your instance. Then go to /register, enter them and complete the registration, confirming your email.
4
Activation and monitoring
The team approves the instance and links it to your account. From then on reports arrive regularly and you can set up alerts and summaries.
Download and install
Two ways to get the app
Nextcloud App Store
Open in the App Store
tar.gz package
Download nc-care-nextcloud-app-1.0.5.tar.gz
Installing from the package
On the Nextcloud server, as the web server user (here www-data):
cd /var/www/html/custom_apps tar xzf /path/to/nc-care-nextcloud-app-1.0.5.tar.gz chown -R www-data:www-data nccare sudo -u www-data php occ app:enable nccare
Check that the SHA-256 fingerprint of the downloaded file matches the one shown above (
sha256sum nc-care-nextcloud-app-1.0.5.tar.gz). After enabling, open Administration settings → NC Care: the app registers itself on first run.
