<p>Nextcloud apps can enhance, customize or even restrict the features and experience
you and your users has with the Nextcloud server. Next to default enabled functions
like Files, Activity and Photos there are other apps like Calendar, Contacts,
Talk and more which are enhancing the features of your Nextcloud server.</p>
<p>After installing the Nextcloud server, you might want to consider about enabling,
disabling or even restricting some apps to groups depending on your and your users’
needs.</p>

<p>During the Nextcloud server installation, some apps are enabled by default.
To see which apps are enabled go to your Apps page.</p>
<p>Those apps are supported and developed by Nextcloud GmbH directly and
have an <strong>Featured</strong>-tag.</p>
<div class="admonition note">

<p>You will see which apps are enabled, disabled and available. You’ll also
see additional app bundles and filters, such as Customization, Security and
Monitoring for finding more apps quickly.</p>
<p>In the Apps page you can enable or disable applications. Some apps have
configurable options on the Apps page, such as <strong>Enable only for specific
groups</strong>, but mainly they are enabled or disabled here, and are configured in
your Nextcloud settings (admin and/or user-settings) or in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config.php</span></code>.</p>
<p>Click the app name to view a description of the app and any of the app settings
in the Application View field. Clicking the <strong>Enable</strong> button will enable the app.
If the app is not part of the Nextcloud installation, it will be downloaded from
the app store, installed and enabled.</p>
<p>App updates will also be offered to you on this page. Simply click on the <strong>Update</strong>
button to update a specific app or use the <strong>Update all</strong> button on top of the page to
update all apps.</p>
<div class="admonition note">

<p><strong>Beta releases</strong>: You can also install beta releases of apps directly from here by
switching your Nextcloud to the beta channel in the admin overview.</p>

<section id="update-notifications">
<h3>Update notifications<a class="headerlink" href="#update-notifications" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>The always installed <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">updatenotification</span></code> app allows administrators to be notified on available app and Nextcloud updates.
Moreover, since Nextcloud 29, this app also allows to notify users about updated apps and the changes that are included in the update.
This notification is enabled by default if the app provides a changelog.</p>
<p>To disable user notifications use:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">config</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nb">set</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="nb">type</span> <span class="n">boolean</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">&quot;false&quot;</span> <span class="n">updatenotification</span> <span class="n">app_updated</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">enabled</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>By default guest users, when using the guests app, are not notified, to enable notifications also for them use:</p>

<section id="enabling-apps-via-occ-command">
<h2>Enabling apps via occ command<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-apps-via-occ-command" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>In addition to managing apps via the web interface, administrators can also enable or disable apps using the <cite>occ</cite> command.</p>
<p>To enable an app, use the following command:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">enable</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">id</span><span class="o">&gt;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>For example, to enable the “files” app, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">enable</span> <span class="n">files</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To enable the app for specific groups, use the <cite>–groups</cite> option:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">enable</span> <span class="n">files</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">groups</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">admin</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This command enables the “files” app only for the “admin” group.</p>
<p>To disable an app, use:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">disable</span> <span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">id</span><span class="o">&gt;</span>

<h2>Using private API<a class="headerlink" href="#using-private-api" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>

installation fails, if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'appcodechecker'</span> <span class="pre">=&gt;</span> <span class="pre">true,</span></code> is set in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config.php</span></code>.</p>

<section id="using-custom-app-directories">
<h2>Using custom app directories<a class="headerlink" href="#using-custom-app-directories" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Use the <strong>apps_paths</strong> array in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">config.php</span></code> to set any custom apps directory
locations. The key <strong>path</strong> defines the absolute file system path to the app
folder. The key <strong>url</strong> defines the HTTP web path to that folder, starting at
the Nextcloud web root. The key <strong>writable</strong> indicates if a user can install apps
in that folder.</p>
<p>Example: To ensure that the default <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/apps/</span></code> folder only contains apps shipped
with Nextcloud, follow this example to setup an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/extra-apps/</span></code> folder
which will be used to store any additional apps you install:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>&quot;apps_paths&quot; =&gt; [

            &quot;writable&quot; =&gt; false,

    [
            &quot;path&quot;     =&gt; OC::$SERVERROOT . &quot;/extra-apps&quot;,
            &quot;url&quot;      =&gt; &quot;/extra-apps&quot;,

<div class="admonition danger">

<p>Make sure that the values you choose for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">path</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">url</span></code> for any custom
apps directories do not conflict with directories which already exist in your Nextcloud
Server root (installation directory).</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Tip</p>
<p>Apps paths can be located outside the server root.  However, for any
<strong>path</strong> outside the server root, you need to create a symbolic link in the server
root that points <strong>url</strong> to <strong>path</strong>. For instance, if <strong>path</strong> is
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/local/lib/nextcloud/extra-apps</span></code>, and <strong>url</strong> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/extra-apps</span></code>, then
you would use the command <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ln</span></code> to create the symbolic link like this:
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ln</span> <span class="pre">-sf</span> <span class="pre">/var/local/lib/nextcloud/extra-apps</span> <span class="pre">./extra-apps</span></code></p>

<p>To enable a self hosted apps store:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>Set the <strong>appstoreenabled</strong> parameter to “true”.</p>
<p>This parameter is used to enable the apps store in Nextcloud.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Set the <strong>appstoreurl</strong> to the URL of your Nextcloud apps store.</p>
<p>This parameter is used to set the http path to your self hosted Nextcloud apps store.</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>By default the apps store is enabled and configured to use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://apps.nextcloud.com/api/v1</span></code> as apps store url. Nextcloud will fetch <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">apps.json</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">categories.json</span></code> from there. To use the defaults again remove <strong>appstoreenabled</strong> and <strong>appstoreurl</strong> from the configuration.</p>
<p>Example: If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">categories.json</span></code> is available at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://apps.nextcloud.com/api/v1/categories.json</span></code> the apps store url is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://apps.nextcloud.com/api/v1</span></code>.</p>
