When: Tue June 10, 2025 07:00 PM
to 08:30 PM
Speaker: Kyle Rankin
Location: Flagship Taproom
For June we have a talk!
Kyle Rankin will be presenting “Nextcloud as a Self-Hosted Cross-Platform Cloud”:
Using someone else’s cloud to sync photos, calendars and contacts?
Proprietary services like iCloud are convenient, but only if you are in the
Apple ecosystem. You can get many of the same basic cloud features in a
self-hosted Nextcloud instance and sync files, calendars, and contacts on
Linux, Mac and mobile devices. This talk discusses how to set up Nextcloud
and configure Linux and Mac desktops and iOS mobile devices to use it,
especially convenient if your household isn’t 100% Linux (or 100% Mac).
The meeting will be Tuesday, June 10th at 7:00pm, at Flagship Taproom:
Flagship Taproom
8099 La Plaza St, Cotati
We’ll be in the back room (up the stairs to the left).
