+Authentication guide - Nextcloud (self-hosted)
+===
+
+*This has been constructed using the [Nextcloud OAuth2 Documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/14/admin_manual/configuration_server/oauth2.html?highlight=oauth2) combined with [this issue comment on the nextcloud bugtracker](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/5694#issuecomment-314761326).*
+
+This guide uses the generic OAuth2 module for compatibility with Nextcloud 13 and above (this guide has been tested successfully with Nextcloud 14).
+
+1. Sign-in with an administrator account to your Nextcloud server
+
+2. Navigate to the OAuth integration settings: Profile Icon (top right) --> Settings
+   Then choose Security Settings from the *Administration* part of the list - Don't confuse this with Personal Security Settings, where you would change your personal password!
+   At the top there's OAuth 2.0-Clients.
+   ![Where to find OAuth2 in Nextcloud](../images/auth/nextcloud-oauth2-1-settings.png)
+
+3. Add your CodiMD instance by giving it a *name* (perhaps CodiMD, but could be anything) and a *Redirection-URI*. The Redirection-URI will be `\<your-codimd-url\>/auth/oauth2/callback`. Click <kbd>Add</kbd>.

+
+
+4. You'll now see a line containing a *client identifier* and a *Secret*.

+
+5. That's it for Nextcloud, the rest is configured in your CodiMD `config.json` or via the `CMD_` environment variables!
+
+6. Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your `config.json` file or pass them as environment variables. Make sure you also replace `<your-nextcloud-domain>` with the right domain name.
+    * `config.json`:
+      ```javascript
+      {
+        "production": {
+          "oauth2": {
+              "clientID": "ii4p1u3jz7dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
+              "clientSecret": "mqzzx6fydbXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
+              "authorizationURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/authorize",
+              "tokenURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token",
+              "userProfileURL": "https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json",
+              "userProfileUsernameAttr": "ocs.data.id",
+              "userProfileDisplayNameAttr": "ocs.data.display-name",
+              "userProfileEmailAttr": "ocs.data.email"
+          }
+        }
+      }
+      ```
+    * environment variables:
+      ```sh
+      CMD_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=ii4p1u3jz7dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+      CMD_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=mqzzx6fydbXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+      CMD_OAUTH2_AUTHORIZATION_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/authorize
+      CMD_OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token
+      CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_URL=https://<your-nextcloud-domain>/ocs/v2.php/cloud/user?format=json
+      CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_USERNAME_ATTR=ocs.data.id
+      CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_DISPLAY_NAME_ATTR=ocs.data.display-name
+      CMD_OAUTH2_USER_PROFILE_EMAIL_ATTR=ocs.data.email
+      ```
