Add Nextcloud
Closed this issue · 10 comments
It's a popular self-hosted alternative to Google Drive, and it supports 2-factor authentication (both vua U2F and OTP) via a pair of extensions.
Website: https://nextcloud.com/
Won't happen because twofactorauth.org don't want these ones included. See here. To keep maintenance low, we stick to their rules.
@alex-nitrokey .....I don't understand the logic here.
Anyway, I would seriously recommend updating the contributing guidelines so that this doesn't happen again, as to my knowledge, I can't find it anywhere in there. Perhaps add it to the list of 4 rules?
While I appreciate you linking me to that issue, you (as a project) can't expect a new potential contributor to go looking through every issue ever filed just to check to make sure that all the rules are being followed.
If it is in the contributing guidelines, I apologise in advance. perhaps a quick summary would help?
This is a fork of twofactorauth.org for being able to keep easily track of the changes there, we won't add sites they refuse.
The criteria is explained here I admit that it could be more detailed, but again, this comes directly from twofactorauth.org It seems to work for them (they have much more issues/PR), so I guess most people go with it.
I mean both sites are basically about services not about software supporting 2fa. I think that is basically the reason why it is excluded. I could imagine to have a section "Software" too, but this would be a request on twofactorauth.org first. And I think they already discussed this kind of stuff iirc.
Every software that you can self-host is a service that supports 2FA then. Each of the single instance. And you have a common name for it (Nextcloud), so there is nothing wrong with that.
I mean it's not that you list OTP clients or so (while you have one such category), basically Nextcloud is also just a (web) service, just that you self-host it.
BTW, you (in contrast to upstream) already support Mastodon, which is also self-hosted software, so IMHO you can make it better than upstream and not discriminate against self-hosted software.
Well said, @rugk.
Is there an alternative database then, @alex-nitrokey? This information is important for me, so if there was somewhere else I could get it from, that'd be great :D
Can't we just manage this one here as a better alternative (database), i.e. a fork of twofactorauth? Apart from not that secure 2FA methods like mail or SMS or so it does support the big two (TOTP and UTF/FIDO/WebAuthn), so I now consider this here to be the better alternative/site.
We will add Nextcloud to the page.
I guess you'll just have to merge my PR. 😄
Awesome, thanks :D
