Extend your local storage by WebDAV

Here is an other post of my series about WebDAV & CO.

With WebDAV you can manage your data/files and exchange them to all your different devices. Your Hubzilla/streams channel can take over the server part here. Since this is done by credentials you do not want to share this all will work just for you - you can´t really share to your friends and contacts by WebDAV. But once the data and files are stored in your Hubzilla/streams channel you can of cause share them with other tools and by ZOT/Nomad and AP.

The most common and well known use of WebDAV is to mount a cloud account/drive to your desktop PC.
Some times i can be a bit tricky to get it work but once it is set up you see your cloud storage popping up just like an other hart drive you have mounted to your PC and you can easily copy and exchange files by drag and drop.
Once you have the files in your Hubzilla/streams cloud you can use the files for all kind of things. You can publish them, if you want just to certain groups or speziell Fediverse contacts, or keep them privat as your privat archive or backup in the cloud.
It is just incredible that we have this functionality in Hubzilla/streams which makes your account on a Hubzilla/streasm server so much more worth and useful.
So invest some time and try to set up your WebDAV connection.

Here you finde a description how to do it for your Window, MAC or Linux PC:

https://im.allmendenetz.de/wiki/chris/WebDAV/connect_to_your_Hubzilla_streams_cloud

For android phones i would like to advice you this app:

Material Files

a Open source Material Design file manager
https://f-droid.org/de/packages/me.zhanghai.android.files/

After installation click on

Add Storage > WebDAV SERVER

fill in like:

Hostname: your.serverurl.tld
Port:443
pfad: dav/[Channel-Nickname]
nmae: waht ever you lik
Protokoll: HTTPS
Authentification: Password

Usename: [Channel-Nickname]
Password: [Password of your Hubzilla/streams Account]

This is how it looks on my phone:

Now you can browse your files and images which are on the Hubzilla/streams cloud also from your phone.

or

take a picture with your smartphone camera and save it easily on your Hubzilla/streams cloud.

or

click the share button of a file on your phone - select the "Material file manager" , navigate to the Hubzilla/streams cloud and share the file to that location.

This way you extend your local storage you have on your phone with the the Hubzilla/streams cloud.

If you save private files /images in a Hubzilla/streams cloud folder keep in mind to protect the folder by the implemented Access Control System with a setting link "only me" to keep it a way from public eyes.

Keep in mind also that since the files are not encrypted everybody who as root access to the server - usually this would be just the Admin of a server - could see your files if he/she really wants to - So like almost always - you have to trust the admin of your server.

In the next post i will show you an App which works with WebDAV and secure encryption so the Admin is out of the game in this respect.

#Hubzilla has integrated the #WebDAV, #CalDAV and #CardDAV protocols. (#streams just WebDAV)
This protocols extend the functionality of #Hubzilla and #streams in some very useful ways. Unformulated this not very well know.

I will start here a series of posts where i will give some examples of this extended use.

If you follow this posts it will become clear to you that this functionalities are the door to a world of interactions no other Fediverse app does offer.

As a start here a quot from Wikipedia:

WebDAV began in 1996 when Jim Whitehead worked with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to host two meetings to discuss the problem of distributed authoring on the World Wide Web with interested people. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of the Web involved a medium for both reading and writing. In fact, Berners-Lee's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb, could both view and edit web pages; but, as the Web grew, it became a read-only medium for most users. Whitehead and other like-minded people wanted to transcend that limitation.

(streams) does have both CardDAV and CalDAV. They aren't easily noticeable, though, because CardDAV isn't optional, and CalDAV is headless now.

How does Hubzilla relates to Streams ?

#Hubzilla https://hubzilla.org and #Streams https://codeberg.org/streams/streams share the same code root but are two separate #Fediverse projects started by @Mike Macgirvin, who started 2010 also Friendica.
Mike nowadays just develops for Streams.

Both projects can handel user groups, have a fine adjustable system for privacy, access control, and content ownership, offer as many channels as you like to have under one account and offer the unique function for a "nomadic identity".

The DEV Team which keeps developing Hubzilla likes to consider Streams as important as "Sid" ( https://www.debian.org/releases/sid/) for debian.

Besides other improvements the Hubzilla Dev team is porting time by time the mayor developments made in Streams (as possible) to Hubzilla and is keeping HZ up to date with AP and working with other networks like #Diaspora and more

Streams uses the ZOT12 / NOMAD protocol and is at the same time 100% #ActivityPub

Hubzilla uses the ZOT6 protocol + other Network protocols by addons + all kinds of functions like a Web CMS can have: #Blogs, #Webpages, #WIKIS, #CalDAV, #CardDAV and so on

Streams is focused "just" on federated content and is pushing new functions around that also into AP. So Mike is with Streams actually involved in the ongoing development of ActivityPub and truly the avant-garde here. Because Streams is focused on "fewer" functions - Streams may be more easy to get started with the Fediverse - Streams just offers the right tools here for you.

Hubzilla has also functions for "old school" Web publishing, for content which does NOT federate and offers also all the tools for the IndieWeb https://indieweb.org/ . So for communities and persons which/how like to have all kinds of Web publishing functions and which/who are not just interested and dependent on having communication with the AP Network - Hubzille is THE ultimate choice.

Please check out for your self.

Here is my understanding:

Streams uses the Nomad protocol to talk to Streams.

Streams uses the Zot Protocol to talk to Hubzilla.

Streams uses ActivityPub to talk to everyone else.

Hubzilla uses Zot to talk to Hubzilla

Hubzilla uses Zot to talk to Streams

Hubzilla uses ActivityPub (if enabled) to talk to ActivityPub-enabled sites.

Hubzilla also has other protocols (if enabled) that can talk to other projects.

Both projects use OpenWebAuth, and can remotely authenticate on each other's website. This allows commenting directly on the website, as well as edit wikis, articles, webpages, and anything else allowed by the admin or channel owner.

no way that a admin can allow this... fortunately

The admin can determine whether you have a wiki or not. So they have the ultimate say on whether anyone on the server can post or edit a wiki. But if you mean that the users set the permissions, then yes.

But, remember, the admin has access to the database. Just because they can't do something via the interface doesn't mean they can't do it via the database.
