# Nextcloud Talk (plugin)
Status: supported via plugin (webhook bot). Direct messages, rooms, reactions, and markdown messages are supported.
## Plugin required
Nextcloud Talk ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
Install via CLI (npm registry):
```bash
clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/nextcloud-talk
```
Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
```bash
clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/nextcloud-talk
```
If you choose Nextcloud Talk during configure/onboarding and a git checkout is detected,
Clawdbot will offer the local install path automatically.
Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
## Quick setup (beginner)
1) Install the Nextcloud Talk plugin.
2) On your Nextcloud server, create a bot:
```bash
./occ talk:bot:install "Clawdbot" "<shared-secret>" "<webhook-url>" --feature reaction
```
3) Enable the bot in the target room settings.
4) Configure Clawdbot:
- Config: `channels.nextcloud-talk.baseUrl` + `channels.nextcloud-talk.botSecret`
- Or env: `NEXTCLOUD_TALK_BOT_SECRET` (default account only)
5) Restart the gateway (or finish onboarding).
Minimal config:
```json5
{
channels: {
"nextcloud-talk": {
enabled: true,
baseUrl: "https://cloud.example.com",
botSecret: "shared-secret",
dmPolicy: "pairing"
}
}
}
```
## Notes
- Bots cannot initiate DMs. The user must message the bot first.
- Webhook URL must be reachable by the Gateway; set `webhookPublicUrl` if behind a proxy.
- Media uploads are not supported by the bot API; media is sent as URLs.
- The webhook payload does not distinguish DMs vs rooms; set `apiUser` + `apiPassword` to enable room-type lookups (otherwise DMs are treated as rooms).
## Access control (DMs)
- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy = "pairing"`. Unknown senders get a pairing code.
- Approve via:
- `clawdbot pairing list nextcloud-talk`
- `clawdbot pairing approve nextcloud-talk <CODE>`
- Public DMs: `channels.nextcloud-talk.dmPolicy="open"` plus `channels.nextcloud-talk.allowFrom=["*"]`.
## Rooms (groups)
- Default: `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy = "allowlist"` (mention-gated).
- Allowlist rooms with `channels.nextcloud-talk.rooms`:
```json5
{
channels: {
"nextcloud-talk": {
rooms: {
"room-token": { requireMention: true }
}
}
}
}
```
- To allow no rooms, keep the allowlist empty or set `channels.nextcloud-talk.groupPolicy="disabled"`.

If your plugin imports npm deps, install them in that directory so
`node_modules` is available (`npm install` / `pnpm install`).
### Channel catalog metadata
Channel plugins can advertise onboarding metadata via `clawdbot.channel` and
install hints via `clawdbot.install`. This keeps the core catalog data-free.
Example:
```json
{
"name": "@clawdbot/nextcloud-talk",
"clawdbot": {
"extensions": ["./index.ts"],
"channel": {
"id": "nextcloud-talk",
"label": "Nextcloud Talk",
"selectionLabel": "Nextcloud Talk (self-hosted)",
"docsPath": "/channels/nextcloud-talk",
"docsLabel": "nextcloud-talk",
"blurb": "Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots.",
"order": 65,
"aliases": ["nc-talk", "nc"]
},
"install": {
"npmSpec": "@clawdbot/nextcloud-talk",
"localPath": "extensions/nextcloud-talk",
"defaultChoice": "npm"
