In this new video of the Nextcloud playlist I show you how to set up Nextcloud to work with the TOR network.

After creating a new empty directory for the hidden service, `tor` will populate it with the appropriate files. After that all you need to do is to set up a new virtual host in your webserver configuration and whitelist the onion domain in Nextcloud's `config.php`.

In this example we'll use the Apache HTTP webserver because it's the one I know best. If you use Nginx you just need to translate the
syntax.
