nextcloud/HaRP: Fast Proxy for AppAPI(Nextcloud 32+) - GitHub

On the wall of Elara’s office today hangs a single, framed screenshot from the Nextcloud activity log. It shows the final line of the Harp’s automated system check: harp nextcloud

Nextcloud provides a robust file-syncing ecosystem, while Harp provides the rendering engine. When combined, they offer unique advantages: 1. Visual Content Management

: When a user interacts with a feature handled by an external container, HaRP intercepts and handles the traffic directly. User sessions are securely validated against Nextcloud, but the heavy payload processing bypasses the main Nextcloud PHP instance completely, which significantly reduces system overhead. Core Components and Ports When combined, they offer unique advantages: 1

HaRP validates user sessions with Nextcloud before allowing traffic through to the app, ensuring secure access without manual auth overhead. Deployment: Integration typically involves adding a

Harp’s benefits (reduced conflicts, verifiability) come at the cost of additional storage (metadata grows by ~34%) and slightly higher write latency due to hash chain updates. For most private cloud deployments with modern SSDs, this is negligible. Core Components and Ports HaRP validates user sessions

Here is a basic Docker command to get the HaRP container running. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Historically, Nextcloud relied on the to manage external integrations. While functional, DSP is being deprecated—with removal scheduled for Nextcloud 35—due to its complexity and inability to support modern protocols like WebSockets. HaRP (Nextcloud AppAPI HaProxy Reverse Proxy) serves as a modern replacement, designed to simplify deployment while significantly boosting performance for real-time features. 2. Key Architectural Components

Here is everything you need to know about why HaRP is a game-changer and how to get started. What is HaRP? In the past, Nextcloud’s AppAPI

For the uninitiated, is a decentralized, peer-to-peer protocol designed specifically for high-speed file synchronization. Unlike BitTorrent (which requires a tracker) or IPFS (which is content-addressed, not identity-addressed), Harp focuses on real-time, private sharing between trusted devices.
