Description

For easier deployments it would be nice if we could support running one whiteboard server/cluster with multiple nextcloud servers:

  • Ensure that file id is uniquely combined with the instance id
  • Allow list for trusted servers on the node backend
  • Pass callback url in the jwt token

Research direction

Start by tracing file ID handling and the node backend authentication flow. Then inspect how JWT tokens are created and how trusted servers are configured. Done means file IDs are unique across Nextcloud instances, trusted-server allowlisting works, and callback URLs are included in JWTs.
