Public board sharing

[juliusknorr]

In addition to the sharing with internal users, it should be possible to share a board by generating a public link, similar to the files app. When a board is shared via link it should be possible to protect it with a password and to enable or disable write permissions for guest users.

The public share link then shows the corresponding board (without the left sidebar). Functionality that is only available with managing permissions must not be available on public shares (like the board share sidebar, the label management sidebar)

Please also consider a public editing feature :)

It should be possible to share public boards with contacts from the ContactsManager API.

Can a better description of requirements to be implemented be written for this? I'm getting more and more familiar with the project but I am completely out to town on what needs to be done for this.

The json api that I've been writing is nearing it's completion and this bounty is tempting!

@Nebri I've updated the first post with some details on how this should look like.

@nextcloud/deck Is there any api / references to generate the shares from the nextcloud core? I'd hate to re-invent the wheel here. Just trying to formulate a plan of attack before I pull up my editor for this.

@Nebri Unfortunately there is no generic share API right now in Nextcloud. The current one is just for files, so we need to build something on our own there. We already do this for the general board sharing, so i think it makes sense to just extend the current acl table to support public links.

We started with some unification of public templates/controllers in 14 but we either need to add a fallback for 13 or wait until 14 is the lowest supported version:

• Public page template enhancements server#9084
• Public share middleware & controller server#9518
