WebDAV

In meinGPT (UI)

For most teams, setup is done directly in meinGPT without editing local config files.

Open admin settings in meinGPT
Go to Data Pools / Data Sources
Click Add Source and choose this source type
Configure credentials and scope in the UI
Save and trigger the first sync

If you do not run your own DataVault runtime, this is usually all you need.

On-Prem Runtime Configuration (Advanced)

data_pools:
  - id: webdav
    type: webdav
    url: "https://webdav.company.com"
    vendor: "nextcloud"
    user: $WEBDAV_USERNAME
    password: $WEBDAV_PASSWORD

Configuration Options

Field	Type	Default	Required	Description
`id`	string	-	✅	Unique identifier for the data pool
`type`	string	-	✅	Must be "webdav"
`url`	string	-	✅	WebDAV server URL
`vendor`	string	-	✅	Vendor ("fastmail", "nextcloud", "owncloud", "sharepoint", "sharepoint-ntlm", "rclone", "other")
`user`	string	null	❌	Username for authentication
`password`	string	null	❌	Password for authentication
`bearer_token`	string	null	❌	Bearer token (alternative to user/password)
`base_path`	string	"/"	❌	Optional folder path

Synchronization

Vault connects to the WebDAV endpoint and syncs files below base_path.
Use either user/password or bearer_token authentication.
Next runs continue incrementally with changed files only.

Setup

Identify vendor: Determine WebDAV server type (Nextcloud, ownCloud, etc.)
Create credentials: Generate app password or access token
Test connectivity: Verify WebDAV endpoint is accessible
Add to environment: WEBDAV_USERNAME and WEBDAV_PASSWORD
