Speed Run: Connect to Nextcloud & Render SVGs with an AI Agent

+
+ June 11, 2026 + speed-run + hermes +
+ +

Introduction

+

+ This speed run shows you how to connect your agent to a Nextcloud instance and have it render vector graphics on the fly. No coding, no WebDAV clients — just configure the integration once, and your agent can read, write, and generate SVG files directly into your Nextcloud folders. +

+

+ To follow along, you'll need a Nextcloud account with WebDAV access. We'll use a demo.nextcloud.odoo4projects.com instance with a dedicated integration user. +

+ +

Prerequisites

+

Before you start, make sure you have your Nextcloud credentials ready:

+ +
+
Integration — Nextcloud (WebDAV)
+ +
+ +

The output directory is a folder inside your Nextcloud files where the agent will save generated SVGs. Create it once in your Nextcloud web interface — the agent reads and writes to it automatically after that.

+ +

Prompt

+

We configured two prompts on the agent's dashboard at app.derez.ai. The first connects the agent to Nextcloud using your integration credentials. The second tells it what graphic to generate.

+ +
+ Prompt 1 — Nextcloud Integration

+ Generated by the Derez Dashboard +
+ +
+ Prompt 2 — Render SVG

+ Create a modern SVG dashboard card showing system health for a server farm with 12 servers (8 healthy, 3 degraded, 1 down). Use a dark theme (#0e0e14 background, #00f5ff accents). Include a donut chart, a timeline sparkline, and a status table. Save the SVG to my Nextcloud output directory as dashboard-card.svg. +
+ +

The first prompt authenticates with your Nextcloud server using the credentials from the dashboard integration settings. The second prompt instructs the agent to design, render, and save the SVG — the agent handles the vector math, colour palette, and WebDAV upload automatically.

+ +

Wrap Up

+

+ In under 5 minutes you went from nothing to an AI agent that connects to your private cloud storage and produces production-quality vector graphics. The same pattern works for any file type your agent can generate — data exports, config files, HTML reports, or multi-page SVGs. +

+ +
+ Pro tip: Use the Nextcloud integration as a general-purpose file bridge. Your agent can read existing files (templates, data CSVs) and write results back — turning Nextcloud into a persistent workspace for scheduled agent tasks like daily reports or dashboard snapshots. +
