Your projects on the map. Your documentation where it always was.
Django + n8n + Nextcloud. Each site geolocated, with its photo gallery, subfolders, files, and permissions — no OAuth, no file migration, no user fees.

What you'll stop suffering from.
-
Dozens or hundreds of projects, each with its own Nextcloud/Dropbox/Drive folder, impossible to find without context
-
Technical documentation separated from the physical site — it's unclear what's located where
-
WhatsApp photos of the site that no one consolidates with the rest of the documentation
-
Confusing permissions: admin, visitor, ITO, end client — everyone sees the same thing or shares are set up manually
-
Multiple contractors/companies with their own folders and the same types of projects
-
No one knows which sites are up to date and which are behind without opening each folder
-
Final delivery docs to the client mixed with working documentation
8 detailed views.
Main portal: sites by company, subfolders with file counts, recent activity, and final Docs
Map with sites colored by status and company, side filters, popup with project details
WhatsApp photo gallery grouped by date + live Nextcloud folder tree
Architecture: users → Django portal → n8n → Nextcloud, with detailed data flow in 7 steps
Everything the product does.
Multi-Company Portal
- Navigation by company/contractor — each with its own sites
- Sidebar with site count by company
- Switch company with 1 click
- Configuration from Django admin (no redeploy needed)
Site View
- Table of sites with code, name, contractor, ITO, status
- Filters by status (assigned / in progress / completed)
- Search by site code
- Configurable technical progress flags (e.g., concrete pouring, mounted, energized)
Georeferenced Map
- Leaflet + OpenStreetMap (no API keys, no costs)
- Colored pins by status and by company
- Automatic clustering at low zoom
- Popup with site data + link to folder
- Map filters synchronized with the table
Nextcloud Integration via N8N
- n8n is the middleware — Django does not speak WebDAV directly
- Workflow nc-tekon: list items from a path
- Workflow nc-tekon-deep: recursive file count by subfolder
- Nextcloud credentials encapsulated in n8n — not in Django settings
- Versioned workflows in JSON within the repo
Postgres Cache
- CacheStructure: folder structure by company
- SiteCache: tree of subfolders by site with count
- FinalProjectCache: tree of final docs
- Configurable TTL, manual refresh from admin
- Miss → n8n webhook → update cache → render
Roles Permissions
- UserProfile with admin / visitor role
- CompanyLink by company with link_admin and link_visitor
- Each role receives a different Nextcloud share URL
- No OAuth — resolved with public shares + password
- Extendable to more roles (ITO, client, supervisor)
Final Docs
- Unified delivery folder to the client (e.g., /20-PTI SP)
- Separate view — does not mix with contractor docs
- Tree with file count by final document
- Direct link to Nextcloud by role
Photo Gallery
- WhatsApp photos synced to Nextcloud appear as a gallery
- Grouping by date
- By site — useful for ITO and client
- No storage duplication (thumbnail + link)
Activity Audit
- Last update by folder (real mtime from Nextcloud)
- Recent activity panel
- Change detection
- Visual badges by freshness (today / this week / overdue)
Internal Rest API
- /docs/api/sites/ — list sites by company
- /docs/api/folders/ — structure or with files
- /docs/api/folders/files/ — subfolders with count
- /docs/api/final/tree/ — tree of final docs
- Consumable by own frontend or by other systems
What it's built with.
Why this and not something else.
-
vs. forcing users to use Nextcloud directly: a custom portal with project context, map, status — without requiring the user to navigate WebDAV
-
vs. SharePoint / document SaaS: no cost per user, no data lock-in — Nextcloud stays where it was
-
vs. Drive with manual permissions: roles automatically generate different URLs
-
vs. building directly with WebDAV from Django: n8n isolates credentials, adds retries, and keeps workflows versioned
-
vs. generic GIS apps: focused on documentation — each pin shows what's missing, what's been delivered, and who did it
-
vs. having nothing: the ITO no longer sends the site folder via WhatsApp — they send the site link in the portal
