# 01 - Matt Cloud Guide Knowledgebase Home Page. Welcome to the Matt Cloud knowledgebase. I wanted to put some articles together that should help y'all folks use the Matt Cloud things. # Introduction Hello friend, I see you've made it to the Matt-Cloud Knowledgebase, welcome. My intention with this site is to make some articles to explain some of the services I have set up. I want y'all to be able to use some of these services without having to reach out to me so much. Not that it bothers me, more to make things introvert-friendly; think of this like self-checkout for Matt-Cloud. Here are some of the pages that your Matt-Cloud credentials can get you. If there is something listed here you can't access you can ask me for access and worst I would say is no. [Mattflix](https://media.matt-cloud.com/) - This is like Netflix but with all the Movies and TV Shows I've accumulated and continue to accumulate. You can login here with your Matt-Cloud SSO and watch whatever you want. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/matt-cloud-media "Mattflix Manual") [Mattible](https://audiobooks.matt-cloud.com/) - This is like Audible but with all the Audiobooks same like Mattflix. You should be able to login once with the Matt-Cloud SSO and it will log you in automatically. It will remember your progress and there is an android app. The android app will take your Matt-Cloud credentials natively without the SSO. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/audiobooks "Documentation") [MattGPT](https://gpt.matt-cloud.com/ "MattGPT") - I set up a LLM interface on my home server a while back using some spare RTX cards. I recently upgraded to a true beefy boi on it and so I've opened it up to limited access. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/mattgpt "MattGPT Manual") [Matt Drive](https://drive.matt-cloud.com/) - This is like Google Drive including built-in document editors. There is 8TB of space allocated to this currently. It has desktop and mobile apps for syncing folders, and I also use it to back up the photos on my phone. This has a separate login that takes the Matt-Cloud credentials, and also works with the Authelia SSO. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/matt-cloud-drive-new) [Books and Comics](https://books.matt-cloud.com/ "App called Komga") - This is a bit like a web-based Kindle app that supports books and comics. I have to add media and libraries manually, but I can set up libraries that users can update the files for. I built this because I wanted somewhere I could save webnovels I've read in a more permanent place. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/komga-ebooks-and-comics) [Two-Factor Codes](https://2fa.matt-cloud.com/ "Like Google Authenticator") - This is a place where you can put Google Authenticator style 2FA codes for easier access. This is also linked with the Matt-Cloud SSO, and requires 2FA login to be configured on Matt-Cloud. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/two-factor-codes) [Terminal Server](https://ts.matt-cloud.com/) - Browser based RDP access to ts2022.home.cosmos using Apache Guacamole. I have it configured so that when you login at the Guacamole prompt, it will forward the credentials to the server and log you right in. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/terminal-sever-2022) [SSPR ](https://sspr.matt-cloud.com/ "Manage Password and Email")- This means **Self Service Password Reset.** This site lets you change your Matt-Cloud email address or password. It also can help you reset your password if you forget it, as long as you set up recovery methods in advance. [Notes](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/sspr-vs-account) [Matt-Cloud SSO](https://auth.matt-cloud.com/) - This is the domain for my SSO, and the only user-facing feature here is the ability to configure 2FA. Matt-Cloud 2FA is only used with a small amount of user-facing services. [Notes](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/single-sign-on-with-authelia) [Sharry](https://sharry.matt-cloud.com/ "Sharry file sharing") - This is a simpler drag-and-drop file sharing site. This is meant more as a temporary file drop box than an actual cloud storage system, and the file shares expire after a user-configurable time. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/sharry) [Joplin ](https://joplin.matt-cloud.com/login "It's just evernote")- This is like Evernote but without a web interface. Thus, it does require using an app, and the website is just for account setup. Login the first time with your **email address** and matt-cloud password. The app is designed to require an email address login, and that is adequate to allow Matt Cloud login. [Documentation](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/joplin) Here are some other public sites I have that don't require a login. [Password Generator](https://pwd.theregion.beer/) - This is a password generator site I put together at [Computerease](https://www.computer-service.com/) so I didn't need to manually generate passwords. I am biased, but I really like the passwords it generates since it uses words instead of alphabet soup. [One-Time Secret ](https://ots.matt-cloud.com/ "This message will self-destruct")- This is a way to share [one-time codes](https://github.com/Luzifer/ots/tree/master "source code github") like passwords or API keys securely. The code will self-destruct after a single viewing. [Stable Diffusion](https://stable-d.matt-cloud.com/) - This is an instance of [easy diffusion](https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion) that I have running in a docker container. It still doesn't know how many fingers a human typically has, but it's neat and self hosted. Recently moved to my home server with an RTX 8000, so it can make mutant fingers even faster now. Since it has a lot more compute available, I put it behind a login. [Converter](https://convert.matt-cloud.com/HRProprietary/HRConvert2/convertCore.php "File Converter") - This is a drag-and-drop[ file converter site ](https://github.com/zelon88/HRConvert2 "zelon88's HRConvert")I found and added to my stuff. I haven't really used it, but it seemed useful enough to add here. # SSPR vs Account I have two similar but different services that are close enough in function for the distinction to be confusing. This service is based on an open-source tool, and because of the functions I want to make available to Matt-Cloud users, I need to build two different versions of the same tool. To put this another way, I am too lazy to write my own SSPR so I need to use the tools that others have so graciously made available to me for free. [SSPR](https://sspr.matt-cloud.com/pwm/private/login) means **Self-Service Password Reset**. The point of this site is so Matt-Cloud users can handle forgotten password resets. The service allows users to set up a two-factor code and to confirm an email address so that when they forget their Matt-Cloud password they can reset it using a variety of methods. The [Account](https://account.matt-cloud.com/pwm/private/) site is for Matt-Cloud users to update account email address or password when already logged in. It uses the SSO to start users logged in, and will only re-authenticate when requesting a secure change. # Account Management I configured a [site ](https://account.matt-cloud.com "update email and password")that you can use to manage your Matt-Cloud password and email address. You can also reset your password through the same tool if you ever forget it, as long as you have set up one of the recovery methods in advance. This can be through a challenge question-answer method, a Timed One-Time Password, or through email. Since you can read this, that means you know your password, and can configure all these now so you can get back in if you ever do forget your password someday. I also recently created a page where you can see your AD group membership. As long as you're logged in, you can visit [https://groups.matt-cloud.com](https://groups.matt-cloud.com) and see your up-to-date group membership. There is also a link to this on the account management page. Sample initial SSPR home screen is shown below. Here you can see the various options available to you, including setting up the challenge questions and the TOTP. The links to change your password and email or to view account information are all here. Since this is linked with the Matt-Cloud SSO, it means you can reach this and view account information without re-entering your password. I still require your current password be entered before updating email or password. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/hcUimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/hcUimage.png) The account info screen will show your email address along with some other account information. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/bZ6image.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/bZ6image.png) This is the first page presented to you when proceeding to change your password. I added a link to my password generator website that appears when you ask to change your password too in case you need some inspiration. From here it will ask for your current password, and after that you can set a new password. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/wAtimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/wAtimage.png) Here is the email address update page. There will be a confirmation email before this will complete. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/aCLimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/aCLimage.png) This service is called [PWM](https://github.com/pwm-project/pwm "pwm") and is also running in docker. This thing uses **jdbc** database connectors, so I wound up also making an oracle DB container for it too. I'm just glad it actually works. # Matt-Cloud Media Jellyfin has seen some updates, and some enterprising individual has written an OIDC plugin for Jellyfin. I have set up a new Mattflix at [https://media.matt-cloud.com](https://media.matt-cloud.com) that has SSO available. The SSO syncs with LDAP perfectly, and I will be re-routing the old domain over at some point. I also got rid of the other do-nothing buttons on the home page. This is the new login page.Note the SSO login at the bottom, please use it for ease of use, though the username/password fields will work. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/gbIimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/gbIimage.png) When you login, you will see this. It should be fairly self explanatory from here if you have ever used a video streaming website. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/s4Limage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/s4Limage.png) # Single Sign On with Authelia I built a SSO system to protect some of my more sensitive sites and facilitate a consistent login experience. Now that I did the hard work of getting it working, it's fairly easy for me to do stuff like secure a knowledgebase site with a SSO login. The platform is called [Authelia](https://github.com/authelia/authelia "Authelia") and I have it running in a docker container like everything else these days.
Authelia Login Page [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/rVuimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/rVuimage.png)
There isn't much visible to you as the user aside from the initial Authelia login page and two-factor prompt. Authelia sets cookies in your browser and is able to pass credentials between different Matt-Cloud services just like Google can go from Mail to Drive and whatnot without you needing to re-login each time. Authelia's user back-end is my Microsoft Active Directory domain, and I am then able to use the groups in AD to manage site permissions in Authelia. For you to manage your two-factor options in Authelia, you need a valid email address in Matt-Cloud. You can see your current email address on the [SSPR](https://sspr.matt-cloud.com/ "Self Service Password Reset") under your My Account page at the top. If it's missing or wrong let me know and I'll fix it up; I still haven't figured out how to let you manage your own email addresses.
SSPR Account Info [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/P4Vimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/P4Vimage.png)
You can also perform email and password updates using the [account settings](https://account.matt-cloud.com "SSO Account Settings") page. This is linked to the Matt-Cloud SSO, and once you are logged in you may update your email and password easier. I still require the current password when changing the password because that seems prudent. The interface is identical to the regular SSPR site, it just doesn't require an additional login. # Matt-Cloud Drive - New Matt-Cloud Drive? How is this different from Matt Drive? Well that is a great question hypothetical homie that is reading this guide. Matt-Drive was the original cloud storage site I had set up. It recently crapped the shed and the online office suite stopped saving when editing in the browser. After being unable to fix this in a reasonable amount of time, I considered that it might take less time to just create a new Seafile instance that is running a newer version that is working with Onlyoffice and also works with Authelia for login. I was finally able to accomplish this, and this lives at [https://drive.matt-cloud.com](https://drive.matt-cloud.com). I managed to get the configuration working such that logging in with username and password works the same as logging in with Matt-Cloud SSO - thus the pedantic name difference. Matt Drive was just Matt's cloud drive when I started slapping shit together. Matt-Cloud Drive is the new hotness that logs in with the Matt-Cloud SSO. Unfortunately, since nobody is paying me for this, I am not gonna go through and transfer anyone else's stuff over. Matt dtive is now down and I'm not sure if I still have the data, so I hope you grabbed what you needed while it was still up. Anyway, this thing works the same as it used to more-or-less, just that now you don't need to use your username and password in the browser, assuming you've signed into Matt-Cloud in general. There are desktop and mobile clients, and that login works with just your Matt-Cloud username and password. There is also a new thing called SeaDocs, which is a bit like OneNote, though I have not messed with it a whole lot yet. I thought it might be a replacement for OnlyOffice, but it only opens SeaDocs files, so instead of replacing a feature I added one; neat. I will add some fresh screenshots here. Login Page. Note the Single Sign-On login; that will log you right in if you're already logged into Matt-Cloud. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/scaled-1680-/image.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/image.png) Home Page after login. To add a library, there is a drop-down menu chevron right next to My Libraries that was unintuitive enough to me that it took a minute to figure it out, so I thought I would mention that here. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/scaled-1680-/YuLimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/YuLimage.png) New Empty Default Library. Note the options for editable file types here. You can also drag-and-drop into the browser.[![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/scaled-1680-/DUkimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-11/DUkimage.png) # MattGPT That's right everyone, I have set up a LLM on my server that is accessible to select matt-cloud users. Remember you can check your group membership at the [groups site ](https://groups.matt-cloud.com/ "groups site")- look for **mattgpt-access**. MattGPT is located at [https://gpt.matt-cloud.com](https://gpt.matt-cloud.com). The source code for this can be found [here](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui). When you get there, you can log in with the trusty **Continue with Matt-Cloud** button. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/image.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/image.png) When you login, you will be greeted with the default model of **deepseek-coder-v2** because I usually use LLM's as a computer science intern. In the top corner you can change between models. If there's a model you'd like to try, you can search for it [here](https://ollama.com/library) and send Matt an email or text or whatever and ask if it can be installed. Answer is much more likely to be yes than no assuming the system is operating properly. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/scaled-1680-/Uytimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-09/Uytimage.png) I currently have 12 models installed here. Default is deepseek-coder-v2 because it's a decent computer science intern, but I believe you can configure your own default model.
- [phi4:14b](https://ollama.com/library/phi4) - [qwen2.5-coder:14b](https://ollama.com/library/qwen2.5-coder) - [gpt-oss:latest](https://ollama.com/library/gpt-oss) - [qwen2.5:latest](https://ollama.com/library/qwen2.5) - [llama3.2:latest](https://ollama.com/library/llama3.2) - [dolphin-mistral:latest](https://ollama.com/library/dolphin-mistral) - [gemma2:latest](https://ollama.com/library/gemma2) - [deepseek-r1:latest](https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1) - [deepseek-coder-v2:latest](https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-coder-v2) - [deepcoder:latest](https://ollama.com/library/deepcoder) - [qwen2.5vl:latest](https://ollama.com/library/qwen2.5vl) - [gemma3:12b](https://ollama.com/library/gemma3)
This is actually a pretty advanced system and I don't know exactly what its full capabilities are, so if you find something powerful or scary be gentle and let me know. This is AI here, and while these are "just LLM's" if those LLMs have certain access or information they can get spicy. # Sharry Sharry is a more basic file sharing platform that is more like a one-time password sharing tool than an actual drive storage platform like Matt Drive is. This is linked with the Matt-Cloud SSO, and will log in automatically with OIDC. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/d31image.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/d31image.png) You can upload files to Sharri and share the links, and the shared links will work without a login.
New Share Settings [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/MYTimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/MYTimage.png)
Test Share Example [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/3Efimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/3Efimage.png)
When a link is shared, files can be viewed without any authentication if that is how it was configured. After creating the share it would need to be published with the button at the top. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/i6Jimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/i6Jimage.png) There are options for the share that are configurable both during and after creation. I haven't tested what happens after expiration time, so I will leave this share up for a bit and update this article with the results when I have them. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/PTSimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/PTSimage.png) I forgot about another share I put up a while back; this is what happens when the link expires. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/s8pimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/s8pimage.png) # Matt-Cloud 2FA It occurs to me that a guide on setting up your 2FA on Matt-Cloud might be welcome. If you go to [https://auth.matt-cloud.com](https://auth.matt-cloud.com) you should see the following screen. You will need to click on Register Device, and you can follow all the prompts on the screen.
Authelia 2FA Setup Screen [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/Pgkimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/Pgkimage.png)
Before you can add Matt-Cloud to your google authenticator, Authelia will have to verify your email. Authelia will request to validate your email address any time you do anything interesting with your account. There is a moderate likelihood of these emails being intercepted by spam, so check there if it hasn't arrived quickly. It isn't that my email server is particularly fast, it is just isn't particularly busy so it handles things quickly. The rest of the steps on the screen are pretty well documented by Authelia itself as you proceed through the process. # This Knowledgebase This knowledgebase is built on [Bookstack](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack "Bookstack Github"), an open-source platform for information sharing. It is integrated with Matt-Cloud SSO, and logs in automatically with Matt-Cloud SSO. This will allow you to comment on any of my Matt-Cloud documentation articles, and also create your own books in here. All the relevant Matt-Cloud documentation is visible once logged into Authelia. This knowledgebase can be thought of as the Matt-Cloud Wiki both for reference for all my lovely users as well as a platform for y'all to document or share whatever you want. Anyone remember forum.tiberiusrobustus.net from the days of yore? At least I won't be leaving this abandoned in the vortex closet. # Two-Factor Codes I set up a page for myself to have easier access to my 2FA codes. I later realized I could easily set it up for use for anyone to use this service with Matt-Cloud, so I did so. This is like a Google Authenticator dashboard you can view in the web that is linked to your Matt-Cloud account. When you first visit the page, you will see it is a blank page ready and waiting for some 2FA codes. It can scan QR Codes just like Google Authenticator using your phone or computer's webcam. It is also capable of importing all your Google Authenticator codes using the QR Export feature the phone app has. Due to how easy it would be to cheat with this otherwise, I do have this protected by 2FA. I have extremely generous policies configured for the SSO though, so once you've entered your second factor once in a browser, it will probably stay logged in for a while.
Here is what the default screen looks like. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/RlAimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/RlAimage.png)
After enabling dark mode, here in settings shows the app is linked with your Matt-Cloud account. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/scaled-1680-/sprimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-05/sprimage.png)
Once you start adding accounts here, they can be listed in either a grid or a list. It will also try and pull icons for services automatically, and you can customize that beyond. This is a pretty nice service, and I've been using it rather frequently. Since it is still behind an initial 2FA I don't feel like I'm cheating, and so neither should you if you want. # Photo Album I have set up a login-free [instance ](https://photos.matt-cloud.com/ "Photo Album")of my photo album that I set up to authenticate through [Authelia](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/books/01-matt-cloud-guide/page/single-sign-on-with-authelia "Matt-Cloud SSO"). This is not available to everyone with a login here, but it is managed through AD like everything else. This photo album is done with [pigallery2](https://bpatrik.github.io/pigallery2/ "Excellent photo gallery app"), and was exactly what I wanted out of a photo gallery. It just indexes a single root folder where all the photos live. Since this is how I've always organized my photos, this works for me. I have them in chronological order grouped by events or just years. This uses Matt Drive to sync with OneDrive on my laptop to make sure the source directory of the photos stays fresh. # Joplin [Joplin ](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin)is an [Evernote ](https://evernote.com/)clone that requires a companion app. The companion apps can be found on [Joplin's website](https://joplinapp.org/ "Joplin's website"). The app doesn't actually require using my cloud services, but the app can sync with my cloud. Make sure you delete the **Welcome!** notebook before logging in or you will have the repeating **Welcome!** notes you see in my screenshot below. The [Matt-Cloud website](https://joplin.matt-cloud.com/login "Joplin Login") for Joplin is just for account maintenance. You login for the first time here using your email and Matt-Cloud password. Joplin does have[ end-to-end encryption support ](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/apps/sync/e2ee.md "instructions here")to ensure your notes are safe. My server instance is running in a pair of docker containers, and I tested creating a note on my laptop, syncing with the server. destroying the containers and re-creating them, and then installing and logging in on my terminal server and the notes showed up. If anyone would find this useful in any way, it is now a thing I have available on Matt-Cloud. Matt-Cloud Login Page [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/scaled-1680-/c7iimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/c7iimage.png) Here's the sync settings in the app. The encryption settings are right next to it too. [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/scaled-1680-/Qn6image.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/Qn6image.png) Interface screenshot [![image.png](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/scaled-1680-/zceimage.png)](https://kb.matt-cloud.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/zceimage.png) # New Account Since I have opened up the knowledgebase to general internet access, I figured I would document how to create an account. Not a lot to it, just go to [https://join.matt-cloud.com/](https://join.matt-cloud.com/) and follow the prompts. I get a text message when new accounts are created, so if I know you I may just add you to most Matt-Cloud services when I get a chance. If I don't know you, expect an email.
