(High-performance AppAPI Reverse Proxy) is the modern networking backbone for Nextcloud’s External Apps (ExApps) ecosystem . Introduced as the recommended deployment daemon starting with Nextcloud Hub 32 , HaRP replaces the older Docker Socket Proxy (DSP) to provide better performance, easier remote deployments, and native support for real-time protocols like WebSockets. What is Nextcloud HaRP?
By moving away from purely PHP-based routing, HaRP finally enables full WebSocket support for ExApps. This means real-time features like instant chat updates and collaborative whiteboarding no longer rely on inefficient "polling". harp nextcloud
HaRP utilizes Fast Reverse Proxy ( FRP ) to create secure outbound tunnels from ExApps to the HaRP container. This means ExApps do not need to expose any ports to the host or be directly reachable by the Nextcloud server, which is ideal for restrictive firewall environments. HaRP (High-performance AppAPI Reverse Proxy) is the modern
Here is everything you need to know about why HaRP is a game-changer and how to get started. What is HaRP? In the past, Nextcloud’s AppAPI Protocol Freedom: By moving away from purely PHP-based
The integration of HARPs with Nextcloud holds tremendous potential for enhancing the performance, security, and scalability of self-hosted cloud storage solutions. By leveraging the benefits of heterogeneous and reconfigurable processing, Nextcloud deployments can unlock new capabilities, improve efficiency, and provide a more responsive and secure experience for users. As the development of HARPs continues to advance, we can expect to see innovative applications and use cases emerge, further expanding the possibilities of Nextcloud and similar cloud storage solutions.
