The Nextcloud Client packages contain a command line client, ``nextcloudcmd``, that can
|
|
be used to synchronize Nextcloud files to client machines.
|
|
|
|
``nextcloudcmd`` performs a single *sync run* and then exits the synchronization
|
|
process. In this manner, ``nextcloudcmd`` processes the differences between
|
|
client and server directories and propagates the files to bring both
|
|
repositories to the same state. Contrary to the GUI-based client,
|
|
``nextcloudcmd`` does not repeat synchronizations on its own. It also does not
|
|
monitor for file system changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
URL using the following command::
|
|
|
|

where ``sourcedir`` is the local directory and ``nextcloudurl`` is

Credential Handling
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
``nextcloudcmd`` requires the user to specify the username and password using the standard URL pattern, e.g.,
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ nextcloudcmd /home/user/my_sync_folder https://carla:secret@server/nextcloud
|
|
|
|
To synchronize the Nextcloud directory ``Music`` to the local directory
|
|
``media/music``, through a proxy listening on port ``8080``, and on a gateway
|
|
machine using IP address ``192.168.178.1``, the command line would be::
|
|
|
|
$ nextcloudcmd --httpproxy http://192.168.178.1:8080 --path /Music \
|
|
$HOME/media/music \
|
|
https://server/nextcloud
|
|
|
|
``nextcloudcmd`` will prompt for the user name and password, unless they have
|
|
been specified on the command line or ``-n`` has been passed.
|
|
|
|
Exclude List
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
``nextcloudcmd`` requires access to an exclude list file. It must either be
|
|
installed along with ``nextcloudcmd`` and thus be available in a system location,
|
|
be placed next to the binary as ``sync-exclude.lst`` or be explicitly specified
|
|
with the ``--exclude`` switch.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Synchronize a local directory to the specified directory of the nextcloud server
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ nextcloudcmd --path /<Directory_that_has_been_created> /home/user/<my_sync_folder> \
|
|
https://<username>:<secret>@<server_address>
|
