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.
To invoke ``nextcloudcmd``, you must provide the local and the remote repository
URL using the following command::
nextcloudcmd [OPTIONS...] sourcedir nextcloudurl
where ``sourcedir`` is the local directory and ``nextcloudurl`` is
the server URL.
Other command line switches supported by ``nextcloudcmd`` include the following:
``--user``, ``-u`` ``[user]``
Use ``user`` as the login name.
``--password``, ``-p`` ``[password]``
Use ``password`` as the password.
``-n``
Use ``netrc (5)`` for login.
``--non-interactive``
Do not prompt for questions.
``--silent``, ``--s``
Inhibits verbose log output.
``--trust``
Trust any SSL certificate, including invalid ones.
``--httpproxy http://[user@pass:]<server>:<port>``
Uses ``server`` as HTTP proxy.
``--nonshib``
Uses Non Shibboleth WebDAV Authentication
``--davpath [path]``
Overrides the WebDAV Path with ``path``
``--exclude [file]``
Exclude list file
``--unsyncedfolders [file]``
File containing the list of un-synced remote folders (selective sync)
``--max-sync-retries [n]``
Retries maximum n times (defaults to 3)
``-h``
Sync hidden files, do not ignore them
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/remote.php/webdav/
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 \
$HOME/media/music \
https://server/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav/Music
``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.
