⁠Nextcloud client

This image provides a Nextcloud client to sync a Docker volume to a Nextcloud server.

⁠Usage

To start the container run docker run -d --init --name nextcloud-client --restart unless-stopped -v nextcloud-data:/home/nextcloud/data -e NC_USER='myuser' -e NC_PSWD='mypswd' -e NC_HOST='https://myhost' nilsramsperger/nextcloud-client The env parameters NC_USER, NC_PSWD and NC_HOST have to be replaced with username, password and host URL of the NextCloud server.

The files will be synced to the continer's /home/nextcloud/data directory. If you want to sync a docker volume to a certian location within the synced directory structure, just exchange the -v parameter accordingly. i.e.: -v image-files:/home/nextcloud/data/image-files

Synchronization is performed every 60 seconds.

⁠FAQ

⁠Question

Existing files on Nextcloud server are not synced to client. The docker log tells, that access was denied.

⁠Answer

Folders might be created with wrong rights on first sync. Tap into the continer by docker exec -it nextcloud ash. Then switch to the Nextcloud folder by cs /home/nextcloud/data. ls -Al should show folders owned by root:root. Issue a chown -R nextcloud:nextcloud * to fix it. Then exit the container.
