Nextcloud docker-client

This image provides you an alpine based image for syncing your files with a remote nextcloud server

This image is based on the work made by: Martin Peters

Example using local folder

docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/sync-folder:/media/nextcloud \
  -e NC_USER=$username -e NC_PASS=$password \
  -e NC_URL=$server_url\
  juanitomint/nextcloud-client

Example using local folder and exclude settings. You have to place a "exclude" file and a "unsyncfolders" file into one directory and mount it into the docker container

docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/sync-folder:/media/nextcloud \
  -v /path/to/settingsfolder:/settings \
  -e NC_USER=$username -e NC_PASS=$password \
  -e NC_URL=$server_url\
  juanitomint/nextcloud-client

Example for the file "exclude" in the settings folder

file1
file2

Example for the file "unsyncfolders" in the settings folder

folder1
folder2

Example using a named volume

docker run -it --rm \
  -v some_named_volume:/media/nextcloud \
  -e NC_USER=$username -e NC_PASS=$password \
  -e NC_URL=$server_url\
  juanitomint/nextcloud-client

Example one time run

docker run -it --rm \
  -v some_named_volume:/media/nextcloud \
  -e NC_USER=$username -e NC_PASS=$password \
  -e NC_URL=$server_url\
  -e NC_EXIT=true\
  juanitomint/nextcloud-client

replace:

• $username
• $password
• $server_url

with valid values for an existing and valid user on a Nextcloud Server.
