Nextcloud Quick Tip - Add or Delete Data for a User Directly on the Server

[@YoutubeHistorian1999]

You answered my comment in the previous video with an entire video tutorial, this is why I’m subscribed

[@BestmankTv]

quick tip: If you have hosted(like me) into an Apache server, you actually need to change the abc user to whatever user to www-data, like so: sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/cloud/console.php files:scan --all Also nice tutorial and thank you for this!

[@markblakely9786]

This was exactly what I needed after I had to reinstall Nextcloud due to a failed Nextcloud upgrade. Thank you!

[@luuksls]

is the command you use any different from the "occ files:scan --all " ? because i've used that one multiple times in the past and is way shorter to type. (and therefore easier to remember)

[@darrengreenacre1142]

Love these videos... Been checking everyday for the follow-up to this... Thursday has been and gone 😥

[@davidwilson3847]

If you add 'filesystem_check_changes' => 1, to the config file it will automatically add/update manually added files. I use my nextcloud folder as my main storage mapped to Z: Any file I move from my computer to my Z: automatically shows up on the nextcloud app.

Hi Can you show where you make this entry?

[@thunderaga]

Added: 'filesystem_check_changes' => 1, works perfectly! Thank you!

[@VikingBrent]

Thank you! This video is incredibly timely and helpful.

[@petertucker455]

Just hijacking the top comment. If spaceinvader's tutorial doesn't work, try this: manual sync of files manually added to nextcloud outside of the app: 1. Unraid -> Docker 2. nextcloud -> Console 3. occ files:scan --all

[@NickPapandria]

Also a suggestion - how to modify the setup for large filesizes!

[@WilliamCasolare]

Thanks for all of your Unraid content - truly appreciate it and it has helped me quite a bit over the last couple years! One item that I haven't been able to solve is permissions with Nextcloud. I use mine with a bunch of external SMB shares that I also access from Windows machines on my LAN. Files/folders created in Nextcloud don't have the proper permissions to write-accessed in the shares on the Windows machines. I've tried changing the UMASK setting in the Docker configuration in Unraid with no success (I did run docker safe new perms as part of this process). Not sure what can be done to fix this and going through lots of forum threads and reddit posts have not led me to a clear solution. I'm hopeful you'll cover this in the upcoming videos in the series assuming there are more! Thanks again for everything - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@matt_uk_]

Yes.- same issue. When i access the nextcloud files from my mac or windows through the unraid share I cant make changes, they are locked or access denies due to permission errors. Ed - did you do anything special to allow access? Thanks for the great video, i have followed along to get both unraid and nextcloud working well.

[@onetick3724]

hi, same here... have you been able to solve it ? thx

[@Brambo_Gaming]

Thanks again for your awesome content! Now I just need to figure out how to automate this. I'm using nextcloud for a workflow process to get videos from the phone to next cloud to another share to be worked on.

[@Zymosisproductions]

You can just open the console in the nextcloud and type in " occ files:scan --all " . No need for directories aso

[@svinatraktore]

and for sudo...? :)

[@Benniboi_]

This worked a treat! thanks

[@DanielCardenas23]

just use "occ files:scan --all" in console.

[@thostegm7099]

Thanks for this great content. Can you please make a backup and restore tutorial for Nextcloud.

[@Erfurt92]

Awesome video! An idea for what you could make a video about after Nextcloud, could be how to setup LanCache, maybe with a part 2 on how to set it up with Pi-Hole. This is something I personally would be very interested in. :)

[@unraidpl7973]

Hello, As usual, you are doing a great job, but I have a problem that is incomprehensible. Everything has been done and done according to your nextcloud installation guides. Nextcloud works but when you show in this video how you delete files from nextcloud directory via smb protocol for me it doesn't work. The nextcloud share is added as public and has no chance to remove files from the / files / user directory. No permission. I have combined in every way but I can't cope with it. When I change the rights to directories in nextcloud in the terminal and then create a new user for him, there is again a problem with the ability to add and delete files via smb. Can you help somehow? greetings

[@davisclark0776]

@Spaceinvader One, Can you re-update this video? That command no longer works in the console anymore. Thank you!!

[@BestmankTv]

I have the latest Nextcloud server and it's working. What logs this command gave it to you?

[@lafamiliaruiz]

I ran into the same issue. If you go to the docker's console, it worked with this command: occ files:scan --all

[@DukeOfWillowton]

@@lafamiliaruizThank you so much! My Nextcloud got stuck because I moved some files. I was hopeful after finding this clip, but it didn't work. Your reply did, though! Saved my Nextcloud-install.

[@Techie4life]

Great Job Spaceinvader. Can you make a backup and restore video tutorial for Nextcloud.

[@aoto89]

what is the difference between the command you provided vs. occ files:scan --all ? I have used my provided command the same way but if there is a functional difference, I would love to know! Thank you for all the educational content!

[@jimmyriggedsolutions3572]

In the context of managing a Nextcloud server, the "occ" command does one thing, and one thing only - run "console.php". Knowing that, there's absolutely no functional difference between running "occ files:scan --all" and "console.php files:scan --all".

[@chacha7225]

Hello space, can you please do a video of Nextcloud talk setup with turn servers.

[@Vitasalato]

This is exactly what I was looking for few days ago. To solve this I ended adding " 'filesystem_check_changes' => 1, " in next cloud config file. Any disadvantage leaving this option active?

[@marlouiesaique1889]

I used to have an old Nextcloud install and whenever I put files through SMB, it's automatically updated on the NCloud GUI. Is this the way to do it?

[@joseroman1967]

@@marlouiesaique1889 Yes that is correct.

[@JToona]

Can you schedule this command to run every few minutes? Or will that create too much stress on the server?

[@tonelab77]

Where's the next video regarding Nexcloud and the external shares plugin, so we can add unraid shares?

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Ed! Thanks for always sharing with us :) I hope you had a great Christmas and soon to be Happy New Years💖👍😎JP

[@AskTheRealDrBrown]

Using that command starts a scan,but data and folders are still not being seen by nextcloud. Any ideas?

[@simonemastellonephotography]

Hi, i tryed to add same file to the cloud and run the command " sudo -u abc php /config/www/nextcloud/console.php files:scan --all". however i am not able to delete this file from the portal , i can delete only if i delete from share folder and run again the terminal code

[@bibeltours]

Thx for the tip! I'm looking for a easy way to get thumbnails created in advance and also for videos. On the web I found a few different solutions but also each time someone who said that this isn't working for them. So I wonder how you would do that.

[@MrDivision89]

Hello! Do you have videos scheduled going deeper into using zfs on unraid? I created all ssd ZFS pool in my server and plan is to move everything from array in there and have all SSD server for faster speeds, but I'm having difficulties understanding how to migrate my shares and data from array to zfs so that all services keep working. I feel like symlink is not good solution here or maybe I'm just using it wrong. I want to have syncthing folder, plex media etc on my zfs.

[@ItsAndrewM]

Can you go through how to expand the max file upload limit? Currently it is only set to 1GB

This here please. I’d love the auto back from my phone but can’t back up videos that are larger than a gig

When I try to copy or create folders and files in the Nextcloud user folder i get an error for insufficient permissions even tho my user can read/write the Nextcloud share, but I can create folders no problem in Nextcloud share itself. Someone knows what might be the problem? Tyvm :D

Is there a way to cron this in user scripts? Thank you so much for your videos.

[@ajugland]

But you can do that from windows nextcloud client with a click scan
