No need for a Nc cronjob in case you use the web UI. In your setup, you sync from one system to the next, but you have Nextcloud on one to make the files available to the outside, right? If you mounted that folder as external storage and set it to always update the storage contents, what you see in Nextcloud web UI should be up to date with what is in the folder, whatever syncthing does in the background doesn’t matter. Use it as any normal network drive - no need to sync, that is done immediately, just like the Desktop client syncs any change you do locally within seconds to the server. Nextcloud has a WebDAV interface you can mount.you can change files in external storage, you can configure how often to check for changes but in any case, Nextcloud ONLY checks for changes if you use the web UI, not the client.don’t ever change the files in nextcloud primary storage (the data folder). Nextcloud’s initial use case is to keep several desktop machines (eg your laptop and workstation) in sync, it is what it was designed to do…īut if you somehow want syncthing, keep in mind: So first of all, why on earth do you want syncthing inbetween this? You save a lot of headache by simply using Nextcloud clients to sync your files. I just want to make sure I’m understanding fully the limitations of what I can do with NextCloud. I’ve been having some trouble getting Syncthing to work but I think I’ve figured out the problem on that end. The web front for NextCloud would sometimes be a little out of sync with the actual files, because changes made on the laptop would have to sync through syncthing to the desktop/server and then a cronjob on nextcloud would have to run in order to reindex the changes that had been made to those folders, but otherwise, it should basically work, right? I could sync the laptop /user/david/work and the desktop /home/david/work using Syncthing, and then have those files made accessible for sharing etc to the web through NextCloud by mounting the /home/david/work folder to NextCloud using the external folders application correct? I was then told that even though I was not directly manipulating folders or files that were inside the /var/share/So my solution is this: BUT, I began to run into problems with the syncing between the laptop and desktop. I had my /home/david/work folders mounted to my nextcloud server through the external folders apps, and therefore could access them through the web gui portal no problems. I want my desktop /home/david/work folder and my /user/david/work laptop folder to be in sync, and also available to share or link through the nextcloud web GUI. I have a linux desktop/server and a windows laptop. My approach over the last couple of weeks to setting up my personal cloud server has evolved, so I’m writing this post to start with a clean context and get feedback on if my new solution is valid or not.
