Create a configuration folder with 2 files :

• .netrc: netrc configuration file for authentication on nextcloud server. E.g default login mylogin password mypassword
• sync-exclude.lst: list of files or folder to exclude in the format generated by the Ignored Files Editor

Launch the docker image with:

• Volumes:
  • /data: folder of synced data
  • /log: folder for sync logs
  • /conf: folder containing configuration files
• Env:
  • LANG: the LANG for encoding in file names. Defaults to 'C.UTF-8'
  • SERVER: the Nextcloud server URL
  • DAVPATH: the WebDAV path on the server. Defaults to '/remote.php/dav' (may have to change for '/remote.php/webdav')
  • PERIODICITY: sync periodicity in crontab format (but DO NOT USE @xxx formats). Defaults to 0 * * * * (hourly)

E.g:

docker run --detach \
  --volume ~/nextcloud-sync:/data \
  --volume /var/log:/log \
  --volume /etc/nextcloud-sync/:/conf \
  --env LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-15 \
  --env SERVER=http://nextcloud.server.com/ \
  --env PERIODICITY='*/15 * * * *' \
