Nextcloud

NextCloud

The robomotion nextcloud CLI connects to NextCloud (self-hosted cloud storage) for file management, sharing, and administration. It uploads, downloads, lists, and deletes files; creates and manages shares with permissions; and administers users.

When to use

• Upload or download files between local filesystem and NextCloud
• List files, create folders, and manage file operations
• Create, list, and manage file/folder shares with permissions
• Administer NextCloud users

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install nextcloud
• NextCloud instance URL and credentials configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install nextcloud
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_upload --client-id "<client-id>" --local-path <file> --remote-path <dest> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion nextcloud nextcloud_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
