What does it mean:
command ending in: --list /Documents/
OK
failed to load external entity “/tmp/cloud-cli.list-xml.307072”

lightaffaire · January 24, 2023, 4:39pm

I just tried that here and this is what I get:

$ cloud-cli --list /Documents/

2022-11-18 10:59:21       DIR  Documents/
2022-11-18 10:59:21      1095  Documents/Example.md
2022-11-13 19:04:33   1083339  Documents/Nextcloud%20flyer.pdf
2022-11-13 19:04:33       136  Documents/Readme.md
2022-11-13 19:04:33     24295  Documents/Welcome%20to%20Nextcloud%20Hub.docx

I would re-check the values you have used for:

 --host|-H url         cloud host url https://[fqdn|ip][:port]
 --user|-U user        cloud username (for file operations)
 --pass|-P pass        cloud password (for file operations)
 --admin-user user     admin username (for user operations)
 --admin-pass pass     admin password (for user operations)
 --insecure|-I         ignore self signed SSL certs

Is the program ‘xmlstarlet’ installed on your system as it is a dependency?

I just created a v1.27 which actually automatically checks for this when running cloud-cli.

You can download it from https://lightaffaire.com/code

Gajusbonus · January 24, 2023, 5:29pm

Yes I installed it.
It was wrong username.
Thanx

Glad I could help you. Have fun!

How to upload a file to a folder?
Can you upload a file as “admin” to a user folder?
Can you download a preview?

lightaffaire · January 30, 2023, 4:54am

cloud-cli --local-file src-file --upload dst-folder/dst-file

If you can the preview file you can download it…

cloud-cli --list folder

Currently not possible to add a file as admin to a users folder structure.

Thanks for the quick reply

Sorry, didn’t get this one, could you elaborate a bit more?

lightaffaire · January 31, 2023, 3:48pm

if you can see the preview file using the --list folder command then you can download it.

Hello, nice work! Found it while evaluating possibilities to handle shares via cmd.
It works so far but only with “local” accounts. If I want to connect as a user who was imported from an ldap dircectory, it sadly does not work.
Users logged into NC/ldap get kind of a user-id, e.g. “841e3532-54d9-1d3d-8fea-d312ceeef81d”, a local admin would get “admin” instead. In the data/ dir, the folder of that ldap user is like the name “841e35”
To log into NC a user uses its ldap username, e.g. jdoe (for John Doe). If I use “jdoe” then, it fails: user unknown. If I use “841e35…” it says: No access, username/password wrong.

I replicated it with the curl command to get more information back.

Any idea? Thank you!

thanks for your feedback. I developed the script as a piece of glue to connect my photography workflow on a synology NAS to nextcloud running in a docker image on the same NAS. Has worked perfectly since I implemented it.

That was my itch and I scratched it with the current scripts functionality.

LDAP and remote user support is outside the scope of what i require and my time is limited.

However if you can cleanly add the LDAP/remote user functionality to my script I will update the master copy here.

Just send me the whole modified script or a patch diff against the latest 1.30 version available here:

Thanks

Hi Iain
thank you for the answer. For the moment, I solved it with a local user. I’ll take a deeper look into it some time later because we have to have a solution quickly. If I have to implement changes or have to add functionality I’ll let you know. Let’s see how it works for the staff first.
Cheers! -jan

Hi
I’m trying to use cloud-cli but can’t succeed

Our login is checked through LDAP. It is not our email address.

I tried the following using the curl command line showed with -v option :

User/Password ==> Principal with name xxx not found
Email/Password ==> password login forbidden
Emaill/AppPassword ==> No public access to this resource., Username or password was incorrect, No ‘Authorization: Bearer’ header found. Either the client didn’t send one, or the server is mis-configured, Username or password was incorrect

What shall I try ?

Thx

lightaffaire · June 19, 2024, 6:19pm

Hi,

i currently do not have time to add functionality we would not use on our projects.

Two possibilities:

add new functionality and send me the changes which i will add into the next release
pay me to implement the changes you require. If interested mail me at code@lightaffaire.com
