Knowing that this is not a pure Nextcloud topic:
Does someone know how I could transfer pictures from my (Panasonic Lumix TZ-101) camera to my Nextcloud or to my ubuntu host running the nextcloud?
The camera is able to connect via Wifi.
But I can’t find out, what kind of share is needed or if Nextcloud can offer this. Or if not by Nextcloud itself, maybe indirectly to a ubuntu share.
the cam’s firmware most likely does not use any standard protocols but maybe there is some kind of proprietary program for your (proprietary) computer’s or cell’s OS.
if you have connected the cam to your wlan you could do a portscan and then test which ports you could use or “talk” to. you could install the proprietary “app” on your phone and - maybe - use that to “send” the pix to nextcloud via the nextcloud app installed on your phone; roughly the same way should work on your computer.
GOOD LUCK!
In the part “Wifi” (german) you found something about upload pictures to a network share (i think Cifs/SMB). But there is no part for Linux. Search “Samba” and “Ubuntu”. Perhaps you can test it with a windows pc in a wlan.
Yes, that’s what I’m doing now. Via smb to the destination in NC and than do an occ-files:scan and an occ preview:generate-all:
Here is my small script for this. Maybe it’s useful for someone else
@hajo62
Thank you for the script. For other user please correct the CODE-block.
Also i only use absolute paths in scripts where possible and/or useful.
What to correct? I don’t understand your suggestion…
scan_root_path is relative from the path where nextcloud put’s its data. If option -p is used, it’s extended by that relativ sub-path. ./nc_scan.sh -p Panasonic scans all in /<nc-data-path>/me/files/Photos/Panasonic
The script does not care where it is stored or runned from.
All you need to know is the path relative from where the occ-command expects the files - <username>/files took me some time to figure out
