I’m using Nextcloud AIO and I have a huge network drive mounted into NC called work.
I’m not syncing the entire work folder to my clients, but I need a solution to trigger Nextcloud to at least scan for changes in the selsected folders. I get it doesn’t scann by itself, and that is actually a good thing, not to do any unnescecary load on the hardware, but I need an option to trigger it. Right now I have to visit every folder in the browser for the client to start syncing the changes made to the selected subfolders in the work folder. Not every change if originated trhough Nextcloud, the local machines, edit the files directly through the smb connection.
Are you refering to the SMB update notifications?
The doc says:
“
To start listening to update notifications, start the occ command like this:
occ files_external:notify <mount_id>
“
Is this something I start once it will run forever after that? Or should I create a cron job for this command? How does this works i an AIO container?
Also my external storage is a Qnap NAS. The doc also says, that it’s not reliable on linux smb servers. What are the options for linux smb? Or is it working 99% of the times and I shouldnt be worried until gives me an issue.
