Nextcloud files:scan with Docker

English, Linux 1 Minute
I wrote article how i’m Hosting Nextcloud with Docker. I’m using Docker Swarm and it will effect paths i’m here using.
To add bulk of files into Nextcloud you need to first move files to Nextcloud volume and then tell Nextcloud to rescan all files.

Move new files into Nextcloud volume

sudo mv FILES /PATHTOdocker/volumes/cloud_nextcloud/_data/data/USER/files/
sudo chown --reference=/PATHTOdocker/volumes/cloud_nextcloud/_data/data/USER /PATHTOdocker/volumes/cloud_nextcloud/_data/data/USER/files/*
sudo chcon --reference=/PATHTOdocker/volumes/cloud_nextcloud/_data/data/USER /PATHTOdocker/volumes/cloud_nextcloud/_data/data/USER/files/*

Scan new files

sudo docker exec --user www-data $(docker ps -q -f name=cloud_cloud) php occ files:scan --all

to scan only one users files change –all to USER

#sudo docker exec --user www-data $(docker ps -q -f name=cloud_cloud) php occ files:scan USER
