This is a python script that reports the current status of synchronization of the nextcloud-desktop-client (Linux only).
This is done by connecting to the nextcloud client socket, which is also used by the official syncstate nautilus-extension to show icon overlays that indicate sync status.
Much of the code is borrowed there.
To test it, just run:
python nextcloud-status.py
Will print either Up to date or Syncing.. to stdout (or warnings/errors).
For now, I decided to match the behavior of dropbox status, because I formerly used the Dropbox cloud service and integrated their command-line tool in many of my personal scripts.
This is also, why I decided to build this tool in the first place.
To install it globally, just make it executable and copy it to /usr/bin (or alternatively to ~/bin)
chmod +x nextcloud-status.py
cp nextcloud-status.py /usr/bin/nextcloud-status
Then you should be able to run nextcloud-status in your terminal.
If you have any questions, find bugs or have enhancement ideas, feel free to open an issue and ask for help. I cannot guarantee to find a solution, but I will try to work on this from time to time.
I also opened a discussion at the official nextcloud issue tracker.
- Add command-line usage info (
-h/--help) - Clean up code
- Add other info queries, e.g. sync status of subfolders. All possible socket requests are listed here.
