Tricks
Syncing Files
- This very important in the self hosted world. How do we put and get files outside of the app itself.
- This can easily be done though you need root access.
- Use rsync or similar to sync or copy programs right into the directories.
- Then you need to run an occ (OwnCloudCommand) program with php to rescan for files. Then it will add all the files to the database.
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/mir.next.msgvte/occ --verbose --unscanned files:scan --all
- -u will specify the user
- php runs the current version of php.
- --verbose or -V tell you more as it happens.
- --unscanned will only check what has not been scanned. HUGE time savings.
- files:scan is the actual command or program that runs.
Maintenance Mode
You can turn it on and off with the following command.
