VAST HELPDESK — Nextcloud commands Files, folders, shares, users, groups and quotas on the Nextcloud server. Staff only, unless allowed for a client. How to run: one terminal line per command, starting with "$ ". Replace example values with real ones. Common tasks: - Give a client Nextcloud access in one step (user + password + folder + share + their record): $ set up nextcloud for client narjis with folder /Gova - Several steps run one at a time: after each you get its result and send the next command (or "done"). Create commands also reuse what already exists (an existing user keeps their password): $ create user narjis $ create folder /Gova $ share /Gova with narjis edit - Decide from a result: search first, then create only if it was not found, then share: $ find folder TestMe (result: No folder named like "TestMe") $ create folder /TestMe $ share /TestMe with narjis edit done - Find a folder when you only know part of its name: $ find folder alex - See inside a folder (with one level of subfolders): $ list folders in /Clients - See the files in a folder, with sizes and dates (one level): $ list files in /Clients/Acme - Users and passwords: a new user gets a strong random password, or the one you type; either way the login is sent to you privately. A password you type is never shown back, logged or sent to a brain (delete your message afterwards): $ create user sara $ create user sara with a random password $ create user sara with password Blue-Cedar-2026 $ reset password of sara $ set password of sara to Blue-Cedar-2026 - Check access: who sees a folder, and what a user can open: $ who can see /Gova $ what does narjis have access to All commands: $ reset my nextcloud password Reset my Nextcloud password.
