The Ask I was looking for a way to get notified from nextcloud when files were uploaded to a certain directory. This is because the upload is very spotty due to the physical environment of where the nextcloud client is, and once a file shows up I have a job to do. So I was hoping nextcloud had an easy way to say “if file shows up in X folder, notify me” but I can’t find it… Solution 2 # Since I already use gotify and they provide a DOPE CLI we can write a little bash script to work at the filesystem level rather than the nextcloud level.

This was owned by on the host, see Add yourself to www-data to view your Nextcloud data on the filesystem if you want but a simple does the trick.

So I had to think about how to persist the change and have it take effect now ideally without affecting any users too much… So here’s what I did - made the change in 2 places: In the co…
