== Workarounds on Linux clients ==
=== Mount with davfs on Fedora Clients ===
While you might love the easy setup of the gnome client for nextcloud, you might encounter some frustration of having your favourite applications not showing nextcloud as mounted and needing to find it to sometime not being able to access it.
Here is a workaround
First as root<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
dnf install davfs2 -y
usermod -aG davfs2 $YOURUSER
echo "use_locks 0" >> /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav /home/$YOURUSER/nextcloud davfs user,rw,auto 0 0
" >> /etc/fstab
</syntaxhighlight>then you should log out /log in with your user in order to have the group membership. You can also just do "su -l USERNAME"
then as your user (replace your_password by your password, or a token;):<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir ~/nextcloud
mkdir ~/.davfs2
echo "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav your_Nextcloud_username your_password" >> ~/.davfs2/secrets
chmod 0600 ~/.davfs2/secrets
</syntaxhighlight>then just mount ! <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mount ~/nextcloud
</syntaxhighlight>
From there you can tweak the cache configuration to make it easier for you if you are far from the server, default cache size is 50MiByte, you could increase it to let's say 3 GiByte in ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf for your user <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cache_size 3G
</syntaxhighlight>you should see the folder mount at every logon from now on! if you do not want that, change "auto" in the fstab by "noauto".
Then add the following in ~/bash_profile or ~/bash_rc. You could user also mount -a and to try to put something in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/" instead<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mount /home/username/nextcloud
</syntaxhighlight>And Finally to umount in gdm using "sudo vim /etc/gdm/PostSession/"<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
if [ ${USERNAME} = "myuser" ];then
umount -fl /home/myuser/nextcloud
fi
</syntaxhighlight>
