NextCloud Notes Command Line Interface¶
Attention
This project has been archived and is no longer being developed. Please reach out to the maintainer if you would like to adopt it.
nncli is a Python application that gives you access to your NextCloud
Notes account via the command line. It’s a “hard” fork of
sncli. You can access your notes via
a customizable console GUI that implements vi-like keybinds or via a
simple command line interface that you can script.
Notes can be viewed/created/edited in both an online and offline mode. All changes are saved to a local cache on disk and automatically sync’ed when nncli is brought online.
More detailed documentation can be found at the homepage.
Installation¶
Assuming your system has both python3 and pip3, you can
globally install nncli and its dependencies with pip3 install
nncli.
If you are interested in packaging nncli for various
distributions, please consult the file CONTRIBUTING.rst in this
repository and reach out to the mailing list with any questions.
