# CLI Automation & Scripting Recipes
|
||||
|
||||
This guide contains practical recipes for integrating `nut` into bash scripts, Unix pipelines, CI/CD runners, and headless server environments.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Piping Streams & Backups
|
||||
|
||||
### Piping Database Backups Directly to Nextcloud
|
||||
Stream database dumps straight to Nextcloud without creating intermediate local files:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# MySQL / MariaDB Dump
|
||||
mysqldump -u root -p mydb | gzip -9 | \
|
||||
nut upload -d "Backups/MySQL" --stdin --filename "mydb-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz"
|
||||
|
||||
# PostgreSQL Dump
|
||||
pg_dump mydb | zstd | \
|
||||
nut upload -d "Backups/Postgres" --stdin --filename "mydb-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.zst"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Piping Compressed Archives with `pv` Rate Metering
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Compress and stream with live throughput monitoring
|
||||
tar -czf - /var/log/nginx | pv | \
|
||||
nut upload -d "Backups/Logs" --stdin --filename "nginx-logs-$(date +%F).tar.gz"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Piping from `curl` / `wget`
|
||||
Download a remote file and forward it to Nextcloud in one pipeline:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://example.com/large-dataset.csv.gz | \
|
||||
nut upload -s -d "Datasets" --stdin --filename "large-dataset.csv.gz"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Scripting with `jq`, `xargs`, and Clipboard
|
||||
|
||||
### Uploading and Instant Clipboard Copy (macOS, Linux, Windows)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
nut upload -s --url-only screenshot.png | pbcopy
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux (X11 / Wayland)
|
||||
nut upload -s --url-only screenshot.png | xclip -selection clipboard
|
||||
# or wl-copy
|
||||
nut upload -s --url-only screenshot.png | wl-copy
|
||||
|
||||
# Windows PowerShell
|
||||
nut upload -s --url-only screenshot.png | Set-Clipboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Processing with `xargs`
|
||||
Upload all modified markdown files found with `find`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
find ./notes -name "*.md" -mtime -1 -print0 | \
|
||||
xargs -0 nut upload -s -d "Notes/Daily" --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Extracting Links and Metadata with `jq`
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Extract all public share URLs into a text list
|
||||
nut upload -s -r assets/ --json | jq -r '.[].share_url // empty' > links.txt
|
||||
|
||||
# Query direct download links
|
||||
nut upload -s build/*.pkg --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.success == true) | "\(.file): \(.direct_download_url)"'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripting with TSV
|
||||
Parse tabular output in bash loops:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nut upload -s -r photos/ --tsv | while IFS=$'\t' read -r file remote bytes success share direct; do
|
||||
if [ "$success" = "true" ]; then
|
||||
echo "Uploaded $file ($bytes bytes) -> $share"
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "Failed to upload $file"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. CI/CD & Headless Automation
|
||||
|
||||
### Non-Interactive CI / GitHub Actions Setup
|
||||
Authenticate non-interactively using environment secrets in CI pipelines:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Deploy Build Artifacts
|
||||
on: [push]
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
upload:
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
||||
- name: Install nut
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
curl -fsSL https://github.com/majinnaibu/nextcloud-upload-tool/releases/latest/download/nut-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz | tar -xz
|
||||
sudo mv nut /usr/local/bin/
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Authenticate Nextcloud
|
||||
env:
|
||||
NC_SERVER: ${{ secrets.NEXTCLOUD_SERVER_URL }}
|
||||
NC_USER: ${{ secrets.NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME }}
|
||||
NC_PASS: ${{ secrets.NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD }}
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
nut login "$NC_SERVER" -u "$NC_USER" -p "$NC_PASS" --label "CI"
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Build and Upload Artifact
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
tar -czf release-build.tar.gz dist/
|
||||
SHARE_URL=$(nut upload -s --account "CI" --url-only release-build.tar.gz)
|
||||
echo "Download link: $SHARE_URL"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Headless SSH Remote Server Authorization
|
||||
When working over an SSH connection without X11 or desktop forwarding:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run login in headless mode
|
||||
nut login https://cloud.example.com --no-browser --label "ProductionServer"
|
||||
|
||||
# nut prints:
|
||||
# ==> Please authorize access in your browser:
|
||||
# https://cloud.example.com/index.php/login/v2/flow/abc123xyz
|
||||
# ==> Waiting for browser authorization...
|
||||
|
||||
# Open that link on your local computer, authorize, and nut immediately captures the token!
|
||||
```
