Add site with occ command

[EWouters]

Hi, how can I add a site using the occ command?

php occ config:app:set external <name> --value VALUE

I'm not sure what to put in the <name> field.

Thanks

php occ config:app:set external sites --value="XXX"

Replace XXX with the json encoded array of links. Or better don't for now, since it's not that easy.
I will mostlikely add a new command to easily do that in the future.

So here it is in bash:

do_add_external_site() {
  OCC="sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ"
  NEW_SITE="[\"$1\",\"${2//\//\\/}\",\"$3\"]"
  CURRENT_SITES=$($OCC config:app:get external sites)
  if [ -z "$CURRENT_SITES" ]; then
    CURRENT_SITES="["
  else
    CURRENT_SITES="${CURRENT_SITES::-1},"
  fi
  $OCC config:app:set external sites --value="${CURRENT_SITES}${NEW_SITE}]"
}

do_add_external_site MySite https://thisis.my/site

Thanks for your help!

Hello.

How to edit icons via "occ"? :)

[xaionaro]

Got it. It's the third argument, but it's required to save these images to apps/external/img/.

@xaionaro Correct, I did not add an icon in the example, but the bash script also supports adding icons if you place them in ./apps/external/img/ and add the path to the icon as the third argument:

do_add_external_site MySite https://thisis.my/site /var/www/nextcloud/apps/external/img/mysite_icon.png

I am not sure if you need the full path or you can use a path relative to the NextCloud install location, but the full path will definitely work.
