NextCloud DMS Widget

A simple DankMaterialShell (DMS) Dank Bar widget for launching the NextCloud linux desktop client app image.

Usage

1. Download the NextCloud linux desktop client from the official website.

2. Move the AppImage file to ~/.local/bin/.

mv ./Nextcloud-33.0.0-x86_64.AppImage ~/.local/bin/Nextcloud-33.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

3. Make the AppImage executable.

chmod +x ~/.local/bin/Nextcloud-33.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

4. Create a .desktop entry for the executable in ~/.local/share/applications/.

# ~/.local/share/applications/nextcloud.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=NextCloud Desktop
Exec=/home/strixrox/.local/bin/Nextcloud-33.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
Type=Application

Now, you should be able to launch the app using gtk-launch nextcloud (same name as your .desktop file).

5. Clone this repo and cd into it.

git clone https://github.com/StrixROX/dms-nextcloud-widget.git
cd dms-nextcloud-widget

6. Copy the widget files from this repo to your ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/.

mkdir -p ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/
cp -r NextCloudWidget/ ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/

7. Open your dms settings window, goto Plugins tab and click "Scan". Then enable the plugin from the list.

8. Now, add it to your DankBar.

Done!
