什么是 Nextcloud?

Openclaw Skills 的 Nextcloud 技能提供了一个与自托管云存储交互的强大接口。它利用 WebDAV 进行创建、读取和移动文档等核心文件操作,同时利用 OCS API 管理系统标签、收藏夹和存储配额。该技能的设计注重简单性和安全性,使用 Python 标准库以避免外部依赖,使其成为任何代理工作流的轻量级补充。

此工具允许开发人员扩展其 AI 代理的能力,为他们提供云中的持久文件系统。通过与 Openclaw Skills 集成,用户可以自动组织文档,将活动直接记录到其私有服务器,并在其本地代理和远程数据存储之间维护安全的桥梁。

Nextcloud 应用场景

  • 在 Nextcloud 实例中上传文档、读取文件内容和移动文件。
  • 为自动化项目组织创建和管理目录结构。
  • 搜索特定文件或列出文件夹内容以检索代理的上下文。
  • 监控存储配额以确保云资源得到有效管理。
  • 为文件添加标签以实现更好的分类,或将关键文档标记为收藏。
Nextcloud 工作原理
  1. 该技能使用通过环境变量或机密文件提供的应用程序特定密码和 URL 向 Nextcloud 实例进行身份验证。
  2. 触发命令时,该技能使用标准的 urllib 库向服务器发送 WebDAV 或 OCS 请求。
  3. 该技能评估本地配置设置(如 base_path 和写入权限),以确保操作保持在定义的安全边界内。
  4. 服务器响应被解析并转换为结构化数据,供代理理解或向用户显示。
  5. 贴标签等高级操作使用 OCS API 与文件 ID 和基础文件系统属性之外的元数据进行交互。

Nextcloud 配置指南

要在 Openclaw Skills 生态系统中使用此技能,请遵循交互式设置过程:

python3 scripts/setup.py
python3 scripts/init.py

或者,您可以手动在 ~/.openclaw/secrets/nextcloud_creds 中配置您的凭据,格式如下:

NC_URL=https://cloud.example.com
NC_USER=username
NC_APP_KEY=app-password

请确保在 Nextcloud 设置的“安全”选项卡下生成应用程序密码。

Nextcloud 数据架构与分类体系

该技能通过两个主要的本地文件管理其操作数据和安全设置:

路径 用途
~/.openclaw/secrets/nextcloud_creds 存储敏感的访问凭据(URL、用户、应用程序密钥),权限为 chmod 600。
~/.openclaw/config/nextcloud/config.json 存储行为标志,如沙箱化的 base_pathallow_writeallow_delete

config.json 文件允许用户将代理限制在特定的子目录中,确保其仅与授权数据进行交互。

description: "Nextcloud file and folder management via WebDAV + OCS API. Use when: (1) creating, reading, writing, renaming, moving, copying, or deleting files/folders, (2) listing or searching directory contents, (3) toggling favorites or managing system tags, (4) checking storage quota. NOT for: Nextcloud Talk, Calendar/Contacts (use CalDAV), app management (requires admin), large binary transfers, or creating share links (share capability not included by default - see README)."

Nextcloud Skill

Full Nextcloud client: WebDAV (files/folders) + OCS (tags, user info). Zero external dependencies - stdlib only (urllib). Credentials: ~/.openclaw/secrets/nextcloud_creds · Config: ~/.openclaw/config/nextcloud/config.json

Trigger phrases

Load this skill immediately when the user says anything like:

  • "upload / save / write this file on Nextcloud / NC / cloud"
  • "create a folder on Nextcloud", "mkdir in NC"
  • "list / browse / show what's in [folder] on Nextcloud"
  • "search for [file] in NC", "find [file] on Nextcloud"
  • "read / get / download [file] from Nextcloud"
  • "rename / move / copy [file] on Nextcloud"
  • "check my storage quota", "how much space on NC"
  • "tag this file", "mark as favorite on Nextcloud"

Quick Start

python3 scripts/nextcloud.py config    # verify credentials + active config
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py quota     # test connection + show storage
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py ls /      # list root directory

Setup

python3 scripts/setup.py       # interactive: credentials + permissions + connection test
python3 scripts/init.py        # validate all configured permissions against live instance

init.py only runs write/delete tests when both allow_write=true and allow_delete=true. When allow_delete=false, write tests are skipped - no test artifacts are created or left behind.

Manual - ~/.openclaw/secrets/nextcloud_creds (chmod 600):

NC_URL=https://cloud.example.com
NC_USER=username
NC_APP_KEY=app-password

App password: Nextcloud → Settings → Security → App passwords.

config.json - behavior restrictions:

Key Default Effect
base_path "/" Restrict agent to subtree (e.g. "/Jarvis")
allow_write false mkdir, write, rename, copy (enable explicitly)
allow_delete false delete files and folders (enable explicitly)
readonly_mode false override: block all writes regardless of above

Safe defaults: both allow_write and allow_delete are false by default. Enable each explicitly only when needed. Combine with a restricted base_path (e.g. "/Jarvis") to limit the agent's scope. Share capability is not included by default. See README for instructions on how to restore it if needed.

Storage & credentials

The skill reads and writes the following paths. All usage is intentional and documented:

Path Written by Purpose
~/.openclaw/secrets/nextcloud_creds setup.py Nextcloud credentials (NC_URL, NC_USER, NC_APP_KEY). chmod 600. Never committed.
~/.openclaw/config/nextcloud/config.json setup.py Behavior restrictions (base_path, allow_write, allow_delete, readonly_mode). No secrets. Not in skill dir - survives clawhub updates.

Credentials can also be provided via environment variables (NC_URL, NC_USER, NC_APP_KEY) instead of the creds file. The skill checks env vars first.

Cleanup on uninstall: clawhub uninstall nextcloud-files removes the skill directory. To also remove credentials and config:

python3 scripts/setup.py --cleanup

On reinstall, any existing config at ~/.openclaw/config/nextcloud/config.json is picked up automatically.

Module usage

from scripts.nextcloud import NextcloudClient
nc = NextcloudClient()
nc.write_file("/Jarvis/notes.md", "# Notes
...")
nc.mkdir("/Jarvis/Articles")
items = nc.list_dir("/Jarvis")

CLI reference

# Files & folders
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py mkdir /path/folder
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py write /path/file.md --content "# Title"
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py write /path/file.md --file local.md
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py write /path/file.md --content "new entry" --append
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py read  /path/file.md
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py rename /old /new
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py copy   /src /dst
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py delete /path
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py exists /path          # exit 0/1

# Listing & search
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py ls /path --depth 2 --json
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py search "keyword" --path /folder --limit 20

# Favorites & tags
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py favorite /path/file.md
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py tags
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py tag-create "research"
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py tag-assign  

# Account
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py quota
python3 scripts/nextcloud.py config

Templates

Structured workspace setup

python3 scripts/nc_setup.py --root Jarvis --folders Articles,LinkedIn,Recherche,Veille

Append to a running log

nc.append_to_file("/Jarvis/log.md", f"
## {today}
{entry}
")

Read and update a JSON list

items = nc.read_json("/Jarvis/Veille/articles.json")
items["articles"].append(new_article)
nc.write_json("/Jarvis/Veille/articles.json", items)

Tag a file after creation

ls = nc.list_dir("/Jarvis/Articles", depth=1)
file_id = next(f["file_id"] for f in ls if f["name"] == "article.md")
tags = nc.get_tags()
tag_id = next(t["id"] for t in tags if t["name"] == "published")
nc.assign_tag(file_id, tag_id)

Ideas

  • Sandbox the agent with base_path: "/Jarvis" - it can't touch anything else
  • Store agent-produced Markdown files and auto-share a read-only link in the reply
  • Use append_to_file for rolling logs or changelogs
  • Use write_json + read_json for persistent state between sessions
  • Auto-tag files by category (research / draft / published)

Combine with

Skill Workflow
ghost Write a post → save Markdown draft to NC → publish to Ghost
summarize Summarize a URL → save summary as .md to NC
gmail Receive an attachment → save to NC for archiving
obsidian Sync Obsidian vault notes to NC for remote backup
self-improving-agent Log agent learnings to NC for persistent, searchable history
