Installation
Download the app from Nextcloud’s App Store through your Nextcloud instance.
If you prefer to download manually, you can download the latest version from GitHub and install directly:
-
Place this app in nextcloud/apps/ or nextcloud/custom_apps/
-
Here is a quick installation script you can use as base. Modify the first variable lines to match your setup:
pushd "/path/to/root/of/nextcloud/custom_apps" APPVER=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/chenasraf/nextcloud-jukebox/releases/latest | grep tag_name | grep -Eo 'v[^"]+') && \ curl -L https://github.com/chenasraf/nextcloud-jukebox/releases/download/${APPVER}/jukebox-${APPVER}.tar.gz -o jukebox.tar.gz && \ tar xfv jukebox.tar.gz && \ rm -rf jukebox.tar.gz
-
Then enable the app as you normally would from Nextcloud’s Apps page.

Development
Automation
Most development processes are automated:
- GitHub Actions run tests, builds, and validations on each push or pull request.
- Pre-commit formatting is handled by lint-staged, which automatically formats code before committing:
🛠️ The NPM package husky takes care of installing the pre-commit hook automatically after
pnpm install
.
