Summary

it is suggested to install nextcloud-client under ubuntu and nextcloud-desktop-cmd under debian,

Details

I am surprised that this page suggests install different soft under ubuntu and debian even if ubuntu is debian derivated.
And if it is right on https://help.nextcloud.com/t/how-to-install-nextcloudcmd/88096/5, nextcloud-client doesn't include nextcloudcmd.
I need to synchronized an ubuntu server (without desktop), so I installed nextcloud-desktop-cmd and nextcloudcm --version runs.
I am surprised too that nextcloud-desktop-cmd seams included GUI… it loaded more than 200Mo and loaded libgtk, libqt6…

Could someone clarify these two points ?

Is the best way on a server (headless) is to use rclone ?
