Supported settings

All app settings are saved in the local user folder in file config.json:

  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/NC Talk Electron
  • Windows 7 and newer: %AppData%\NC Talk Electron
  • Linux ~/.config/NC Talk Electron

Supported setting arguments (see example.config.json):

  • server_url - Nextcloud Server URL with installed Talk application (it is also supported as app CLI argument, use it as
    --server_url=http:\\nextcloud.address.com )
  • start_hidden - boolean true\false value means to hide app in tray on startup (default is false)
  • app_icon_name - default application icon path name to use in GUI (dock, taskbar and so on, default is icon.png)
  • show_on_notify - true\false value means to show app main window on every notification (default is false) (deprecated since v.0.2.5-alpha, check show_on_new_message instead boolean)
  • show_on_new_message - true\false value means to show app main window on every new message received (default is false)
  • use_server_icon - boolean true\false value means to use Nextcloud Server logo icon in GUI (dock, taskbar and so on, default is false

  • always_on_top - true\false value means to show app main window on top of every other windows (default is false)
  • auto_login - true\false value means to try auto login (make sure you have configured allow_domain and SSO in NC)
  • logging - boolean true\false value means to save application logs to the file app.log in local user folder (nearby config.json)
  • theme - application theme (dark, light, auto; default is auto)
  • notification_timeout - time period of notification show (in seconds, 0 - means to wait of user action)

For developers

Build depends on the platform since 0.2.9-alpha version as it brings support of the system idle detect function.

For Windows:

choco install python312 visualstudio2019community visualstudio2019-workload-nativedesktop visualstudio2019buildtools windows-sdk-10.0
pip install setuptools
git clone https://github.com/drlight17/talk-electron
cd ./talk-electron
cp ./package.json.windows ./package.json

For Linux:

apt install libxss-dev pkg-config
git clone https://github.com/drlight17/talk-electron
cd ./talk-electron
cp ./package.json.linux ./package.json

For Macos:

git clone https://github.com/drlight17/talk-electron
cd ./talk-electron
cp ./package.json.windows ./package.json

Platform independent steps:

npm install -g node-gyp
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npx electron-rebuild

To build win32 x86 (32bit) app remove node_modules\sharp\ after previous common commands, use package.json.win32-ia32 as package.json and run:

npm install --force --platform=win32 --arch=ia32 sharp

To run dev app use:

npm start 

In dev mode config path includes '-dev'

To build distributive use:

npm run dist

If there are any module errors try to npx electron-rebuild before every npm start or npm run dist.

Also check package.json.linux and package.json.windows. Pay attention: package.json.windows should be used for macos development and build.
