A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

Currently there's not Official sync client for use on Headless servers which run as daemon or background service.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be great if nextcloudcmd could be altered to have support for Notify_push (so it knows when to download) and watch the filesystem (so it knows when to upload).

But in the mean time, one can sort of create this themselves by triggering nextcloudcmd based on inotifywait - but for the other side, how can one trigger nextcloudcmd from the test_client when it receives an event?

forking the desktop client to be GUI less - but this is a really large undertaking.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I want to setup a client on a QNAP TS-133 - so it sync the online with an offline, this way local computers can use the local internet speed of the NAS, and remote computers can still see the updates
