ls

List files available on the nostr network for a given public key. This command shows which files have been published to nostr relays and indicates which files would be ignored based on local .nsite-ignore rules.

Usage

nsyte ls [options]

Options

• -r, --relays <relays> — The nostr relays to use (comma separated). If not specified, uses relays from project config or default discovery relays
• -k, --privatekey <nsec> — The private key (nsec/hex) to use for authentication
• -p, --pubkey <npub> — The public key to list files for (if not using private key)

Examples

List files using project config:

nsyte ls

List files for a specific public key:

nsyte ls --pubkey npub1... --relays wss://relay.example

List files using a private key:

nsyte ls --privatekey nsec1...

Authentication

The ls command supports multiple authentication methods:

1. Explicit pubkey - Use --pubkey to list files for any public key
2. Private key - Use --privatekey to authenticate with your private key
3. Project bunker - Uses the bunker configured in .nsite/config.json
4. Interactive mode - If no key is provided, you'll be prompted to:
5. Generate a new private key
6. Enter an existing private key
7. Use an existing NSEC bunker
8. Connect to a new NSEC bunker (redirects to nsyte bunker connect)

Ignore Rules

Files marked in red in the output would be ignored during upload based on:

• Default ignore patterns (.git/**, node_modules/**, etc.)
• Custom patterns in .nsite-ignore file
• Implicit dotfile ignoring (except .well-known/)

This helps you understand which remote files would not be re-deployed in a subsequent nsyte deploy command.
