idrive-docker

A hacky conversion of iDrive's new Linux binaries into a usable container. Based on a minimal ubuntu image with vim and python3 for speed tests and log viewing.

Requirements

• Docker (of course)
• an IDrive account
• Basic knowlege of vim (used by default to view stuff in IDrive's cli)

Brief steps to get this working:

docker build -t idrive . docker run --init --name idrive-backup -v /path/to/your/backups:/backups idrive:latest

in another terminal...

docker exec -it idrive-backup bash ./idriveforlinux.bin --install

follow prompts to set up your account...make sure you configure backup sets to the mount and set cron!

Once you are done, exit and type

docker stop idrive-backup docker start idrive-backup

You can close both terminals.

That's all there is to it! I'm sure I've made some hasty errors, so let me know.

TODO:

• Run as non-root user (requires filesystem permission tweaking for backups to read correctly)
• Convince IDrive to have command line switches or mountable config files
