#rclone

I think #rclone is the best way to do #backups: rclone.org/

It supports tons of backend stores: rclone.org/overview/

And its crypt module makes seamless encrypted backups very easy, ensuring cloud providers and state actors have no access to your data, and can't backdoor or disable it in response to, say, UK government Investigatory Powers Act technical capability notice orders: rclone.org/overview/

rclone.orgRcloneRclone syncs your files to cloud storage: Google Drive, S3, Swift, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Box and many more.

I guess I need to study Google's cloud platform API some more. I cannot figure out how to configure #rclone for Google Drive access from my #Linux laptop. Should I just give up on using my own Google Application Client Id and use the rclone developers?

I just stumbled across rclone. A tool for syncing files to cloud storage. Which can also encrypt and decrypt the data. So... something for a encrypted remote backup. Not only it works with SSH/SFTP, but also with a lot of other service like S3, Google Cloud Storage, HiDrive, Hetzner Cloud Storage and so on (see rclone.org/docs/).

Maybe I will create an blog post about rclone in the near future, because the docs weren't that straightforward (at least for me).

But in short (even when the examples sates otherwise), you need to add two hosts: one for sftp/ssh/rsync (or any other services) and one for "crypt". Then it will be encrypted on the sending computer.

Nice... I am positively surprised.

Hey #linux #debian people: it’s occurring to me that #rclone might not actually be the best way to do what I’m doing. So: if you had two Debian servers on a vpn, both with 1 gig fiber links to the internet, in cities 100 km apart, how would you go about having shared filesystems between them? Right now I am using rclone mount with sftp. Is there a less janky way?

A deeply annoying discovery I made today: if you have an #rclone mount that needs to be restarted, any running #docker writing to that mount is now writing to your filesystem without warning. I get that if the mount is gone, of course it has to write to the local filesystem. But when the mount comes back, it continues writing to the local filesystem, but if you change into the mounted directory, ls will show the contents of the mount, not the contents of the local filesystem that docker is busy writing to, and you will have no idea what black hole your files are falling into, because /mnt/offsite shows it's mounted, your docker agrees that it's writing to /mnt/offsite, and yet the files are nowhere to be found when you go to /mnt/offsite! They only suddenly appear when you umount the directory.

Hey all, was playing around with batch files, trying to make something that will mount all my virtual drives simultaneously in #RClone, and I wasn't getting there, so I made a simple one to organize a directory by file type instead! Feel free to use it!

Improvements welcome!

Today it suddenly occurred to me, "Hmm, I bet #rclone supports a compression backend. If so, then I could be compressing my cloud backups to save on storage costs." So I went and looked it up, and indeed it does, and I could.
There's even a "union" backend I could use to migrate gradually to compressed backups rather than paying download and upload costs to recompress everything.
Seems like a great idea, right? Or _is_ it?

So, I am giving #RClone a try. It’s a command line utility that will allow you to copy things from one cloud storage to the other with ease, sync one way or buy directionally, and Mount cloud storage as virtual drives on your machine so you can mount things like Google Drive, iCloud Drive, and even OneDrive without using any of their bloated and inaccessible software. Of course, the first thing I tried to do with it, it’s not capable of Yet. I tried to copy my writing from an off-line hard drive to three different cloud services with one command. That’s not possible as of yet, but I would still highly recommend this tool even if I’m sure I’m not utilizing it to its full glory as of yet. #CLI #DropBox, #NextCloud, #OneDrive
