simple hacky inotify-based driver loop for the rclone application to sync a
directory to cloud services on change.
- docker
rcloneinstalled locally to round-trip authentication
RCLONE_SOURCEthe source directory (in-container!) to copy to cloud storageRCLONE_REMOTEthe rclone remote config to be copied to (remote-name:folder-name, eg.umtsync:upload-folder)SYNC_MINTIME(default 1s) the minimum amount of time to wait for events - if many events are detected within mintime, only one sync will occur.SYNC_MAXTIME(default 5m) the maximum amount of time to wait for events - if no events are detected within this time, sync anyway.
- build the docker image (or pull from somewhere)
- run the service, with env vars for control:
$ docker build .
...
...

$ docker run -it --rm \
-v ./uploads:/mnt/umtsync \ # mount the 'uploads' directory to /mnt/umtsync
-eRCLONE_SOURCE=/mnt/umtsync \ # "local" to the container source for uploads (folder mounted above)
-eRCLONE_REMOTE=umtsync:umt-sync \ # "remote-name:folder-name", where remote name is setup later
-eSYNC_MINWAIT=1 \ # minimum wait time (debouncing)
-eSYNC_MAXWAIT=30 \ # maximum wait time (scan for possible missed events)

- leave that running; you'll get output explaining that the remote isn't configured.
- in another terminal:
- find the running image
- exec in and configure
rclone- use
umtsync(or whatever you named your remote) - say
Nwhen being offered to launch a browser for auth, then follow instructions
- use
$ docker ps
