=== Installation ===
 
=== Installation ===
   −
Rclone can be installed as follows: (https://rclone.org/install/)
+
Rclone is made available as a statically linked executible and can be installed as follows: (https://rclone.org/install/)
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
 +
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
 +
cd rclone-*-linux-amd64
 +
sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/
 +
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
 +
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone
 +
</pre>
 +
 
 +
Note that this loads the 64 bit version, other versions are available.
 +
 
 +
Then you can run the configuration process:
 +
 
 +
<pre>rclone config</pre>
 +
 
 +
Choose your cloud provider and follow the instructions for a headless server.
 +
 
 +
For Dropbox I had to run rclone on a desktop with a browser, giving permission for rclone to be allowed to connect to Dropbox and then copy and paste a key string across to the smeserver.
 +
 
 +
=== Useage ===
 +
 
 +
Here is the shell script that I developed and tested to see if it would work:
   −
<code>
+
<pre>
curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip<br />
+
!/bin/sh
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip<br />
+
signal-event pre-backup
cd rclone-*-linux-amd64<br />
+
cd /
sudo cp rclone /usr/bin/<br />
+
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone<br />
+
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone<br />
+
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom
</code>
+
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-custom
 +
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/home
 +
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/ssh
 +
rclone mkdir smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/root
 +
rclone copy -v  / smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver --files-from backup-files-list-rclone
 +
rclone copy -v  "etc/e-smith/templates-custom/" "smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/"
 +
rclone copy -v  "etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/" "smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/"
 +
rclone copy -v  etc/ssh smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/ssh
 +
rclone copy -v  root smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/root
 +
rclone copy -v  home/e-smith/ smeserver-dropbox:backup/smeserver/home/ --exclude "tmp/**"
 +
</pre>
   −
Then you can the configuration process:
+
=== Incremental Backup ===
   −
<code>rclone config</code><br />
+
holk has documented a use of rclone that will give an incremental backup for up to 7 days (or whatever you might want)
and follow the instructions for a headless server <br />
     −
For Dropbox I had to run rclone on a desktop with a browser, giving permission for rcloe to be allowed to connect to Dropbox and then copy and pasting a key string across to the smeserver.

 +
 
 +
=== Encrypted ===
 +
 
 +
Rclone allows the remote data to be encrypted by specifying an intermediate remote which does the encrypting.
 +
 
 +
[https://rclone.org/crypt/ See here.]
 +
 
 +
I have not tried this, but it looks pretty easy to add in and does not involve the SMEServer software.
 +
 
 +
=== Restore ===
 +
 
 +
I assume that you can restore by just copying the data back from the cloud provider and then doing a signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot;
    
=== Uninstall ===
 
=== Uninstall ===
 +
 +
Just delete /usr/bin/rclone and the config file /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
