croc/onedrive repository overview

⁠OneDrive client with Docker

Another good onedrive solution and container is here:

• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive⁠

If you have graphical UI ( = window manager) on your Linux, you should use better Apps for Onedrive sync, like:

• https://www.insynchq.com/⁠ (only one-time price / account)
• https://www.expandrive.com/⁠ (license required)

⁠Build

docker build -t croc/onedrive .

⁠Run

⁠Base Config

If you start first, You should configure first. Run without -d, because You have to answer to a form in the container.

docker run -ti --rm --name onedrive -v $PWD/config:/home/app/.config -v $PWD/data:/onedrive croc/onedrive

Open the URL (Authorize this app visiting), do the necessary steps (login on the opened site, etc...) and paste the long URL after the login. Maybe You see a blank white page, but a long URL in the browser's address bar. Copy this long URL and paste to response URI (Enter the response uri).

That's it. :)

Example:

# docker run -ti --rm --name onedrive -v $PWD/config:/home/app/.config -v $PWD/data:/onedrive croc/onedrive 

Authorize this app visiting:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=22c49a0d-d21c-4792-aed1-8f163c982546&scope=files.readwrite%20files.readwrite.all%20offline_access&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient

Enter the response uri: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient?code=M9d34df5b-d304-9606-9f06-38fd6afb76e0 
Creating directory: ./Documents
Creating directory: ./Pictures
...

If the sync is started, stop the container with CTRL-C (or with docker rm -v -f onedrive), and recreate the container again with some extra parameters or with docker-compose file with same config directory.

⁠Run

docker rm -v -f onedrive
docker run -tid --name onedrive -v $PWD/config:/home/app/.config -v $PWD/data:/onedrive croc/onedrive

If you need, change the permission of the folders to the user:

usr="<youruser>"; chown -R $usr /home/$usr/Documents/onedrive

Or check the docker-compose file for more comfortable usage :)

docker-compose up -d

⁠Optional parameters

• GROUP_ID - the default owner's groupID of the syncronized files (default: 1000)
• USER_ID - the default owner's userID of the syncronized files (default: 1000)
• SYNC_LIST - you can choose some folders for sync, other folders on your onedrive will be ignored for sync (example: Sync1,My Stuff,Work)
• VERBOSITY - if you want to see some more messages from the app :)
• 'MODE' - default mode is synchronize but you can choose monitor is you would like
• 'EXTRA_PARAMS' - you can define some extra params like monitor-interval, etc... check onedrive git page or write '--help' here for the available options

Example:

docker run -tid --name onedrive --restart always -v $HOME/Documents/onedrive/config:/home/app/.config -v $HOME/Documents/onedrive/data:/onedrive -e GROUP_ID=1005 -e USER_ID=1005 -e SYNC_LIST="work,my stuff,Sync1" croc/onedrive

⁠Configuration

The OneDrive container/clients sync all files basically.

You can skip files/drives and You can select only some files/folders for sync. You should use some configuration files for this.

⁠Selective sync

Create a sync_list file under the config folder that contains the files and folder names. Example: config/sync_list:

Backup
Documents/latest_report.docx
Work/ProjectX
notes.txt

⁠Skip list

You can ignore some folders from the sync with a skip_file.

List the files in config/skip_file:

MyOldStuff
Photos
Movies
Verylarge_stuff

⁠Known Bugs

Sometimes if you update a file locally the sync little bit slow. The file updates more than 1-2 minutes in the cloud after the change. So be a little bit patient :)

Good Luck!
