You might be the only one still on it.

Well, I paid good money for it.... so until that server just falls off the face of the planet... or somebody runs around cutting fiber lines again, I'm going to run it into the ground, lol.

Every 15 minutes... to my Amazon Cloud Drive, ha ha ha.

What tool do you use to upload to Amazon Cloud Drive automatically?
-
It's a linux script. It's called acdcli ... https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli
That tool mounts Amazon Cloud Drive (acd)... You can mount it as a folder (acdcli mount /path/to/mountpoint) and you can upload files (acdcli upload sourceFolder/* /FolderOnAmazon)...
I figured out a way to use it to play all of my Plex movies on my C@C Host while actually playing them form the Amazon Cloud (or local storage on my C@C host)... It's an interesting setup.
-
@dafyre hey, do you think that that would work on a ReadyNAS NAS appliance?
-
@scottalanmiller Uploading from your ReadyNAS to ACD?
No reason why it shouldn't. The acdcli script is Python based.
Edit: I dont' know enough about ReadyNAS to know if it would work or not.
-
ReadyNAS is a Debian-based Linux server. I have root access.
-
@scottalanmiller If you have a Linux VM on the same network as your ReadyNAS...
Mount folder to ~/ReadyNAS
Make a folder on ACD and call it ReadyNAS.
acdcli upload ~/ReadyNAS/* /ReadyNAS
(first Parameter is the location of the local files, seocnd parameter is the Path to where you want to put the files on ReadyNAS).
If you are concerned about Amazon being able to access your files and such, you can also use encfs to encrypt the files folders before they get uploaded. (I'll do a writeup on this this weekend if I have time).
-
No, I don't. I'm hoping that this works locally on the NAS so that I can set up the NAS at my SIL's house and have it upload on its own.
-
@scottalanmiller Does ReadyNAS run a Linux distro or something? Cron Job + acdcli = OffSite backups
-
I followed this guide to get everything set up and working. I don't have autoupload going yet, but it should be as simple as a cron job...

-
What I have to upload does not change, it just needs to be done one time and then the NAS can be taken offline and stored and we will just use the ACD as the main storage.
-
If you're just using it for straight up storage and don't care, then yea... just run the acdcli upload.... until everything uploads. (It doesn't reupload files that already exist, so if you have a power outage or have to restart it or something... you should be good).

Oh even better. That's awesome. I am so working on this this weekend. Like our continuous downloads of video games, we need this huge upload of movies so that what we own is accessible to us when we travel! So cool.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah... I'm super excited about this. I have already shut down Plex on my Hyper-V server at home. Everything is C@C and ACD now.
-
ACD + Fire TV is a huge win. I mean truly epic for us. I can't believe how good it is turning out to be.
