spideroak-systemd

Work in Progress

This project provides the systemd unit file for starting and stopping the SpiderOak service (https://www.spideroak.com) from a systemd environment. This is based off the work done by funnelfiasco (https://github.com/funnelfiasco/spideroak-init).

This repository includes the following files:

• COPYING.md -- the license (public domain where applicable, CC0 elsewhere)
• README.md -- this file
• install.sh -- install script (just for convenience)
• .spideroak.rc -- the configuration file
• spideroak -- the systemd script which deal with applying the configuration from .spideroak.rc
• [email protected] -- the systemd service file

Installation

Automatically

Just run ./install.sh directly from the git repo, all the files should be copied over. This needs root privileges!

Or use the AUR package.

Manually

To install on a system using systemd, copy the file '[email protected]' to /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected], copy spideroak to /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/spideroak, and the file .spideroak.rc to ~<username>/.spideroak.rc.

Configuration

Configuration is handled through ~username/.spideroak.rc. The systemd service will use the ARG variable to pass options to the SpiderOak process. '--headless' is automatically included and so does not need to be specified in ARG.

Note: the scripts and configuration do not perform any sanity-checking on your behalf. For the security of your system and data, ensure that files have the proper ownership and permissions.

Multi-user support

For systemd, the provided service file is a template. The text between the @ and . symbols is for specifying a user name that SpiderOak should be launched as. Thus to start SpiderOak for both user 'funnel' and user 'fiasco' you would run

systemctl [email protected] start
systemctl [email protected] start
