Rclone's gitannex subcommand enables git-annex to store and retrieve content
|
||
|
|
from an rclone remote. It expects to be run by git-annex, not directly by users.
|
||
|
|
It is an "external special remote program" as defined by git-annex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation on Linux
|
||
|
|
---------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create a symlink and ensure it's on your PATH. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ln -s "$(realpath rclone)" "$HOME/bin/git-annex-remote-rclone-builtin"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Add a new external remote to your git-annex repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new remote's type should be "rclone-builtin". When git-annex interacts
|
||
|
|
with remotes of this type, it will try to run a command named
|
||
|
|
"git-annex-remote-rclone-builtin", so the symlink from the previous step
|
||
|
|
should be on your PATH.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following example creates a new git-annex remote named "MyRemote" that
|
||
|
|
will use the rclone remote named "SomeRcloneRemote". This rclone remote must
|
||
|
|
be configured in your rclone.conf file, wherever that is located on your
|
||
|
|
system. The rcloneprefix value ensures that content is only written into the
|
||
|
|
rclone remote underneath the "git-annex-content" directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex initremote MyRemote \
|
||
|
|
type=external \
|
||
|
|
externaltype=rclone-builtin \
|
||
|
|
encryption=none \
|
||
|
|
rcloneremotename=SomeRcloneRemote \
|
||
|
|
rcloneprefix=git-annex-content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Before you trust this command with your precious data, be sure to **test the
|
||
|
|
remote**. This command is very new and has not been tested on many rclone
|
||
|
|
backends. Caveat emptor!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex testremote my-rclone-remote
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Happy annexing!
