Cloud services

Configure for sync to rsync-server

If you want to sync to your own rsync-server, please setup your server following the instruction in readme_rsync.md into the respository. After that the configuration of lbb should be self explaining.

Configure for sync to (commercial) cloud services

rclone does all the magic. Because in a lite raspbian lite installation you cannot open a local browser, most setups are a little bit more complicated. The easiest way might be the following:

  1. install rclone on your computer (not lbb!)
  2. start "rclone config --config=./rclone.conf" from a terminal
  3. select "New remote"
  4. name it
  5. select one service out of the large list
  6. follow the instructions
  7. if asked "Use auto config?" select Yes
  8. a browser opens, you have to log in and authorize the service
  9. finish the setup
  10. open your new configured config file ./rclone.conf using a code-editor
  11. copy the section(s) you want to use in lbb
  12. start lbb
  13. at lbb open "Files" and start the editor for rclone.conf into the root folder
  14. insert your copied section here
  15. YOU ARE DONE!
  16. maybe it's a very good idea to download lbb's settings, containing all the cloud-configs too
  17. SERVICES MAY ACCEPT YOUR CONFIGURATION DATA A LIMITED TIME ONLY! NEVER RELY ON THEM ONLY!
