:floppy_disk: Node gdrive

:eyes: Project status

:key: Create credentials and token files

To get credentials.json file you need to visit:

• https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/nodejs

Then click ENABLE THE DRIVE API and click DOWNLOAD CLIENT CONFIGURATION

This will download credentials.json file, you can save it in secrets folder in the project. Now you need to generate token.json file, to do this you need to execute any command to access your google-drive, for example:

:boat: Using docker

Then you could execute a simple command to generate token.json:

Be careful to copy credentials.json into $PWD/secrets path

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD/secrets:/app/secrets/ d0whc3r/gdrive -l

:pencil: Using downloaded project

First you need to download project from github using:

git clone https://github.com/d0whc3r/node-gdrive.git
cd node-gdrive
yarn install

Then you could execute a simple command to generate token.json:

yarn cli -l

:beginner: Next step

Using docker or project files the -l command is for listing existing files in google-drive

If credentials.json is present but token.json is missing this last file will be generated showing an url into terminal output, you need to enter that url and validate all needed permisions, then a token will be shown in your web browser, this token need to be pasted in terminal.

By default this software check for credentials (and token) file in folder secrets but it could be changed using environment variables:

• CREDENTIALS_FILE: File with credentials (credentials.json)
• TOKEN_FILE: File with token, generated using credentials (token.json)

:boat: Docker usage

You could use cli app in docker

:rowboat: Build docker image

docker build -t gdrive .

:checkered_flag: Run cli commands inside docker

docker run --rm gdrive --help

To make docker image work properly you need to indicate where credentials and token are located

docker run --rm -v $PWD/secrets:/app/secrets:ro gdrive -l

:checkered_flag: Cli help output

Using docker image from hub.docker.com

docker run --rm d0whc3r/gdrive --help

  2. Backup multiple files to "backupFolder" folder.                                  $ gdrive -b src/index.ts -b images/logo.png -f backupFolder   
  3. Backup files using wildcard to "backup" folder.                                  $ gdrive -b src/* -b images/* -f backup                       
  4. Backup files using wildcard and zip into "zipped" folder folder will be          $ gdrive -b src/* -b images/* -z -f zipped -c
