Installation

To execute the following commands you need to connect to your server via SSH

Create a virtualenv

1. Download virtualenv

    wget -O virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/15.0.3.tar.gz
   

2. Extract virtualenv

    tar xvf virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz
   

3. Create the environment

    python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages ~/onedrive/
   

4. Activate virtualenv

    source ~/onedrive/bin/activate
   

Configure and run onedrive-d

1. Change to the virtualenv directory above

    cd onedrive
   

2. Download onedrive-d from github and enter its directory

    git clone https://github.com/xybu/onedrive-d-old.git
    cd onedrive-d-old
   

3. Add onedrive-d (virtualenv) directory to the PYTHONPATH

    export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/onedrive/lib/python3.4/site-packages
   

4. Install onedrive-d

    python3 setup.py install --prefix "/home/user/onedrive"
    python3 setup.py clean
   

5. Complete installation

    mkdir -p ~/.onedrive
    cp ~/onedrive/onedrive-d-old/onedrive_d/res/default_ignore.ini ~/.onedrive/ignore_v2.ini
   

6. Configure onedrive-d

    onedrive-pref --help
    onedrive-pref
   
    onedrive-d --help
    onedrive-d start
   

The onedrive-pref command will initiate a configuration wizard in which you will connect your OneDrive account (via visiting the provided link, logging in and copying the resulting URL into the SSH client). onedrive-d allows you to 'stop', 'start', 'restart' and check the 'status' of the program. To run these commands in the future, activate the virtualenv first.

    source ~/onedrive/bin/activate
    onedrive-d

Note: This software isn't an official release nor is it bug-free. You may find it necessary to restart the service on occasion, if it isn't syncing.
