IDrive Backup Docker image

Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/renofischa/idrive

IDrive services persist, so no need to relogin after each restart of the container.
It also works in TrueNAS SCALE and on unRAID. Configuration examples are below.

• Docker installed
• IDrive account

services:
  idrive:
    container_name: idrive
    image: renofischa/idrive:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - config:/opt/IDriveForLinux/idriveIt
      - files:/mnt/files
      - $BACKUPDIR:/mnt/backup:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=$TZ
      
volumes:
  config:
  dependencies:
  files:

• volumes config and files are necessary for persisting account settings and IDrive services.
• $BACKUPDIR points to the local path you need to backup
• Optional timezone environment variable, default is set to Europe/Vienna in dockerfile

click on Apps -> Launch Docker image

• Image repository: renofischa/idrive
• Optional timezone environment variable
• Storage:
  • configure your local path you need to backup as a Host Path Volume:
    You have to mount each Dataset you want to back up in a seperate directory
    
  • configure volumes for persisting files:

    config:/opt/IDriveForLinux/idriveIt
    files:/mnt/files
    

    
• Update Strategy: Kill existing pods before creating new ones

leave everything else on default

Configure your IDrive account after first start.

• Exec into container
• Run ./account_setting.pl
• Login with your account details and configure other basic settings. Important is your Backup location.
• Now you should see your container in your IDrive dashboard.

In Version 3 idrive for Linux switched to a Bin package-based Installer.

• Container tag latest now contains v3
• steps to update a container to the new Version:
  • change mount path of volume config to /opt/IDriveForLinux/idriveIt
  • remove volume dependencies
  • Should look like this in docker-compose

  services:
    idrive:
      container_name: idrive
      image: renofischa/idrive:latest
      restart: unless-stopped
      volumes:
        - config:/opt/IDriveForLinux/idriveIt
        - files:/mnt/files
        - $BACKUPDIR:/mnt/backup:ro
      environment:
        - TZ=$TZ
        
  volumes:
    config:
    files:
  

  • Exec into container
  • Run ./idrive --account-setting
  • Login again with your account details.
  • At this question, you can enter 3 to exit:

    Do you want to:
    
    1) Reconfigure your account freshly
    2) Edit your account details
    3) Exit
    

  • Settings from v2 should still be there. Scheduled Jobs must be configured again.
