If you are an avid seedbox user, here is another option for automatic uploads to google drive.
There are many ways of achieving this, including a cronjob.
I like this option, as it only runs rclone when a torrent completes.
Using inotifywait to watch for file system events, we look out for primarily the ‘move’ event.
When your torrent completes, it moves the completed torrent into the completed folder.
When this event takes place, when then execute rcopy.sh
Setup rclone and scripts
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | mkdir ~/bin cd ~/bin wget https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip unzup rclone-v1.38-linux-amd64.zip mv rclone*/* . |
rwait.sh
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | #!/bin/bash -x COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/ if [ -f "~/bin/rwait.sh.lock" ]; then exit else touch ~/bin/rwait.sh.lock while true do inotifywait -r -e modify,attrib,move,close_write,create,delete,delete_self $COMPLETED_TORRENTS ~/bin/rcopy.sh done rm -f ~/bin/rwait.sh.lock fi |
rcopy.sh
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | #!/bin/bash -x COMPLETED_TORRENTS=~/private/deluge/completed/ if [ -f "~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock" ]; then exit else touch ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock rclone --verbose --transfers=8 copy "$COMPLETED_TORRENTS" "google:/unsorted/" rm -f ~/bin/rcopy.sh.lock fi |
Permissions and PATH
Once you have setup the 2 scripts, make them executable
Permissions
1 2 3 | chmod +x ~/bin/* |
If ~/bin is not in your path, then add it and reload your shell
Edit Path
1 2 3 4 | echo "PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc |
Finally you can either run the main script in a cronjob or do as i do, and run it in the screen session
Finalize and run in the background
Screen session
1 2 3 | screen ~/rwait.sh |
