Clear instructions for docker use for regular home user

[dasb00ter]

Thanks for continuing to continue the torch after gmvault seems to have been abandoned.

I like that you described a flow for auth for your docker container for Auth but I am still a little unsure of exactly what to do especially in terms of ports and addresses to get proper authorization to my simple regular/free user gmail account. I assume the complication is that a browser cannot be opened for confirmation and that the browser is in fact being opened from the same origin as the request for auth.

I have looked at your instruction for just running not in docker and its helpful but I am not quite getting it.

Can you throw me a bone with nooby instructions. I think gmvault has over a million pulls so you could be helping quite a few people especially if your auth system is easier than that current situation
thanks for reading

1. create .data directory with your credentials JSON

.data
.data/my-cred-app.json

3. this script starting a temporary container and show the authorization URL

docker run -it --rm -p "127.0.0.1:43339:43339" -v "$(pwd)/.data:/data" -e GWBACKUPY_CREDENTIALS_FILEPATH="/data/my-cred-app.json" -e GWBACKUPY_ACCOUNT_EMAILS="[email protected]" -e GWBACKUPY_OAUTH_REDIRECT_HOST=127.0.0.1 smartondev/gwbackupy /bin/bash access-init.sh

4. copy URL and paste to a browser on same PC
5. allow access in browser
6. the google server redirect page to http://127.0.0.1:43339/... (gwbackupy script)
7. if success then show [email protected] account auth check successful for gmail service
8. The script given in point 3. automatically deletes the container after the operation, but the data remains in the .data folder.

After that, you can start a always running container.

docker run -d -v "$(pwd)/.data:/data" --restart always -e GWBACKUPY_CREDENTIALS_FILEPATH="/data/my-cred-app.json" -e GWBACKUPY_ACCOUNT_EMAILS="[email protected]" smartondev/gwbackupy
