SpiderOakONE install/upgrade

I have documented how to install and configure SpiderOak in this thread How I got SpiderOak --headless to run on OS6 x64/x86

I thought I'd post, in the correct forum, on how to uninstall SpiderOak and install SpiderOakONE.  SpiderOak have recommended not to just install over the top of the existing SpiderOak install.

I assume you have SpiderOak installed as a systemd service to start in boot-up.  if that's not the case, skip steps 1 and 2.

Step 1: Stop the service and disable the existing service from starting on boot-up

systemctl stop spideroak
systemctl disable spideroak

Step 2: Uninstall/remove the existing SpiderOak install

apt-get remove spideroak

Step 3: Install SpiderOakONE

apt-get install SpiderOakONE

Step 4: Rename (or create if this is a clean install) the /lib/systemd/system/spideroakone.service file

mv /lib/systemd/system/spideroak.service /lib/systemd/system/spideroakone.service

Step5: Edit the file to point to the correct Environment file (I installed and used 'nano' as my text editor).  See the 'EnvironmentFile' below.  Also, I edited 'User' to be the owner of SpiderOakONE so i didn't need to pass the variable in a command line. Note the "ExecStart' line also points to SpiderOakONE

[Unit]
Description=SpiderOakONE backup service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]cd system,
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/SpiderOakONE
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/SpiderOakONE --headless $SPIDEROAKOPTS &

Step 6: Move (or  create)) the SpiderOakONE environment file

 mv /etc/sysconfig/SpiderOak /etc/sysconfig/SpiderOakONE

Edit it (i used 'nano').  This is a systemd and systemV config.  For systemd only, no change is needed as the SPIDEROAKOPTS line is the only one that matters.

#
# Configuration for SpiderOakONE service
#

# Options that get passed to SpiderOak. '--headless' is automatically specified
# by the appropriate script or configuration file. The available options are at
# https://spideroak.com/faq/question s/67/how_can_i_use_spideroak_from_the_commandline/
SPIDEROAKOPTS="--purge-historical-versions h24,d14,w4,m6,y"

# The following two options are only used by the SysV init script. 
# 
# SPIDEROAKUSER is the user(s) that will run the SpiderOak service. If multiple
# (space-separated) users are listed, a SpiderOak process will be started for
# each user.
SPIDEROAKUSER="bcotton" “root” or “admin” etc
# SPIDEROAKCMD is the binary that is executed. Normally it should not be
# necessary to set this.
# SPIDEROAK='/usr/bin/SpiderOak'

Step 8: Now we can enable the service for start-up at boot

systemctl enable spideroakone
systemctl start spideroakone
systemctl status spideroakone

One interesting aspect I noted, given my previous post on moving the cache folder from the /root, internal storage to the /apps directory on the spinning disk storage, is the SpiderOakONE install created a link in my root dir to SpiderOakONE.  And SpiderOakONE links to /apps/Spideroak.  I didn't do this - the install did!

drwx------ 1 root root 34 Jul 15 13:17 autostart
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Sep 24 10:29 SpiderOak -> /root/.config/SpiderOakONE
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep  7 09:21 SpiderOakONE -> /apps/SpiderOak
root@Sextuple:~/.config#

So it appears that my /apps/SpiderOak directory, which holds the cache, is automatically "re-instated" as the cache for SpiderOakONE.

Good luck!
