SpiderOak for OS6
Hello All! I would love to see a SpiderOak addon be made available for the ReadyNAS. I spent considerable time assessing cloud back-up options and I landed on SpiderOak over Crashplan and Dropbox, namely: Dropbox is not encrypted and they will hand over data if lawfully requested in the US Crashplan uses Java and reading the config for it, seemed daunting SpiderOak has locally unecrypted, but cloud encrypted data. Lose your password = lose your data! Anyway, as a power user and not really experienced in Linux (last I used it was 1999 or so - ahhh RedHat) I spent most of yesterday trawling through the 'net to install it. I have been successful but it could be so much easier. SSH in install .deb file (installed as 'root' which is far from ideal - will need to change that in future) Setup machine from command line Install xorg to pass-through x11 via Putty SSH to Xming on windows desktop run SpiderOak and hope it fires up a window on the desktop Configure it shut it down via SSH create systemd scripts to install it as a service on boot If the configuration needs changing, root in, stop the service via systemctl and then run SpiderOak again via ssh x11 passthrough. Anyway, it works, and is happily uploading 500+gb up to the cloud. It would be fantastic if there was an addon which allowed for the configuration and monitoring of application via a web interface (like utorrent, or Dropboxmanager etc.) Here's hoping
