blobsaver-docker

Docker container for Blobsaver
The only purpose of this container is to automatically grab blobs in the background on systems that can't really natively run blobsaver.

Setup

You will need to already have a functional blobsaver.xml
Currently, this container does not have the ability to generate it automatically. There are ways to get this, mainly being to just see if your distro has a supported blobsaver package and generating it from that. Otherwise, if you already know the needed details for blob saving functionality with Blobsaver, you can just make the XML yourself.

By default, it will check every 5 minutes. You can change this by supplying an individual schedule expression for cron using the environment variable CRON_SCHEDULE.

Find a place to store your blobs. Something like /home/(user)/Documents/Blobs/. This will be needed later.

Docker container

docker run -d --name (container name) -v (path to blob directory):/blobsaver/blobs/ -e VERSION=(version) -e CRON_SCHEDULE=(schedule) passivelemon/blobsaver-docker:latest

Operator	Need	Details
-d	Yes	will run the container in the background.
--name (container name)	No	Sets the name of the container to the following word. You can change this to whatever you want.
-v (path to blob directory):/blobsaver/blobs/	Yes	Sets the folder that holds your blobs and the xml. This should be the place you just chose. Make sure your blobsaver.xml is in this location.
-e VERSION=(version)	Yes	Sets the version of Blobsaver that the container will download. Must be a supported version found on the Blobsaver. Use 3.5.0 at the minimum because that is when CLI functionality was added.
-e CRON_SCHEDULE=(schedule)	No	Configure how often Blobsaver should save your blobs. By default, it is */5 * * * *. Check out crontab.guru for explanation of this value.
passivelemon/blobsaver-docker:latest	Yes	The repository on Docker hub. By default, it is the latest version that I have published.

Example:

docker run -d --name blobsaver-docker -v /host/lemon/Documents/Blobs/:/blobsaver/blobs/ -e VERSION=3.5.0 passivelemon/blobsaver-docker:latest
