rclone-upload

an ABF extension to upload images to remote storage via rclone

concepts

has a concept of "local" target and "publish" targets

local

local will push the uncompressed image aka the .img file to a specified location. My example use case is it uploaded to my local NAS via smb

publish

Publish will push .xz .sha .txt artifacts to a specified location. By default it also publishes all of these files in a folder matching the full final ${version} name of the build

rclone version

by default it just installs the rclone in the build instance/container's apt repo.. If you need an newer version (ex: need the one with SMB support) use the RCLONE_INSTALL_LATEST="yes" flag to skip apt and install the package directly.

installation

copy or shallow clone this into userpatches/extensions/rclone-upload

configuration

rclone

the rclone configuration file must be located inside the userpatches/extensions/rclone-upload/config folder.

you can generate a config file via rclone --config userpatches/extensions/rclone-upload/config/rclone.conf and follow the prompt or borrow from the rclone.conf.example file.

you my also use seperate conf files and specify them via config variables:

RCLONE_LOCAL_CONFIG_NAME
RCLONE_PUBLISH_CONFIG_NAME

Add to build configuration

required variables

for local

RCLONE_LOCAL_TARGET

for publish

RCLONE_PUBLISH_TARGET
RCLONE_PUBLISH=yes

example configuration

declare -g RCLONE_INSTALL_LATEST="yes"   # needed for SMB support when using jammy base
declare -g RCLONE_LOCAL_CONFIG_NAME="rclone-nas.conf" 
declare -g RCLONE_LOCAL_TARGET="nas:mirror/armbianImages"
declare -g RCLONE_PUBLISH_CONFIG_NAME="rclone-s3.conf"  # both of these could be in same config
declare -g RCLONE_PUBLISH_TARGET="objectstore:mybucket/myprefix"

declare -g RCLONE_PUBLISH=yes   # you might just want to set this flag as an argument during ./compile.sh
