Duplicacy .deb App Package for ReadyNAS

This project downloads duplicacy from github, and packages it so that it can be installed on the ReadyNAS. The following assumes an ARM based NAS, but it should be possible to adjust the build process to build an x86_64 package as well.

Raspberry Pi build environment

Rather than running inside a VM, the following instructions assume a Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian Stretch). Modify the build scripts (to include the schroot calls) to use a VM instead. The official ReadyNAS build environment is at https://github.com/ReadyNAS/sdk.

To prepare the Raspi:

sudo apt-get install dh-make devscripts libxml2-utils
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip arm-linux-gnueabi-strip

Building the .deb package

To download and package a new release version of duplicacy, edit the VERSION file. Then, run:

./clean.sh
./prepare.sh
./build.sh

This should result in a package named duplicacy_#.#.#_armel.deb where #.#.# is the version number.

Preparing the NAS

Create a share named duplicacy. The package does not do that automatically. Use a Mac (or Linux) hosted duplicacy CLI to create the configured .duplicacy folder on the share.

Installing the App

Upload the duplicacy_#.#.#_armel.deb file to the NAS. The fvapp-duplicacy.timer will run the run-duplicacy.sh script every night (to adjust the frequency, edit the .timer file either before building or using SSH access to the NAS).

Final Note

Duplicacy itself is not free software. Please see https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy.
