google-drive-ocamlfuse VS seaweedfs

I fixed the problem, it was due to the incorrect setup of the google drive. I followed this guide to set everything up from scratch and create the folder directly in Linux instead of constantly accessing the apparently "encrypted" cloud. If anyone ever runs into the same problem, I really hope this thread is helpful :D

You might be able to use something like https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse

Its a little hacky, but google drive with mounted ocaml-fuse kinda does-ish this... though git/GitHub does the trick, too.

There are fuse drivers like https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse but I pretty darned sure it's using exactly the same transport protocol as Google's own app.

you might be able to load a drive with locally with google-drive-ocamlfuse but you wouldn't get access to google drives proprietary files (google doc, sheet, slide, etc)

There's always the excellent unofficial google-drive-ocamlfuse which uses FUSE to mount Google drive to a local directory.

Agree with previous comment, dejadup is a good option for local backups, but there isnt a really good backup cloud tool in linux enviroment: https://github.com/vitalif/grive2, https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse, etc.

Whoops: WebDAV:

SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV

I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you.

It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.

If you want/need to take out the metadata, there's some nice solutions for that https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

I posted this on https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/discussions/5290

I like the idea of using SeaweedFS as an intermediate layer with object write notifications going to SQS, RabbitMQ, or a local file, which could also allow me to observe the changes to different files through a metric collection layer like Prometheus and Grafana.

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs
