auto_dl

This repo is used to watch and download files from a remote source to a local temporary directory. Once files have finished downloading, move them from the temporary directory to a post processing directory for other applications to pick-up.

Setup an incoming webhook on slack to use for these scripts.

rclone_move.sh

Download all files from a remote to local temporary directory and move to a post processing directory when download is complete. Delete the files from remote and post list of successfully downloded files to a slack incoming webhook.

setup

• Download the appropriate version of rclone for your host: https://rclone.org/downloads/.
• Copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable.
• On the host:
  • Run rclone config and follow the wizard to setup your remote destination that you will be downloading files from (i.e. SFTP, Gogle Drive), give it a friendly name.
  • Run rclone config again to setup your host as a rclone destination, give it a friendly name.
• If you will only be using the script to download files from a single directory, set the config varibles on lines 14-20.
• If you will be using this script to watch multiple directories:
  • Copy config_vars_sample to a name of your choice in the same directory as the script.
  • Set the config vars in the file.
  • Run the script and pass the name of the file as an argument: rclone_move.sh name_of_file
• Copy config_vars_sample as many times needed to a new file and repeat the previous steps.
