Incron thru GUI

mweedon · 11. Mai 2020

Hey Folks,

I would like a script to run whenever a file is added to a particular directory. (It's an upload to Google Drive).

From a Linux perspective it looks like 'incron' is the tool for the job but I'm always nervous making any system changes outside of the OMV GUI. Is there a GUI option for setting up a filesystem trigger or am I OK to venture out to the command line for this one?!?!

Cheers,

Mark

PS - Hope you're all staying safe and using the time (like me) to tinker!

If you want to be as safe as possible you can set incron to run through a Docker container instead of on the OMV system so no packages are changed directly on OMV.

Depending on the script you might even be able to run with read-only access.

Ooooo... I've skirted round the edges of Docker... but it'll be new ground for me!

I may take a couple of SD Card images first!

Thanks for the idea!
