Insync requires you download their bz2 "portable" package for utilization on rpi. Luckily, insync-portable operates almost exactly the same as insync-headless does meaning most commands work exactly as intended.

My changes include:

• Dockerfile now downloads armhf release
• Launcher is now in line with running portable out of its extrated directory
• s6 executes a pre and post script by utilizing cont-init.d but also 99-insync-setup which runs after the service as started to configure your account!
• Removed a bunch of guck like zabbix config, licensing, etc..

Things I should still do:

• Add more logging about what the script is doing for verbosity
• Cleanup any statically defined references that could utilize a variable instead (i.e. BINARY_LOCATION)
• Actually test multiple accounts works?
• Insert option to not automatically start syncing (a -n to the add_account command)
• Modify and test helper scripts for managing your account manually.

Note I modified this container for my use hence it is missing a few checks and niceties (including testing). I don't recommend you try using this unless you know what you're doing and like rolling up your sleeves. However, it will work swimmingly given you pass the right variables and have no alternate plans...

Dockerfile to build an Insync container image to synchronize Google Drive.

• Supports Multiple Accounts

• This Container uses a customized Debian Linux base which includes s6 overlay enabled for PID 1 Init capabilities, zabbix-agent based on TRUNK compiled for individual container monitoring, Cron also installed along with other tools (bash,curl, less, logrotate, nano, vim) for easier management. It also supports sending to external SMTP servers..
