Retention and Purging

[FriedCheese2006]

Recently set this up. I have an LXC running debian in Proxmox with docker installed. I've gotten it setup to backup to Google Drive.

Just looking to make sure I understand this right. Default settings are 7 days for retention and 1 day for the purge check.

Does that mean any event over 7 days will be deleted from Google Drive during the purge job that's ran each day?

That's correct yes

Small follow-on reply. I'm trying to shorten the retention.

docker run \
  -e UFP_USERNAME='XXXX' \
  -e UFP_PASSWORD='XXXX' \
  -e UFP_ADDRESS='XX.XX.XX.XX' \
  -e UFP_SSL_VERIFY='false' \
  -e RCLONE_DESTINATION='GD:/unifi_protect_backup' \
  -e DETECTION_TYPES='person' \
  -e RETENTION='3d' \
  -v '/root/clips':'/data' \
  -v '/root/rclone.conf':'/config/rclone/rclone.conf' \
  -v '/root/db':/config/database/ \
  ghcr.io/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup

But at start, I'm not seeing it updating:

2024-04-27 15:51:32 [ DEBUG ] unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup_core : retention=relativedelta(days=+7)

please look at the readme file for the correct environment variable names
