Best way to run headless

[Devenda]

Having read all threads about running this headless I still have not found a solution.

Setting SecretsBackendType to auto or file still prompts me to enter a passphrase.
The fork of @rfgamaral is outdated and seems to no longer support the latest version.

How do I go about automating the upload?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Devenda

Unfortunately this script was not intended to run in headless mode (#311).

Once you have completed the first run, obtaining the authorization code from Google Photos. The code is encrypted inside a file (if you're using SecretsBackendType: file) using the password (encryption key) that you provide.

Every time you run the CLI, you need to provide the same password to decrypt the file. You can provide it using a environment var (see it here).

I hope this will help you to answer the question.

Hi @pacoorozco,

Sorry, I must have not read the docs thoroughly!

This is exactly what I needed and it is working perfectly.

Many thanks and thank you for this project!
