Description urcindalo 2013-05-22 15:06:24 UTC
Copy is a new cloud service. It works just like DropBox but they give away 15GB for free, or 20GB with my referral in the URL :)
https://copy.com?r=KIBCzS

It has a Linux installer and, after having taken a look at it, it seems it will be very easy to create and ebuild and add it to the tree, as long as you know how to do it, which I don't :(

So, please, add it to the tree.

Thanks in advance.

I've installed it from the binary tarball myself, which is pretty simple.  Someone has already worked on an ebuild with a basic install (haven't tried it myself, though):

Ideally, I'd like to see a solution similar to the dropbox ebuild, though: init scripts that will start a CopyConsole daemon for selected users on system startup.

Partially working initscript - does not work as a boot service, but will work after network/DNS is working.

I'm trying to create an initscript for this myself by hacking up the dropbox initscript, but I'm running into a problem where CopyConsole will fail if network/DNS isn't working at the time it runs.  I've attached what I have, though.

Comment 5 David Gasaway 2015-03-16 22:30:08 UTC
Oh, I should have mentioned this: The initscript is creating pid files in folder /var/run/copyconsole based on username, so you might have a file name like "/var/run/copyconsole/joe.pid".  I have no idea if this is the appropriate practice.  I based it on some unused (leftover?) code in the dropbox script.

Well, Barracuda announced the discontinuation of the Copy service, so it's pointless now.  Bug should be closed.
