Cloud service support for Kobo v0.2
Installation
Copy the KoboRoot.tgz archive in the .kobo directory of your reader (it is a hidden directory, so you might want to enable the visualization of hidden files) and restart your Kobo.
Configuration
After restarting, plug your kobo back into the computer. Navigate to the .kobo directory. A new kobocloud directory should have appeared. Inside, edit the file kobocloudrc to add the links to the cloud services (one per line).
Notice: No subdirectories are supported at the moment, so be sure that your books are all in the same directories that you are sharing.
Nextcloud (Owncloud)
To add a nextcloud (owncloud) link, open your nextcloud website in a browser and select the folder that you want to share. Click on "Share" and select "Share with link". Copy the link into the kobocloudrc file.
Please note that you need a recent Nextcloud version. Owncloud is at the moment not tested, but should also work.
Dropbox
To add a Dropbox link, open your dropbox in a browser. Select the folder that you want to share and click "Share" and "Send link". Copy the link that appears into the kobocloudrc file.
Usage
The new files will be downloaded when the kobo connects to the Internet for a sync.
Troubleshooting
KoboCloud keeps a log of each session in the .kobo/kobocloud/get.log file. If something goes wrong, useful information can be found there. Please send a copy of this file with every bug report.
Known issues
No subdirectories are supported
Support of Google Drive can be considered if there is demand
Acknowledgment
Thanks to the defunct SendToKobo service for the inspiration of the project and for the basis of the scripts.
Curl for Kobo was downloaded from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3734553 . Thanks to NiLuJe for providing it!
Thanks to Christoph Burschka for the help in updating this tool to the recent versions of kobo and nextcloud.
Je l'avais testé il fut un temps, y compris sur mon NAS ARM mais au bout d'un moment le serveur consommé un max de ressource (même sur mon core i7 avec 16Go de ram sous linux).
alors j'ai laissé tombé.
Et il faut ouvrir des ports supplémentaire que http ou https...
alors ça passe difficilement les proxy / routeurs d'entreprise.
sinon oui c'est une alternative à dropbox.
