No local delete option?

[renarios]

Hi!
I would like the option that files from OneDrive would be backed up only to my local server. And when the files are deleted in the OneDrive, they would remain locally, like the opposit of ONEDRIVE_NOREMOTEDELETE.
Is that possible?

This capability already exists.and sounds like you want to run a --download-only operation - as this is exactly this use case. Please read (specifically the second link):

• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md#performing-a-one-way-download-sync
• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/onedrive-v2.5.0-release-candidate-1/docs/usage.md#performing-a-one-way-download-synchronisation-with-microsoft-onedrive

This is the only way to achieve what you are looking to do.

Thanks for your reply.
I pulled the docker yesterday and followed the docs (https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/Docker.md#run-or-update-the-docker-container-with-one-script)

docker run -it -d --restart unless-stopped --name onedrive -v onedrive_conf:/onedrive/conf \ 
    -v "${ONEDRIVE_DATA_DIR}:/onedrive/data" \
    -e "ONEDRIVE_UID=${ONEDRIVE_UID}" \
    -e "ONEDRIVE_GID=${ONEDRIVE_GID}" \
    -e "ONEDRIVE_DOWNLOADONLY=1" \
    driveone/onedrive:edge

But when I delete a file i OneDrive, it still deleted on my server according the logs:

docker logs -f onedrive
usermod: no changes
Base Args: --monitor

And the file is actually deleted locally.

Please re-read the links I gave you.

The first is for v2.4.25 (which you are running) and performs as indicated - that is, the online state is downloaded and replicated including deletes.

The second is for v2.5.0 (rc1 at the moment, rc2 is pending shortly) - and this is where the difference in handling the online deletion is occurring when using --download-only

As an example with v2.5.0:

[alex@onedrive-client-dev onedrive-pr2661]$ ./onedrive --monitor --verbose --download-only --display-running-config
Reading configuration file: /home/alex/.config/onedrive/config

@abraunegg: Thank you very much for your prompt and comprehensive reply.
I had read your previous response and chose the Docker option (because I want to synchronize two accounts). However, I overlooked that it does not have the correct version yet.
I do want to install v2.5.0-rc2, but is it possible to synchronize two accounts with a manual install, or is Docker a prerequisite for that?

You do not need to use Docker to setup multiple configurations. Please read the documentation on this:

• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/advanced-usage.md#configuring-the-client-to-use-multiple-onedrive-accounts--configurations

There is no difference in the documentation between v2.4.25 and v2.5.0 for this.

Depending on how you want to set things up - you have options:

• multi configurations
• multi Docker configurations

[abraunegg]

@renarios
FYI - now that v2.5.0-rc2 is out. If you are looking to use v2.5.0-rc2 then please read #2710

If you are looking to use the client manually, you need to be using onedrive v2.5.0-rc2-4-ge1e35fa or greater.

If you are going to use Docker, please ensure you read this document very carefully first:

• https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/onedrive-v2.5.0-release-candidate-2/docs/docker.md

To build v2.5.0-rc2 as a Docker container, please follow these instructions:

git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git
cd onedrive
git fetch origin pull/2709/head:pr2709
git checkout pr2709
docker build . -t local-onedrive -f contrib/docker/Dockerfile
docker container run -v onedrive_conf:/onedrive/conf -v "${ONEDRIVE_DATA_DIR}:/onedrive/data" local-onedrive:latest

I saw that you released v2.5.0. That's really great! I can't wait to implement the Docker version. I am abroad for the next week, so when I come home I'll be testing your new version.
