I recently switched to iDrive for my backup needs but couldn’t work out how to get it running on Linux. iDrive provide a series of scripts for Debian machines but this is obviously no good for non Debian systems (using Nixos here). I read about a method of hacking the scripts so they think you’re running Debian, but this didn’t work. Anyway, I eventually figured it out and thought I’d share the workaround here in case it’s useful to anyone. The solution is to use Distrobox. Just set up a Debian box there and run the scripts as described. It took me 2-3 goes to get the dependencies installed but now it’s all great and working as intended. Good luck, fellow iDrive users.
