File-tree installation with systemd-timer

Requirement: Working installation and config of rclone.

1. Open the file file-tree.service and adapt the line below to your needs:

   ExecStart=</absolute-path/file-tree.sh> -v -s

   -v add verbosity (good for testing)

   -s calls sync via rclone

2. Open the file file-tree.timer adapt the line below to your needs:

   OnBootSec=2min calls file-tree.service routine 2 min after the device was booted.

   OnUnitActiveSec=30min calls the file-tree.service routine whenever 30 min have been passed.

3. Open file-tree.sh and adapt it to your needs, especially the lines below:

   RCLONE="</absolute-path>/rclone" points to the rclone binary, if not in $PATH absolute path is neccecary.

   RCLONE_CONFIG="/home/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" points to the rclone config file

   UPLOAD="<storage-name>:remarkable" sync to the defined in rclone into the remarkable folder

4. Copy file-tree.sh script and the file-tree.service as well as file-tree.timer to your remarkable tablet via scp. Use the home folder, as this will be persistent across updates

   scp file-tree.sh file-tree.service file-tree.timer root@10.11.99.1:~
   

5. Log into the remarkable tablet.

   ssh root@10.11.99.1
   

6. Copy file-tree.service and file-tree.timer to systemd location and restart the systemd daemon and start the timer, finally enable it for persistent work across reboots. You do NOT need to start or enable file-tree.service as this is called from now on via the timer. However, you could start it to trigger the sync manually (good for debugging).

   cp file-tree.service file-tree.timer /etc/systemd/system/
   systemctl daemon-reload
   systemctl start file-tree.timer
   systemctl enable file-tree.timer
   

7. To check the output of the sync use

   journalctl -xn 100 | grep file-tree
