This module automatically downloads your iCloud Drive & Photos to the local filesystem.
This tool will output the following directory structure:
.
└── Drive
└── <...>
└── Photos
└── All Photos
└── <.png|.jpg|.mov|...>
Apple makes great services, but there are many horror stories of people locked out of their accounts. So be safe, and keep your data backed up!
If you have Node.js already installed, run:
$ npx -y icloud-backup \
--username "[email protected]" \
--password "abcd efgh ijkl mnop" \
--filepath "~/Backups/iCloud/" \
--services "drive,photos"The first time you will need to enter your 2FA code manually.
Hint: You can schedule this in a cronjob for automated backups.
If you prefer Docker, this is an example how to run:
$ docker run -it \
--env ICLOUD_BACKUP_USERNAME="[email protected]" \
--env ICLOUD_BACKUP_PASSWORD="abcd efgh ijkl mnop" \
--env ICLOUD_BACKUP_FILEPATH="/backups" \
--volume="~/Backups/iCloud/:/backups/" \
ghcr.io/weejewel/icloud-backupHint: when automating this within a cronjob, remove
-itafter the first run.
Most hard work is done by @foxt in icloud.js. Please sponsor them!
