[Feature request] Freefilesync Donation Edition

Open NinFanBoyFTW opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Idea

Hi, I just wanted to first thank you for making this container, it is great. Just a question or feature request if it is not possible. I currently have the donation version of freefilesync which gives a bunch of other features that are great. I see that it provides a license key file for setup. Not sure if it is possible to put that in a directory already to activate it, or if there is a way that you would be able to implement a simple way to add that into the docker compose/config options.

Thanks again

To my knowledge, the donation version is a different binary and it is not open-source. Probably that the license key doesn't activate new features, but just allows using the binary.

In summary, the key cannot be used with the open-source version this containers implements.

I too have donated and would love to be able to use that version, i have tried forking your master branch then modifying the DockerFile to use the donate version URL, however when i do a build I get an error, any ideas?

"failed to parse platform : "" is an invalid component of "": platform specifier component must match"

I figure it has something to do with this like in the DockerFile - "FROM --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM tonistiigi/xx AS xx"

I just can't figure out what to do about that.

This container needs to be built with buildx. Instead of using docker build ..., you need to use docker buildx ...

However, this Dockerfile can't be re-used, since it is building FreeFileSync from sources and sources are not available for the donation version.
