first time authentication from Docker Compose using auth files arg

[Rathna-K]

Reference Issue: #1557
I am trying to do the auth with files and thru docker compose but I am running in to an error.

Compose command:

- --auth-files authUrl:responseUrl
- --verbose
volumes:
- /home/onedrive/conf:/onedrive/conf
- /home/onedrive/data:/onedrive/data

I see, it recognized the verbose command but not the later. Do I have the commands correct in my compose?

Here is the log when I start the container.

onedrive | Base Args: --monitor
onedrive | # Launching onedrive
onedrive | Using 'user' Config Dir: /home/onedrive/.config/onedrive
onedrive | Using 'system' Config Dir: /etc/onedrive
onedrive | No user or system config file found, using application defaults
onedrive | Unrecognized option --auth-files authUrl:responseUrl
onedrive | Try 'onedrive -h' for more information
onedrive exited with code 1

So there are a number of issues here.

1. Unrecognized option --auth-files
2. authUrl:responseUrl

Firstly, --auth-files should be a recognised option. How are you building your Docker container and from what source? You need to consume the Docker container from https://hub.docker.com/r/driveone/onedrive and nowhere else. If your Docker container is not understanding this option, you are not using the correct Docker container.

The second one is essentially how you have interpreted the documentation and prior questions+answers regarding the use of this option.

What you have done is literally follow the documentation - without substituting the items with the actual items required as per the documentation.

The authUrl:responseUrl items are key|value pairs and need to point to specific files that your system has access to, for example:

--auth-files /path/to/where/my/auth/url/file/sits/authURLFile:/path/to/where/my/auth/response/file/sits/responseUrlFile

The contents of these files need to be, for example:

authURLFile

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=d50ca740-c83f-4d1b-b616-12c519384f0c&scope=Files.ReadWrite%20Files.ReadWrite.All%20Sites.ReadWrite.All%20offline_access&response_type=code&prompt=login&redirect_uri=https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient

The application will write the Authentication URL to this file - you do not need to add the content in there - but the path to where this file exists must exist so that the URL can be written to this file.

You then can use this URL, from this file and grab the response.

responseUrlFile

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient?code=<redacted>

This file should contain your actual authentication response from OneDrive when you use the authentication URL above.

The application will wait for the existence of the /path/to/where/my/auth/response/file/sits/responseUrlFile before attempting to perform the authentication of the client.

Here is my full compose file:

services:
  onedrive:
    image: driveone/onedrive:latest
    stdin_open: true # docker run -i
    tty: true        # docker run -t
    container_name: "onedrive"
    restart: always
    environment:
      - ONEDRIVE_UID=xxx
      - ONEDRIVE_GID=xxx
    command:
      - --auth-files /onedrive/conf/authUrl:/onedrive/conf/responseUrl
      - "--auth-files /onedrive/conf/authUrl:/onedrive/conf/responseUrl" <---tried the same with double quotes as well like this in a separate run
      - --verbose
    volumes: 
      - /home/onedrive/conf:/onedrive/conf
      - /home/onedrive/data:/onedrive/data

networks:
  docker-network:
    external: true

I also have created two folders in my home dir: conf and data and two files inside conf: authUrl, responseUrl

When a new container is spun up without doing anything else , here is the console output :

onedrive  | usermod: no changes
onedrive  | Base Args: --monitor
onedrive  | # Launching onedrive
onedrive  | Using 'user' Config Dir: /home/onedrive/.config/onedrive
onedrive  | Using 'system' Config Dir: /etc/onedrive
onedrive  | No user or system config file found, using application defaults
onedrive  | Unrecognized option --auth-files /onedrive/conf/authUrl:/onedrive/conf/responseUrl
onedrive  | Try 'onedrive -h' for more information

I think the option may not get properly parsed or maybe I am missing something here ?

I think the option may not get properly parsed or maybe I am missing something here ?

As per the Docker documentation, to correctly use --auth-files you need to pass this in via a Docker environment variable - please see:

https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/Docker.md#environment-variables

So for your Docker compose file needs to be updated to something similar to below:

environment:
      - ONEDRIVE_UID=xxx
      - ONEDRIVE_GID=xxx
      - ONEDRIVE_VERBOSE=1
      - ONEDRIVE_AUTHFILES="/onedrive/conf/authUrl:/onedrive/conf/responseUrl"
    command:
      ....

thanks, I see it picks up the configuration now but I am not seeing the auth being written to file. here is the console output. the conf folder referenced here is the one inside the container, hope thats right?

onedrive  | # Launching onedrive
onedrive  | Using 'user' Config Dir: /home/onedrive/.config/onedrive
onedrive  | Using 'system' Config Dir: /etc/onedrive
onedrive  | No user or system config file found, using application defaults
onedrive  | Checking Application Version ...
onedrive  | Initializing the OneDrive API ...
onedrive  | Configuring Global Azure AD Endpoints
onedrive  | Using Curl defaults for all HTTP operations
onedrive  | Authorize this app visiting:
onedrive  |
onedrive  | https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize

You need to put your authentication result into your responseUrl file ..... this is a manual step - the application will not do this part manually as you need to login to the authurl, obtain the response authentication.

The application is waiting for the responseUrl to be present - it should not be present until you have obtained your authentication token.
