Has anyone seen any suggestion that it might be possible to run "iCloud for Linux" in a docker container rather than needing to be done in a VM?   

 

The closest I have seen so far is a container that gives partial integration with iCloud Drive rather than the more complete integration given by "iCloud for Linux".   

 

If there is a suitable base container to which it could be added I might try to do it myself but not sure if so what base container I should use.

 

I suspect if not possible that it might be because of the requirements around GUI support but thought it worth asking as it would be a great application to have in a container.  

Would be interesting, I have played with the idea to upload my flash backup to the cloud.

 

What I came up with after a quick search:

There already is a project to have a running desktop environment in Docker: dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc. It is based on a lightweight X11 environment, so maybe it is enough for iCloud for Linux, which requires an X11 server. I bet stuff like login can't be automated (and to be fair, I wouldn't want to have my Apple credentials in some config file), because of 2FA. That would have to be done manually. I also don't think it not worth for more than iCloud drive, I would guess everything else is in some way encrypted or in an inaccessible format.

 

I have a long weekend coming ahead, maybe I will play with it

Hi. I'm looking to replace mandarons' "icloud-docker" container. Were you able to achieve any success with this one?

I use photoprism and photo sync for this purpose.

Nextcloud potential -- I moved off of this for easier management as I only wanted to file copy backup and have a auto sync from iphone and android...

You can take a look at:
https://github.com/mandarons/icloud-docker

docker compose plugin...
 

Any update on this and what are the limitations of mandaron’s docker?

Any thoughts?
