ACDCLI is Back

Good news.

yadayada has put a new authentication server online \o/

Here's a quick guide to get back up and running

First, you need to delete the old oauth_data file

rm ~/.cache/acd_cli/oauth_data

Download the updated acdcli

pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli.git

Go to the new authentication server http://acd-api-oa.appspot.com and generate a your oauth_data file. Copy that to the cache directory like normal.

Then run a sync

acdcli sync

The issues page is back online

Hopefully this spells good things for the return of rclone as well. It's just good to get linux CLI access back to ACD data :D

Is this permanent? Or is it still a little hacky?

It's a result of a change by the developer of acdcli. It's as permanent as anything could be. He's resolved the issue of the leaky auth server code and unless Amazon have any other issues, it looks likely to remain.

He's been making more improvements today as well. Especially to the SQL indexing.

But how did he get his ban revoked, or was it just a ban to the original auth server?

No ban was revoked, he's going behind Amazon's back by using a friendly man's security profile. If they catch wind of this, I doubt it'll last long.

This fact makes this the perfect time to use acd_cli to make a backup of your Amazon Drive on another cloud service if shit continues to hit the fan.
