DOGI

a Debian docker image that contain the following software packages: Drive OpenVPN and Get_Iplayer.

Problem Statement

You want to download a lot of iPlayer videos on to your server, but your server doesn't have enough space, but you happen to have a lot of space on your Google Drive. Your server does not have an UK-based IP address. You only have headless access to your server.

Solution

Run an interactive Debian Docker instance, run OpenVPN in that Docker instance, download videos using get_iplayer, push the videos to your Google Drive, then delete the video.

Implementation

1. Put your OpenVPN settings into the openvpn folder.
2. Set up Drive in the output folder.
3. Run run.sh to obtain an interactive shell.
4. Run /etc/init.d/openvpn start
5. get_iplayer is in /root.

• Note that if you don't create the openvpn and output folders, run.sh will create them for you. However, of course you still have to configure them manually.
• You have to comment the last line in get_iplayer_settings/options to enable automatic Google Drive uploading/deletion.
