export GOROOT=/usr/local/go

export GOPATH=$HOME/gosource ~/.profile

export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

• source ~/.profile
• // Check Go is installed correctly:

go version

Google Drive API configuration

• // Login to Google Developers and create a new project. Give it a name, for instance VestaCP-Gdrive-backup
• https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard
• // Enable Google Drive API and then click on Credentials
• https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/drive.googleapis.com
• // From the dropdown select Other UI and check User data
• // Click on "What credentials do I need?"
• // Give it a name, for instance VestaCP-Gdrive-backup and save

Handle existing gdrive installation

• // If old local gdrive installation exist:
• cd ~
• rm -r gdrive
• rm -r .gdrive
• rm /usr/local/bin/gdrive

Install gdrive app

• go get github.com/gdrive-org/gdrive
• // Change the Credentials from Google Drive API in the gdrive source code
• cd go/src/github.com/gdrive-org/gdrive/
• nano handlers_drive.go
• // On lines 17 and 18 change the credentials (ClientId and ClientSecret) with those created in Google Drive API
• const ClientId = "your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com"
• const ClientSecret = "your-client-secret"
• // Compile the executable by run go build in go/src/github.com/gdrive-org/gdrive/
• go build
• install gdrive /usr/local/bin/gdrive
• install gdrive ~/go/bin/gdrive
• // You’ll need to tell Google Drive to allow this program gdrive to connect to your account. To do this, run the gdrive program with any parameter and copy the text it gives you to your browser. Then paste in to your SSH window the response code that Google gives you. Run the following:
• /usr/local/bin/gdrive about
• // Follow the steps from the output

Create vestacp_gdrive_backup Bash script

• cd ~
• touch vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh
• chmod +x vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh
• nano vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh
• // Copy and paste in the script the content from here:
• https://github.com/grandeto/vestacp_gdrive_backup/blob/master/vestacp-gdrive-backup.sh
• // Following the example in vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh (lines 42-45), add a new function execution at the end of the vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh for every user you wish to backup in Google Drive.
• // This script will create a separate folder for every VestaCP user in /vestacp-gdrive-backups, will move the latest backup files from /backup to these separate folders and will remove the last backup file from every separate folder if the maximum backups count is exceeded

Google Drive post-configuration

• // Open the Google Drive account you just integrated with gdrive
• https://drive.google.com/drive/
• Create separate folders for every VestaCP user you wish to backup to Google Drive
• The name of each of these folders should be same as the name of the related VestaCP user you wish to backup to Google Drive

Add vestacp_gdrive_backup cron tasks

• // Open your VestCP admin dashboard and go to CRON section
• https://123.123.123.123:8083/list/cron/
• // Find the cron job named sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-backup-users
• // Then remember the execution time of this cron. For instance: 10 03 * * 1
• // Open cron tasks in your Linux machine
• crontab -e
• // Add a new cron task that will execute vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh after VestaCP backup cron task is finished. For instance:
• 10 4 * * 1 /root/vestacp_gdrive_backup.sh
• // Add a new Google Drive sync cron task for every VestaCP user you wish to backup in Google Drive. For instance:

#admin backup

15 4 * * 1 /usr/local/bin/gdrive sync upload --delete-extraneous /vestacp-empty-dir 146D974dy437dh7347778d378h34

20 4 * * 1 /usr/local/bin/gdrive sync upload --delete-extraneous /vestacp-gdrive-backups/admin 146D974dy437dh7347778d378h34

• // The first gdrive cron command will keep your Google Drive free space save by first deleting the old files by replacing them with an empty file ( from /vestacp-empty-dir/emptyfile.txt ) and then the second gdrive cron command will replace the empty file by uploading the latest backup files for the given VestaCP user
• // Replace 146D974dy437dh7347778d378h34 with your Google Drive folder ID.
• // You can find the IDs of your Google Drive folders by open a desired folder in browser and copy its ID from the last part of the URL http://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/146D974dy437dh7347778d378h34
