Get ready

This action uses skicka for uploading to Google Drive. You need to generate token and register it with GitHub secrets.

How to generate token

Users already using skicka

In your GitHub repository → Settings → Secrets, register by entering SKICKA_TOKENCACHE_JSON for name and the content of ~/.skicka.tokencache.json for value.

Users who have never used skicka

1. Setup Docker and execute following command.

   docker run --rm -it --entrypoint "" satackey/skicka sh -c "skicka -no-browser-auth ls && cat /root/.skicka.tokencache.json"

2. Access the URL showed in the output

3. Grant access, paste code showed in the browser into the terminal.

4. In your GitHub repository → Settings → Secrets, register by entering SKICKA_TOKENCACHE_JSON for name and the content of ~/.skicka.tokencache.json for value.

   {"ClientId":"xxx-xxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com","access_token":"xxxx.xx-xxxxxxxxx","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"x//xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx","expiry":"2020-01-03T06:11:01.3298117Z"}

Troubleshooting of sign in

As of Jan. 2, 2020, for the accounts that sign in to skicka for the first time, may have a problem of being displayed as Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app. The workaround is to set up the Google Drive API client ID and secret, and set them in skicka.

Follow this article (japanese only) to set up a client ID and secret. See translated by Google

Replace xxxx-your-google-client-id-xx.googleusercontent.com and xxx_yourGoogleClientSecret_xxxx, run the following command.

$ docker run -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=xxxx-your-google-client-id-xx.googleusercontent.com -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx_yourGoogleClientSecret_xxxx --rm -it --entrypoint "ash" satackey/skicka

When the container starts, run the following command.

# sed -i -e "s/;clientid=YOUR_GOOGLE_APP_CLIENT_ID/clientid=$GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/" ~/.skicka.config && sed -i -e "s/;clientsecret=YOUR_GOOGLE_APP_SECRET/clientsecret=$GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET/" ~/.skicka.config && skicka -no-browser-auth ls && cat /root/.skicka.tokencache.json

Return to step 2 and proceed, and similarly register your client ID and secret to the GitHub secret.
