rclone version (docker) about backrest HOT 4 OPEN

Hey, backrest bumps the rclone version with each new release (and uses the latest from the rclone apk on alpine Linux).

I haven’t cut a release in a bit so we’re lagging a bit behind but this is expected state; I aim to do releases infrequently (ideally monthly patch releases) in the fullness of time as backup software should aim to be stable without too much version churn.

If you need a specific rclone version I’d recommend a custom docker image on top of the published release

Hi, no worries, I can push an updated binary into the docker container.
But alpine may have been the issue in the build process. rclone v1.65-DEV is from 6 months ago and there have been plenty of updates afterwards, that didn't make it into the backrest docker container.

just shipped another version of backrest which should be using the latest from alpine, I think I'm going to resolve this as works as intended as the docker image aims to use alpine packages for all deps. Happy to switch to a more up to date alpine package though if there is one.

Hi, I pulled the 1.0.0 docker image for backrest and rclone is still at "v1.65.0-DEV". At the same time, pkgs.alpinelinux.org (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=rclone&branch=edge&repo=&arch=&maintainer=) shows "1.66.0-r2". I'm not sure I've done that right because I have too little experience with alpine and it's branches etc.

For the time being, I am happy adding the binary manually:

#!/bin/bash
docker compose up -d
DOCKERID=`docker ps | grep backrest | awk '{print $1}'`
# Execute commands inside the Docker container
docker exec $DOCKERID sh -c "cd /root && \
  wget -O rclone.zip https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases/download/v1.66.0/rclone-v1.66.0-linux-amd64.zip && \
  unzip -j -o rclone.zip && \
  ln -sf /root/rclone /usr/bin/rclone"
