Cannot run icloudpd.py on DSM 7 about icloud_photo_station HOT 3 CLOSED

I'm not sure if this package is still maintained, but I had the same issue. As the error trace suggests, the issue appears to be installing the 'backports.zoneinfo' package. It turns out this isn't required in python 3.9, so my workaround was:

1. Install the Python 3.9 package in package manager
2. Create a Python 3.9 virtual environment in the '/volume1/@appstore/icloud_photo_station' folder.
3. Manually install the packages from requirements.txt in this venv

Running icloudpd.py within the new Python 3.9 venv works perfectly for me.

from icloud_photo_station.

Just wanted to add some detail. Mostly so I can remember it the next time...! :)

1. install Python 3.9 (from the Synology Package Station)

2. install icloud_photo_station-0.3.0.spk package manually from skarppi / icloud_photo_station

3. ssh into the Synology box

4. change ownership of the folder:
   sudo chown -R icloud_photo_station:users /volume1/\@appstore/icloud_photo_station/

5. change into the folder:
   cd /volume1/\@appstore/icloud_photo_station

6. recursively fix permissions of folders and files:
   sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

7. move the old environment:
   mv env env.old

8. make a new environment with Python3.9:
   /volume1/\@appstore/Python3.9/usr/bin/python -m venv env

9. change into the environment:
   source /volume1/\@appstore/icloud_photo_station/env/bin/activate

10. get the dependencies list:
    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skarppi/icloud_photo_station/master/requirements.txt

11. install the dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt

12. test and activate 2FA:
    python /volume1/\@appstore/icloud_photo_station/app/icloudpd.py --list-albums

13. deactivate the environment:
    deactivate

Now should work from the Synology Scheduler ... :)

It may be useful to have a script in your home folder to trigger 2FA when needed (edit for your login details):

Install 'SynoCLI File Tools' for nano editor, then: nano ~/trigger2FA.sh, paste:

#!/bin/bash
source /volume1/@appstore/icloud_photo_station/env/bin/activate
python /volume1/@appstore/icloud_photo_station/app/icloudpd.py \
  --username '<YOUR ICLOUD USERNAME>' \
  --password '<YOUR ICLOUD PASSWORD>' \
  --list-albums

Change the permissions:chmod 700 ~/trigger2FA.sh

Run: ~/trigger2FA.sh
