$ show jcwillox/hassio-rclone-backup
This is a Home Assistant add-on that provides automated backup functionality using rclone. The system consists of a Go-based scheduler that runs configured backup jobs (sync, copy, move, delete) against local paths and remote storage services. It features dual services: a scheduler for executing backup jobs and an rclone web GUI for remote configuration. The addon integrates with Home Assistant's event system to report job success/failure and handles backup file naming conventions specific to Home Assistant's backup format. Configuration is managed through Home Assistant's add-on system with options stored in /data/options.json.
The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Contains reusable utility functions including FormatDuration for human-readable time formatting, FlagMapToList for converting map-based flags to CLI arguments (handles edge cases like quoting and boolean values), GetRcloneRemotes for executing and parsing rclone listremotes output, and ReplaceUnderscores for deduplicating underscores in strings. Demonstrates solid Go practices in error handling, process execution, and string manipulation.
Implements a clean pattern for firing events to Home Assistant's Supervisor API. Shows proper HTTP client usage with bearer token authentication, JSON marshaling, status code checking, and error handling. The module is isolated (only depends on standard library and os/env) and could be extracted for use in any Go application needing to integrate with Home Assistant's event system.
Provides a colorized logging utility with configurable log levels (debug, info, warn, error, fatal). Uses the emerald library for ANSI color codes but wraps it in a clean interface with timestamped output and log level filtering. Demonstrates good practices in logger abstraction, formatted timestamps, and level-based logging that could be reused in any Go CLI application.
