This PR adds an MSI property that can be set with `NOSCRIPT=true`.
Setting the property will disable scripting in the MSI and thus prevent starting/stopping running services.
Also made the stop-service script non-critial, so it is possible to install the MSI even if the script fails to start or returns an error.
This PR adds detection of the MacOS Photos folder, and intercepts reads and replaces them with PhotoKit calls.
With this, it is possible to make backups of all MacOS Photos, even if they are not stored locally.
The previous versions would just make a backup of the on-disk structure, which was not guaranteed to contain all photos, but instead has various indexing for finding photos, and may contain some original photos.
The option `--photos-handling` controls how Duplicati now deals with the Photos folder. The options are:
- `LibraryOnly`: Same as before, just treat it as a folder
- `PhotosOnly`: Ignore the folder contents and just back up the actual photos
- `PhotosAndLibrary` (default): Make a backup of the photos and the library on-disk. This may cause images to be stored twice, but de-duplication will usually limit the storage increase.
The option `--photos-library-path` can be used to point to the on-disk Photo library that should be handled, in case the auto-detection does not pick it up. If this does not point to a valid Photoslibrary, or the path is not being backed up, no special handling will be done.
Note that the restore is not restoring into Photos itself, but instead restores into a sub-folder in the Photolibrary that is called `dup_backup`. To get the photos out after a restore, one needs to right-click the Photolibrary folder, and choose "Show package contents" and then the `dup_backup` folder is revealed.
This is done to keep all photos in the same folder, but avoid messing with the structure of the on-disk Photolibrary.
A future update could allow restoring back into Photos, and metadata is captured for each image to eventually allow this.
This fixes#6381
Since .NET dynamically loads libicu, it is not prone to ABI breakage and can load virtually any version.
However, there is no `Depends: libicu*` option in Debian packages, so we need the explicit package version. This is prone to breaking as new Debian version bump the version number.
This PR changes the `Depends:` to `Recommends:` so `libicu` is installed if possible, but does not prevent installation.
For cases where the is no `libicu` on the system, there is now a `preinst` script which will warn if the library is missing, but not prevent installation.
The warning should only show in Docker images or similar slim contexts, as `libicu` is otherwise installed with the base system.
This updates Docker images to support UID/GID overrides, faling back to running as root.
This also fixes the images to be actually allow executing the binaries as described in the README by adding them to the PATH environment variable.
The README file was overhauled to fix some outdated content and include the new UID/GID override feature.
This updates VSS to default use Vanara in favor of AlphaVSS which is no longer maintained.
The build for Vanara requires targeting `net8.0-windows7.0`, which will cause significant build overhead and complexity for cross platform builds.
To counter this, the setup is to have a single project, `Duplicati.Library.WindowsModules`, that is targeting `net8.0-windows7.0`.
The output from this project is then hoisted into the TrayIcon project for Windows builds so the files are available when debugging on Windows.
A top-level dummy executable project is added to ensure the project always builds.
The built modules are then loaded with reflection when requested.
With the use of Vanara there is now also support for using BackupRead to read files without making a VSS snapshot.
With BackupRead, it is possible to read locked files, but it still requires the SeBackupPrivilege as VSS does as well.
Unfortunately, the `vssapi.dll` file is not shipped for Arm64 on Windows, so even with Vanara this will not work, and only WMIC is supported on Arm64.
A workaround is to run Duplicati with x64 emulation if more advanced VSS features are needed (HyperV and MSSQL support).
This PR also updates options and filters out unsupported options for each operating system, so options that are not supported by the current OS are not reported and will give warnings if they are used, as opposed to just being ignored.
The release builder project has been updated to exclude the unused project, and purge unwanted outputs.
