How Should Multiple Libraries be handled

[gabriel-vanzandycke]

First-of-all: thank you for this awesome software!

I tested docker icloudpd/icloudpd:latest on my OMV NAS to backup my photos library, and I would like to receive guidance on how to best handle multiple libraries to backup my shared library as well as my family members libraries.

From reading the documentation, it seems only one library can be used by icloudpd.

What would be the recommended way to backup the different libraries from the same user ? Is it possible to have the command icloudpd relaunched with a rotating list of libraries within the container ?

For the other users libraries, is there no better option than running one container per user ?

Thanks

You are right, to download assets using different configurations (accounts, libraries etc) one has to use multiple icloudpd runs (sequential or concurrent)

Are there plans on handling both personal and shared libraries from a single call to icloudpd ?
I see there's a single library_object = icloud.photos.libraries[library] but we could naively iterate through a list of library_objects. Who is best placed to make such decision?

I do not have immediate plans to support multiple accounts/albums/libraries/etc.

Who is best placed to make such decision?

Since we identified the need, next step is to get commitment for the implementation. Then we can discuss smaller pieces as RFCs and/or PRs.
