wdmc

The missing command line interface for Western Digital MyCloud NAS local REST API.

Installation

Since wdmc is not published to rubygems.org yet, by now you have to build yourself as follows:

# clone git repository
$ git clone git@github.com:okleinschmidt/wdmc.git

# enter wdmc source directory
$ cd wdmc

# to install run
$ bundle exec rake install
wdmc 0.0.1 built to pkg/wdmc-0.0.1.gem.
wdmc (0.0.1) installed.

Configuration

Create YAML file in your $HOME: ~/.wdmc.yml

url: http://192.168.0.10
username: admin
password: super-secure-password
validate_cert: true | false | warn (optional, default: true)
api_net_nl_bug: true | false (optional, default: false)

The value of validate_cert is relevant only for HTTPS URLs:

• If not specified or set to true, then an invalid certificate will cause the server connection to fail with an error message.
• If set to false, then certificate validation will not be performed.
• If set to warn, then an invalid certificate will cause a warning message to be emitted and for certificate validation to be deactivated for the remainder of the operation.

Set api_net_nl_bug to true to avoid crashes caused by newline characters in DNS server data in the API response from your server.

I gave admin permission to my user account:

$ wdmc user update <USER> -a
