Does duplicacy work on Debian Etch?
If you are wondering: who on earth uses Debian Etch, well, it's what older ReadyNAS devices run on (rebranded as RAIDiator OS).
Of duplicacy doesn't mind that old environment, how do I install it there?

You can try the two linux binaries from https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases. If neither works, then your only option would be to install go on ReadyNAS and try to build from source there.

Wow, who would have thought that: it works just fine!
I had to figure out what to do with the binary once I downloaded them. For many this will be trivial, but for those like me who are also more at home on Windows, here is what I did to get this to work (no guarantee, though, that it will work for you or that I did some "uncool" or even wrong stuff):
wget https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases/download/v2.0.10/duplicacy_linux_i386_2.0.10
(replace url with whichever version you want)
Then move the binary to a place that is included in your $PATH, and while you're at it, you might as well rename it:
mv duplicacy_linux_i386_2.0.10 /usr/local/bin/duplicacy
make it executable:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/duplicacy
try it:
duplicacy help
If it works: good. If it doesn't: I have no idea why.

If duplicacy help runs then the binary is good. You may run into https connection issues if you're using some cloud storage backends and it couldn't find the root certificates. If so, install root CA certificates under /etc/ssl/certs/.

Good point! But before I can use a cloud backend, duplicacy needs to support webdav (or Pcloud). Is it anywhere on the roadmap?

I'll work on a openstack swift storage backend next week, and webdav will be the next. You can subscribe to this github issue to get updates.

I see the openstack swift storage backend has been implemented,
webdav will be the next
Any news regarding webdav? Can we expect it within the next month or so?
gchen Feb 24 11:41AM 2018
Yes, should be ready in next month. I plan to work on it after the 2.1.0 release is officially out.
