[BUG]. After install and username/password- I just get continuous 2FA popups per 10 mins.

[bmpreston]

Describe the bug Cannot initiate the downloads to backup my iCloud drive.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install
2. Authenticate with the bash command line; enter my password
3. Insert 2FA code
4. Wait 10 minutes for the next code popup.

Expected behavior Download should initiate into the folder specified.

Running on unraid 6.11.5

It seems that 2FA authentication isn't sticking. Are you using persistent storage for session directory?

[bmpreston]

Both directories for the config and the data are on the /mnt drive. Not sure what else you might be asking about. Thanks!

[mandarons]

As shown in docker-compose, try mounting /app/session_data from the container as well.

When you authenticate using command line, pass the --session-directory=/app/session_data parameter authentication-required-after-container-creation-or-authentication-expiration.

Ok, I mounted a /app/session_data and the following is where I am. Logs show this:

My Config.yaml is:

Any additional help here?

[mandarons]

Run following command and when it asks for storing the password in keyring, say yes... docker exec -it icloud /bin/sh -c "icloud --username=<icloud-username> --session-directory=/app/session_data"

[bmpreston]

I did say yes, just keeps cycling. For some reason, it doesn't seem to like this program.

Thanks!
