When I run restic from a commandline with sudo it is actually able to backup my Photos library. But this is probably because I have given Terminal full disk access.
I am actually starting restic from a script of my own. But it works fine.
I also have created a launchd schedule. But when it runs from there, I get these permissions errors, like:
scan: open /Users/gerben/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary: operation not permitted
The launchd plist contains:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/opt/local/etc/restic/rna-run-restic.sh</string>
That script, which is multi-system, so can run on macOS and on Linux with docker, starts with
#!/bin/bash
# R&A restic interface script
# Make shure we're running bash >4
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# Extract the major version number (first number) of BASH_VERSION
major_version="${BASH_VERSION%%.*}"
# Check if the major version is less than 5
if [ "$major_version" -lt 5 ]; then
# Re-execute the script with /opt/local/bin/bash
exec "/opt/local/bin/bash" "$0" "$@"
fi
else
# Re-execute the script with /opt/local/bin/bash
exec "/opt/local/bin/bash" "$0" "$@"
fi
And at some point on macOS, this launches /opt/local/bin/restic (installed by MacPorts) with the correct arguments, e.g. something like:
/opt/local/bin/restic --verbose -p -passwd.txt -r rest:https://fqdn:port/ backup --host foo --tag pictures --files-from /opt/local/etc/restic/etc/foo-includes-pictures.txt
But while from Terminal, I can run that backup, I cannot from launchd. How do I fix that?
