Backing up stuff to the cloud is all the rage, and I wanted to give it a try. Since I don’t really want to spend any money on it, I decided to go with the best free provider I could find. I haven’t done too much research, but MEGA’s 50 free GB seems to be the best offer around. They also have a simple CLI tool called megatools (manual). Since I couldn’t find megatools in the official debian repo, I decided to use it from docker....
