Google Drive OAuth has the highest priority and will always be used if setup. OAuth is the only method to access and list private files. You must set up google drive OAuth within NUT, and then connect Tinfoil to NUT via network or USB to transfer the OAuth token(s).

r/SwitchPirates on Reddit: I can't get tinfoil to show any games when using nut server locally
June 23, 2022 -

I installed nut https://github.com/blawar/nut and added a couple of nsp games and they show up in the files list after a scan. I can even open up the server in chrome via http and it shows the games in the list.

But when I attempt to view the games in tinfoil, it just takes a long time to load and then shows nothing in the list.

I added the nut server protocol as nutfs (vs https, gdrive etc).

I'm running on linux (ubuntu 20) and followed the instructions here: https://github.com/blawar/nut#installation-guide-linux

With Synology you can self host your own NUT server. I found a very efficient NUT server that uses 96% less RAM than others and it works quite well.

If you are good with command line, create run.sh and put below:

#!/bin/bash
docker run -d --name=tinfoil-hat -e AUTH_USERS=USER:PASS -p 8465:80 -v /path/to/games:/games vinicioslc/tinfoil-hat:latest

Replace USER, PASS and path with your own. If you don't want authentication just remove the AUTH_USERS.

If you use Container Manager, search for vinicioslc/tinfoil-hat, and setup as parameter as above.

Hope it helps.

r/SwitchPirates on Reddit: Tinfoil NUT Server and super slow USB install
July 14, 2020 -

I'm using NUT server from Tinfoil to install NSP files directly now instead of dealing with downloading them, but the install speeds are like 1.3 MB/s and not the 35 MB/s as advertised. What am i doing wrong? I'm using a USB 3.0 port. new USB cable. is it a setting or something? Using NUT 2.5 and Tinfoil 8.1.0. Connecting over usbfs

Requires SX OS 2.2.1+. Attach the hard drive before you launch Tinfoil. Tinfoil will automatically scan the root directory, any subdirectories must be added to locations.conf. Does not currently support hot swap. Requires a configured nut server.

r/SwitchPirates on Reddit: Tinfoil NUT-server - Ständigt fast eller oanvändbar
July 15, 2020 -

Så jag har Tinfoil 8.1 installerat med de senaste drivrutinerna, men varje gång jag startar Tinfoil och sedan NUT, fastnar jag antingen på (1) "Laddar USB-filer" eller, om det fungerar och jag får åtkomst till min USBFS-plats på min dator där mina NSP-filer finns, fryser Tinfoil och NUT efter att jag klickar på "installera NSP". Det händer helt enkelt ingenting. NUT visar att data läses, men installationen stannar på 0 %. Det fungerade för två spel och nu är det trasigt.

Vad i hela friden gör jag för fel?
