Setup

INFO

In the future, ortfo/db might support configuring the remotes by itself

  1. Install rclone from rclone.org
  2. Configure a remote with rclone config
  3. Keep in mind the name you gave to the remote, you'll need it later

Configuration

yaml
exporters:
  cloud:
    # Path to the folder where you want to upload the database.json file
    path: projects/
    # Filename to copy in the folder as (no renaming by default)
    name: my_database.json
    # Name of the rclone remote(s)
    # This is a list because you can tell ortfo/db to upload to multiple rclone remotes in one go.
    remotes: [my_remote]

Web servers

SSH

You can upload the database file to a server via SSH using the ssh exporter.

Configuration

yaml
exporters:
  ssh:
    ssh: user@host:/path/to/database.json
    rsync: true # true to use rsync, false to use scp

(S)FTP

The ftp exporter allows you to upload the generated database.json file to a remote server using the FTP protocol (or SFTP) protocol.

Configuration

yaml
exporters:
  ftp:
    username: your username
    password: your password
    host: the host of the server
    path: the path to where the file should be uploaded
    secure: true # true to use SFTP, false to use FTP

Git repositories

Use the git exporter

Configuration

yaml
exporters:
  git:
    # URL to the Git repository
    url:

    # Commit message used
    commit:

    # Where to copy the database.json file in the repository
    path: database.json

    # Additional flags to pass to git commit
    git_commit_flags: ""

    # Additional flags to pass to git push
    git_push_flags: ""

    # Additional flags to pass to git clone
