TiddlySpace Backup script

Backup script for TiddlySpace (optionally run as an iron.io worker). Downloads the contents of a space (public and private bags), zips it up and stores the zip on S3 (optional). Can run as an iron.io worker.

Prerequisites

node (tested with v0.10.16)
npm (tested with v1.3.8)

Download the dependencies using npm install from the root folder.

Config file format

The config file format is the same whether the script is running locally or as an IronWorker. Create a file called config.json and either follow the format below or copy config-sample.json.

{
    "username": "jonny", // TiddlySpace username that has permission to access the private bags of the space(s) you want to archive
    "password": "biggs123", // TiddlySpace password
    "bags": ["mySpace_public", "mySpace_private"], // an array of TiddlySpace bags to archive
    "s3_api_key": "5Ample5Ample5Ample", // S3 API key / access key
    "s3_api_secret": "n0nsensen0nsensen0nsense" // S3 secret
}

Usage as a local script

node app.js

Usage as an IronWorker script

You need to have iron_worker installed locally and an iron.json file with your credentials in it. See the iron.io Node.js documentation for setup details.

Testing locally:

iron_worker run backup --worker-config config.json

Uploading to IronWorker:

iron_worker upload backup --worker-config config.json
