kiwix-uploader 1.4

SCP/SFTP helper for Kiwix, openZIM and offspot uploads to our dropbox

uploader

Dedicated container/script to upload files to openzim/kiwix warehouses and S3

Files are uploaded via SFTP (pubkey authentication) or SCP using OpenSSH.

Usage

• Specify file to upload with --file.
• Mount the RSA private key onto /etc/ssh/keys/id_rsa or use --private_key
• Use an scp:// or sftp:// URI to specify target.
• Specify a full path (with filename) to upload to a specific name or end with a / for uploading inside a folder

docker run \
    -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/etc/ssh/keys/id_rsa:ro \
    -v /path/:/path:rw \
    ghcr.io/openzim/uploader \
    uploader \
    --file /path/my_file.zim \
    --upload-uri sftp://[e-mail]/zim/ \
    --move \
    --delete

Parameters

• --username: if your URI has no username, you can specify it here.
• --move: upload to a temporary filename (<fname>.tmp) and rename it upon completion. Note that SCP is not able to do it so it uploads an <fname>.complete file upon completion instead.
• --delete: delete source file once uploaded successfuly.
• --compress: enable transfer compression.
• --bandwidth: enable bandwidth limit. Set it in Kbps.
• --cipher: change default cipher (aes128-ctr).
• --resume: resume partially uploaded file (SFTP only)

pip3 install kiwix_uploader[all]

check_and_upload_file(
    src_path="/path/my_file.zim",
    upload_uri="sftp://[e-mail]/zim/",
    private_key="~/.ssh/id_rsa",
)

Note: check_and_upload_file returns an unix-like returncode (0 on success)
