uploader

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

Files are uploaded via SFTP or SCP using OpenSSH and (pubkey authentication). Files are uploaded to S3 assuming bucketName, keyId and secretAccessKey in query string.

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://, sftp://, s3:// URLs 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://uploader@warehouse.farm.openzim.org/zim/ \
    --upload-uri "s3://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/?bucketName=my-bucket&keyId=my-key&secretAccessKey=my-secret" \
    --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)
