Automated config backup

[Simon Cox]

Below is a short script that allows you to automate the backup the config of your Jam.py app.

It is not sufficient simply to back-up your database if you want to restore from a complete failure.

Hope this is useful to someone

import requests

import json

import os

# change these variables (or better yet, store in a config file ;-)

login = "admin"

password = "superstrongpassword"

url = 'http://my.jam-py.app'

downloadfolder = r'C:\Config backups'

session = requests.Session()

data = json.dumps(["login",0,0,[login,password],time.time()*1000])

headers = {

   'Content-Type' : 'application-json'

}

r = session.post(url + '/api', data=data, headers=headers)

data = json.dumps(["server",0,0,["server_export_task",[1,url]],time.time()*1000])

r = session.post(url + '/api', data=data)

pth = r.json()['result']['data'][0]

r = session.get(pth)

open(os.path.join(downloadfolder, os.path.basename(pth)), 'wb').write(r.content)

Cheers mate

I tried and missing a few dependencies for python3:

pip install jsonlib-python3

but

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "backup.py", line 24, in <module>

data = json.dumps(["login",0,0,[login,password],time.time()*1000])

NameError: name 'time' is not defined

Any suggestion for that one?

Figured,

"import time" was missing :)

Awesome work, thanks!
