offload

Offload your Glitch project's data to an external cloud (see compatible cloud storage systems).

Installation

Install offload with the following command (can be used by clicking the Tools menu at the bottom of the Glitch project editor, clicking Logs, clicking Console, and typing the command and pressing ENTER.):

npm install glitch-offload

Setup

Click the Tools menu at the bottom of the Glitch project editor, click Logs, Console, then type in the following command, press enter, and follow the instructions that show up.

/app/rclone/rclone config create && refresh

Usage

First, make sure you've completed the steps above. In your project, import glitch-offload somewhere in a Node.js file (i.e. index.js), then make sure that all references to data point to /tmp/offload. Copy the data to /tmp/offload. Use your cloud provider's website or client (best option for this is usually their website) to see if the files have synced to the folder you specified earlier. Also, check if your project still works. Refresh with the command refresh in the console (Bottom Menu/Tools/Logs/Console) and see if your project still works. If everything worked out, it should now be safe to remove the data where it was stored before (i.e. .data). Note that your project data is pulled all at once on project startup.
