Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Open source encrypted IPFS backup service.

Requirements

  • Moralis server - https://moralis.io/
  • Email account (currently only gmail is supported)
  • Node.js
  • npm (Node.js package manager)
npm install -g ipfs-backup

Usage

Run the backup service:

npx ipfs-backup -a MORALIS_APP_ID -s MORALIS_SERVER_URL -k MORALIS_MASTER_KEY -f BACKUP_FREQUENCY -d DIRECTORY -e EMAIL -p PASSWORD

Arguments:

  • MORALIS_APP_ID -a
    • The app ID of your Moralis server.
  • MORALIS_SERVER_URL -s
    • The URL of your Moralis server.
  • MORALIS_MASTER_KEY -k
    • The master key of your Moralis server.
  • BACKUP_FREQUENCY -f
    • The period of time in between backups in hours.
  • DIRECTORY -d
    • The path to a directory you wish to backup.
  • EMAIL -e
    • Your email address (must be a gmail account).
  • PASSWORD -p
    • The password to your email account.

Restore a backup:

npx ipfs-restore -h BACKUP_HASH -p DESTINATION_PATH -k EMAIL_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY

Arguments:

  • BACKUP_HASH -h
    • The IPFS content hash of the backup you wish to restore.
  • DESTINATION_PATH -p
    • The path that you wish the restored file to be saved.
  • EMAIL_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY -k
    • The password to your email account; this is used to encrypt and decrypt your data.

Description

This is an open source command line utility package that allows you backup a directory to IPFS, using a free Moralis server. Data is encrypted and decrypted using the provided email password as a private key, and each time the system performs a backup it will email you with a link to the IPFS content, as well as a BACKUP_HASH which you can use to download and decrypt a backup. This means that you can retain backups of directories for no cost, thanks to IPFS and the free tier of Moralis.

Release Notes

1.0.2-beta

  • Supports encrypting and syncing a single directory
  • BACKUP_FREQUENCY does not do anything as the script will currently just run the backup once, a future release will include automatic backups at the provided interval times
  • EMAIL only supports gmail accounts in this release
  • Your email account may block the script from logging into your account, you will need to allow it access
