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 🙏

Readme

knorke

A simple script for backing up a MongoDB and/or Mysql database to a Samba share. Uses the system's mongodump, mysqldump and smbclient binaries.

For proper ways to handle backups of production systems please read the MongoDB and MySQL documentation.

Configuration

This script uses node-config for configuration. A full config may look like this:

{
    "binaries": {
        // Path to the binaries to execute (use null for autodetection)
        "mongo": "/Users/peter/mongodb/mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.2.1/bin",
        "mongodump": "/Users/peter/mongodb/mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.2.1/bin",
        "mysqldump": null,
        "smbclient": null
    },
    "samba": {
        "service": "\\\\\\\\MyServer\\\\myshare",
        "workgroup": "acme.corp",
        "directory": "my_dir/foo",
        "username": "peter",
        "password": "gr1ff1n"
    },
    "mongo": {
        "username": null,
        "password": null,
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 27017,
        "ignore": ["test", "prod_old"]
    },
    "mysql": {
        "username": "root",
        "password": null,
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 3306
    }
}

Usage

Run the script with --help to het a list of available options:

Help output

If you run into errors crank up the verbosity and check the actual command lines run by the script (--verbose --verbose --error-details).

Caveats

  • Most config options are used verbatim when executing shell commands. Do not pass unsanitized user input to this script. You have been warned!
  • Careful: debugging output may contain passwords.
  • Intended use is for a single-instance MongoDB. Running the script against a cluster is probably not going to work.

Gotchas

  • Remember to enable the --harmony-destructuring V8-flag.
  • SMB upload requires smbclient, so good luck using it on OS X.
  • The Samba service config option must use an obscene amount of backslashes, e.g. "\\\\\\\\MyServer\\\\share".
