ssb-exporter

Feed and blob exporter/importer for Scuttlebot. This can be used to create sneakernets.

Exports your whole feed and corresponding blobs to a directory. Or import / sync a local folder of messages and blobs.

Consists of the following files:

• export-data.js: exports your feed or a feed of your choice to a directory
• import-data.js: syncs a feed with a local folder, importing missing messages and blobs
• extract-mirrors.js: looks through your friends trying to find mirrors
• sync-mirrors.js: Uses extract-mirrors to find mirrors, followed by syncing all feeds locally

Furthermore this was a playground for alternative ways of mirroring content (static http) through bots.

How do you publish a mirror?

Currently work in progress, but the following command should publish a mirror to your feed:

sbot publish --type about --about '<YOUR-FEED-ID>' --mirror '<YOUR-MIRROR>'

I published my mirror using:

sbot publish --type about --about '@6CAxOI3f+LUOVrbAl0IemqiS7ATpQvr9Mdw9LC4+Uv0=.ed25519' --mirror 'http://26thfiwfn3i3wnrf.onion/ssb/messages.txt'

I use the following shell script to sync my feed to my mirror:

./export-data.js -e export
rsync -av -e ssh export/ pi:export
