Download your backups automatically.

You need python 3.6 with pip. Install it on ubuntu with: sudo apt install python3.7 python3-pip

# The path of the config file
# Default: config.json
BACKUPER_CONFIG_PATH=/the/path/of/the/config/file.json
# The datetime format of the filename, see here: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/datetime/strftime
# WARNING: The datetime format must not contain '_' otherwise the app would crash.
BACKUPER_FILE_DATETIME_FORMAT=%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S
# The level of the logging service (python logging module).
# The level can be: CRITICAL, FATAL, ERROR, WARN, WARNING, INFO or DEBUG
BACKUPER_LOGGING_LEVEL=INFO

The config file should have the json format.

{
  "receiver": {
    "file": "https://the.url.of.the/downloading_file.bin",
    "file_hash": "https://the.url.of.the/downloading_file.bin.sha256sum",
    "hash_algorithm": "sha256",
    "auth": {
      "http_auth": {
        "username": "the username",
        "password": "the password"
      },
      "client_certificate": {
        "cert": "the/path/of/the/client/certificate/cert.pem",
        "key": "the/path/of/the/client/certificate/privkey.key",
      },
      "get_parameters": {

  }
}

Please remove all parts of the file, that you are not using, otherwise the application would bring an error. So if you are not using the client_certificate authentication or other things remove it.

When you start the app, the app does make a request to the file_hash uri and will compare the hash with the hash of the current backup file. If the hashes are different, the app will download the new backup file (file uri) in the data directory. The filename would have the following syntax: {6-digit-number}_%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M-%S_backup_{real_file_name}.
The file does have the suffix .not.verified. When the download is finished and file hash check is successful the suffix will be removed.

You can open a Issue, when you have a problem or an idea. Please describe all things detailed.
