Export chats and files from the XMPP client Dino into a plain-text format.
$ ./dino-chat-export /tmp/xmpp-archive/
This script's only non-base requirement is sqlite3.
It takes one argument, the output directory. The output tree ends up looking something like this:
$ tree /tmp/xmpp-archive/
/tmp/xmpp-archive/
└── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
│ ├── files
│ │ ├── sldfj_some_attached_file.pdf
│ │ ├── their_avatar.png
│ │ └── your_avatar.png
│ └── messages.txt
├── [email protected]
│ ├── files
│ │ ├── their_avatar.png
│ │ └── your_avatar.png
│ └── messages.txt
By default, each message is output in YYYY-MM-DD <$user> $message format, but you can customize
the output of this script with environment variables.
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
$DINO_HOME |
Dino data directory | ~/.local/share/Dino |
$MESSAGE_HEADER |
Text preceding each message file, with basic substitutions. | <html><title>THEIR_JID</title><body> |
| Substitutions: THEIR_JID, YOUR_JID, THEIR_NICK, YOUR_NICK | ||
$MESSAGE_FOOTER |
Likewise, but is output to the end of each message file. | </body></html> |
$MESSAGE_FORMAT |
Template for message output, in a printf style. | [%s] <%s>: %s |
$MESSAGE_SLOTS |
Comma-delimited arguments for $MESSAGE_FORMAT | DATE,JID,BODY |
| Valid slots: AVATAR, BODY, DATE, JID | ||
$IMAGE_FORMAT |
Format for message-bodies containing an image. | <img src="%s" /> |
$FILE_FORMAT |
Same as $IMAGE_FORMAT, but for non-image files. |
<a href src="%s">Uploaded file</a> |
Here are some environment variables you can use to get rudimentary, unstyled HTML output:
$ export MESSAGE_FORMAT='<div class='message'><datetime>%s</datetime> <img class='avatar' src="%s" /> <b>%s</b> — <p>%s</p></div>'
MESSAGE_SLOTS='DATE,AVATAR,JID,BODY'
MESSAGE_HEADER='<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Conversation with THEIR_JID - YOUR_JID</title><
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css" />
</head>
<body>'
MESSAGE_FOOTER='</body>
</html>'
IMAGE_FORMAT='<img src="%s" />'
FILE_FORMAT='<a href="%s" />%s</a>'
