all goes well until Execute

[Heiko910]

Hi there, I am stuck, I managed to follow the wiki, create a repository, a token, install moonraker support, initialize the Github repository, I was going to open the .env file but there was only a .env.example file. I went ahead and created a .env file and used the example as a template. I configured everything in this new .env file with proper path of all my config files.

Did I mention that I installed it not on a raspberry pi but on a inovato quadra. I corrected all the file path to the correct directories.

This here is what I am getting when I execute ~/klipper-backup/script.sh

~/klipper-backup/script.sh grep: /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env: No such file or directory grep: /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env: No such file or directory grep: /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env: No such file or directory grep: /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env: No such file or directory grep: /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env: No such file or directory Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.git/ WARNING: git-filter-branch has a glut of gotchas generating mangled history rewrites.

Any help would be appreciated

[Staubgeborener]

Could you please show me the output of these two commands: ls -la /home/quadra/klipper-backup/ cat /home/quadra/klipper-backup/.env (hide your credentials/token) cat /home/quadra/klipper-backup/version

[Heiko910]

I will get you that information when I get home tonight. I am usually able to VPN into my home network but last night I turn the printer including the inovato quadra off.

[Heiko910]

Her is #1 ls -la /home/quadra/klipper-backup/ total 44 drwxr-xr-x 4 quadra quadra 4096 Oct 10 23:17 . drwxr-xr-x 41 quadra quadra 4096 Oct 12 00:17 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 1327 Oct 10 23:16 .env -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 980 Oct 10 23:17 .env.example drwxr-xr-x 8 quadra quadra 4096 Oct 12 22:13 .git drwxr-xr-x 3 quadra quadra 4096 Oct 10 23:15 .github -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 17 Oct 10 23:15 .gitignore -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 2164 Oct 10 23:15 install.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 432 Oct 10 23:15 README.md -rwxr-xr-x 1 quadra quadra 1251 Oct 10 23:15 script.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 quadra quadra 5 Oct 10 23:15 version

back up whole folder syntax:

path_klipperdata=/home/quadra/printer_data/

backup_folder=klipper

and here is #3 0.3.6

BTW I think it is now all working. A reboot of the quadra machine and a restart of klipper and the update function in klipper seems to be working. I checked and all the config files that I configured in the .env file are now actually being backed up.

As i mentioned initially there was no .env file but a .env.example. I just edited it and renamed it to just .env. I hope that is what needed to happen.

Please let me know if you see anything that is out of the ordinarry. Thanks Heiko

[Staubgeborener]

Good to hear. Your .env file looks correct for me.

But weird that you don't get a .env file. Normally, the installation process should create one. As a one last step (just to handle this .env problem), could explain exactly step by step how you have done this? Please don't answer with "i followed the wiki". For example you can simply give me the relevant output of history.

Btw, please use the markdown syntax for easier readability. You can put your codes into ` like this or with hightling syntax

#this is
"my"
code

[Heiko910]

I don't know where to find the relevant history. This was my first time doing anything on a GitHub account and I literally followed your installation procedure. The changes to the configuration from pi to quadra were all after the fact. The markdown syntax is also completely new to me. I would have to read up on that first Sorry, nooby here.

Just type history in your terminal. This will output your last entered commands from the current user. You should see all commands from the installation procedure.

[Staubgeborener]

This is why I said "[...] the relevant output [...]". Maybe you want to consider deleting this post as you leaked your token, private email, etc. GitHub also does make a "post history", so you can also see after editing what the user posted/edited (your token for example).

So directly change the token I would say.

[Heiko910]

I already changed my access token. But, yes, I guess this just above my head. It isn't working. I followed the last step in the wiki to execute the script and to add the macro to be able execute the script from within mainsail but now I get another error message in mainsail.

[Staubgeborener]

The message in mainsail regarding updates corresponds to this issue. TLTR: You should be able to use this script for backup purpose, but you're not able to update it.

This is why i added a small hint in the wiki:

[Heiko910]

how do I reverse this install?

[Staubgeborener]

There is nothing which can be "reversed". This scripts creates a folder and that's it, there are no binaries which will be installed.

sudo rm -r ~/klipper-backup

And maybe delete the added lines in your moonraker.conf. That's pretty much it.

[Heiko910]

I actually got it all working. I deleted my original repository including the access tokens, created a new one, followed the instruction of YouTuber that used your script and I went with the manual backup option and just added the macro. It actually backs all the files that I configured in .env to my new repository. Thanks for your replies, Heiko

one, followed the instruction of YouTuber that used your script

Now I'm interested, could you please post the link to this video. Maybe I can use it for the wiki or readme file if the quality is good enough.

[Heiko910]

Here is the video. https://youtu.be/fR2jIegqv3A?si=7WV0zOjpMFDdrf-s

It worked. I actually now understand what .env file is for and that I should not share it with world. Thanks, Heiko
