Option to export archive locally, without server upload #85

Open Francisc opened 9 years ago

Francisc commented 9 years ago

Hello,

Seeing as the service is going away, it would be nice to be able to backup ST3 configs and packages locally. This would work nicely with any backup solution without the need of a custom Sublimall server install.

Hi @Francisc ,

You just have to tar.gz your Sublime Text folder if you want to backup it.

Hi Geoffrey,

I have been doing that before Sublimall and I'll probably be doing it after, but it felt nice just opening the commands pane from inside ST and running the plugin without having to navigate to the ST folder.

Sublimall is smarter than just archiving the entire folder too, it only takes the necessary folders, like User Packages and Installed Packages.

Thanks for the suggestion.

toxinu commented 9 years ago

Oh okay! I understand your idea. Just a command that drop an archive of your configuration without any upload at all ?

That's a good idea yes. If I find time I'll do it yes :smile: It's interesting me too.

Francisc commented 9 years ago

Awesome, thank you. Configuring the export path would be a nice touch.

This would be a nice option/addition to have after you shutdown your server, yes.

Hi. This is "the must have" option. And without the server is the "most expected" )

alvolturbo commented 9 years ago

It seems this is the end and there won't be any update. It's a pity...

toxinu commented 9 years ago

Guys, end of update is not pity. This feature require not server. This feature is just a archive compressed with 2 excludes that you can do very easily yourself with approx. 5 minutes. But I'll try to do an update for Sublimall when I'll have time.

Francisc commented 9 years ago

Geoffrey's right. The Sublimall already creates an archive which gets uploaded to the server. So one would only need to work on a configurable path for where to place that archive instead of uploading it.

I just release 0.0.25 guys: https://github.com/socketubs/Sublimall/blob/master/messages/0.0.25.txt Soon available on PackageControl.

You just have to specify two options:

local_backup : Won't upload package but use archives_path instead to store your archive locally
archives_path: Path to a directory or a file to create for your archive.
