Download Data

[benloh]

In order to:

• simplify the process of backing up and restoring a droplet
• avoid unnecessary errors or multiple downloads selecting the too many or the wrong zips

We now have a single download "All data" link that will download everything in a single zip. Including:

• .nc-process-state.json -- active graphs
• .nc-server-start.txt -- log start time
• nc-multiplex log.txt file
• netcreate-itest/runtime folder - will archive entire folder, including loki, templates, template backups, loki, backup lokis, logs, etc.

@jdanish Please give this a spin to make sure the download data works. Since this will be used with research data I want to make absolutely sure that this works.

To Test

Make sure you have a working nc-multiplex install with graphs loaded.

1. git checkout download-data
2. ./start-nc-multiplex.sh
3. Go to the manage page: http://localhost/manage
4. Make sure you have a few graphs loaded
5. Click Download "All Data" -- you should get a zip with all the files

Now test it on a new install. You can use another droplet or another install, e.g.

1. cd ~/tmp
2. git clone nc-multiplex
3. Install netcreate-itest and do the necessary package installs, etc. to get nc-multiplex running on your local machine.
4. Copy the .nc-process-state.json file into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/.nc-process-state.json
5. Copy the .nc-server-start.txt file into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/.nc-server-start.txt
6. Copy the runtime folder into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/netcreat-itest folder.
7. ./start-nc-multiplex.sh
   The graphs you loaded before should be displayed.

After this we should try it on a droplet. I've installed it on qa.netcreate.app

1. Go to the manage page: http://qa.netcreate.app/manage
2. Make sure you have a few graphs loaded
3. Click Download "All Data" -- you should get a zip with all the files
4. Go to your local install in ~/tmp
5. Copy the .nc-process-state.json file into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/.nc-process-state.json
6. Copy the .nc-server-start.txt file into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/.nc-server-start.txt
7. Copy the runtime folder into ~/tmp/nc-multiplex/netcreat-itest folder.
8. ./start-nc-multiplex.sh
   The graphs from the classroom should be displayed.
