Eine kleine Spielerei zur Datensicherung.

Ausgangslage

Hochschulpolitik produziert viele Pads - Notizen - Protokolle - Todolisten

Pads verschwinden unerwartet - Server tot - Niemand erinnert sich mehr an den Link - Etherpad kann Löschfristen 🙈

Konsequenz:

Lösung 1: Copy-Paste

• $Person kopiert ab und zu das Pad irgendwo hin
• $Person braucht muss dran denken, ist aber etwas verplant

Pad           Wiki
+-------+     +-------+
|- Info |     |- Info |
|  ...  |     |  ...  |
|- Hüte |---->|- Hüte |
|  ...  |     |  ...  |
|- Ideen|     |- Ideen|
|  ...  |     |  ...  |
+-------+     +-------+

Lösung 2: Git und Update-Script

• Pad-URLs in Datei
• Pads als Plaintext exportieren
• In Git einchecken

+------------------------+     +------+
|- http://pad.url/p/pad  |     | git  |
|- http://pad.url/p/pad1 |---->| \pad |
|           ...          |     | \pad1|
                               |  ... |

Update-Script

Lösung 3: CI

• Scheduled Task führt Update-Script aus
• Gitlab committet Änderungen automatisch

+--------------+            +-----------+
| pad-archiver |-----CI---->| Container |
+--------------+            +-----------+
 |                               |
 |`include: lib/gitlab-ci.yml    |`image: ...
 v                               v
+-----------+             +---------------+
| pads-repo |--Scheduled->| Docker-Runner |
|           |<--Commits---|               |
+-----------+             +---------------+

CI-Config

Lösung 4: Rewrite in Go

• Empfehlung: go-git - Git nativ in Go
  • versucht kompatibel zu Git’s Plumbing und Porcelain zu sein
  • wird unter Anderem von Keybase und Gitea benutzt
• LOC ist jetzt ein bisschen sehr viel mehr …
