go-matrixbackup

matrixbackup

This is a tool that implements downloading of data from all rooms user has access to, to a set of json files. The json files are stored in hierarchy room-human-readable-alias:room-id/yyyy-mm-dd.json, where each yyyy-mm-dd.json file contains all data for that particular day for that room.

The default credentials file is ~/.config/matrix-commander/credentials.json. Command-line flags always override values found in the config file.

Usage example ( git )

After checkout:

go run . --server <YOUR_HOMESERVER_URL> --user <YOUR_USER_ID> --token <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN> --dir ./my_matrix_backup

or, if you are Matrix Commander user, you have your credentials in ~/.config/matrix-commander/credentials.json, and you want backups in backup/ directory:

go run .

Installation ( non git )

This can be also installed using

go install github.com/fingon/go-matrixbackup@latest

and then you can use the command, assuming you have Go binary directory in your PATH:

go-matrixbackup ...

if you wish to use it without git.
