Shoveller Cloud A Python script for uploading a large directory tree (with all files) to Ninefold cloud storage. Requires the Python 2.7.3 runtime: http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/ ...and the apache Libcloud library: http://libcloud.apache.org/ Shoveller-Cloud Installation on Ubuntu 12.04 1. Python 2.7.3 should already be preinstalled. Install the pip package manager. Run "apt-get install python-pip" 2. Install Apache Libcloud. Run "pip install apache-libcloud" 3. Install Git. "apt-get install git-core" 4. Install Shoveller-Cloud. Run "git clone https://github.com/ninefold/Shoveller-Cloud.git" - this will create a directory named after the project in the current working directory. Open the new directory and continue. 5. Create two text files in the same folder as the Shoveller-Cloud.py file. - Call them access-token.txt and shared-secret.txt. 6. Log into the Ninefold portal (http://ninefold.com/portal) and click Summary > View Cloud Storage Keys. - The keys you want are the “Atmos Access Token” and the “Amos Shared Secret”. Copy and paste the key for the Atmos Access Token into the file access-token.txt and the Atmos Shared Secret into shared-secret.txt and save them. 7. Launch the script from the command prompt / shell, with the following: - "python Shoveller-Cloud.py access-token.txt shared-secret.txt /yourdir/ datestamp=on" (where /yourdir/ is the directory you want to upload from the local machine). Note: the “datestamp” option, when switched on, will create a root folder in cloud storage with today’s date. This can be helpful if you want to upload the same directory tree a number of times and keep separate versions of it. The starting directory you select must not have any spaces in its name. Shoveller-Cloud Installation on Windows 7 1. Requires the Python 2.7.3 runtime: http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/ Download and install Python 2.7.3. 2. Also requires the Apache Libcloud library: http://libcloud.apache.org/ - To install Libcloud, use: "pip install apache-libcloud" under Linux. On Windows you will need to download and install the Libcloud binaries (place the /libcloud/ directory under /Python27/Lib/). 3. Download the Shoveller-Cloud project from Github: https://github.com/ninefold/Shoveller-Cloud/zipball/master - Unpack the zip file into a folder on your local machine. 4. Create two text files in the same folder as the Shoveller-Cloud.py file. Call them access-token.txt and shared-secret.txt. 5. Retrieve your cloud account’s access token and shared secret keys. On Ninefold, these are visible in the portal. - Log into the Ninefold portal and click Summary > View Cloud Storage Keys. The ones you want are the “Atmos Access Token” and the “Amos Shared Secret”. Copy and paste the key for the Atmos Access Token into access-token.txt and the Atmos Shared Secret into shared-secret.txt and save them. 6. Launch the script from the command prompt / shell, with the following: - "python Shoveller-Cloud.py access-token.txt shared-secret.txt /yourdir/ datestamp=on" (where /yourdir/ is the directory you want to upload from the local machine). Note: the “datestamp” option, when switched on, will create a root folder in cloud storage with today’s date.
