Synchronising files with Rackspage Cloud Files
Can do:
- upload files simultaneously in separate regions
- verify MD5 when uploading and downloading
- utilize 5-20 threads, so faster than pyrax
- work without dependencies, using a single statically built binary
Cannot do:
- Work with openstack providers, other than rackspace
Download deb or rpm package from the releases page. There are no dependencies
so you shouldn't have any issues with installation.
For debian based:
wget https://github.com/vexor/vx-binutils/releases/download/v0.2.1/vx-binutils_0.2.1-0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i vx-binutils_0.2.1-0_amd64.deb
For rpm based:
wget https://github.com/vexor/vx-binutils/releases/download/v0.2.1/vx-binutils-0.2.1-0.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv vx-binutils-0.2.1-0.x86_64.rpm
OSX: wget -O- https://github.com/vexor/vx-binutils/releases/download/v0.2.1/vx-binutils_0.2.1-0_osx_amd64.tar.gz | tar -vzxf -
Two environmental variables are required: SDK_USERNAME and SDK_API_KEY
export SDK_USERNAME=<rackspace login>
export SDK_API_KEY=<rackspace api key>
It is possible to upload either specific files or entire directories
# synchronizes the ~/packages directory with packages container in IAD region,
# which is equivalent to running rsync --delete SOURCE DEST
cloud-sync put -d -s ~/packages iad:packages
# uploads archive.tar file into backup container in IAD region
cloud-sync put -s ~/archive.tar iad:backup
You don't have to specify the required region when uploading, cloud-sync will check all regions
and will find the container with given name, so it is possible to upload multiple files into several regions
at the same time.
# if the files container exists in both IAD and SYD regions, it will start uploading to both of them
cloud-sync put -s ~/files files
You can add prefix when uploading, and this prefix will be used for all the uploaded file names.
# uploads backup.tar file into the 20131016/ directory in the container
cloud-sync -s ~/backup.tar -p $(date +"%Y%m%d")/ backups
