Rescues broken filestores because ofs is not thread-safe. This script generates the minimal JSON that's required for the filestore to work. Pull requests welcome to make it more closer to the original JSON.
After activating your virtualenv, cd to the src directory, install the
sources via pip::
$ (default) pip install -e git+git://github.com/ckan/ofs-hero.git#egg=ofs_hero
Switch to the ofs-hero directory and run the paster command with the path to
the config file::
$ (default) paster regenerate -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini
This will print the JSON value. Pipe it to a file and replace the
persisted_state.json file in the flestore::
$ (default) paster regenerate -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini > persisted_state.json
It is recommended that you shutdown the webserver before replacing the file.
