cca_import

A cross platform tool which allows you to specify a directory and a bucket on the Cloud.ca object store and the directory will be uploaded to the specified bucket. If the bucket does not exist, it will be created before uploading.

The code is not required to use the tool, you can just grab the appropriate binary and use it.

GET THE TOOL

Download the compiled binary for your system from the list below.

Windows: 64 bit, 32 bit
Mac OSX: 64 bit, 32 bit
Linux: 64 bit, 32 bit, ARM
FreeBSDS: 64 bit, 32 bit, ARM
OpenBSDS: 64 bit, 32 bit
NetBSDS: 64 bit, 32 bit, ARM

USAGE

The usage documentation for the tool is accessible through the -h or -help flags.

$ ./cca_import -h
Usage of ./cca_import:
  -bucket="": The container where the files should be uploaded
  -concurrent=4: The number of files to be uploaded concurrently (reduce if 'too many files open' errors occur)
  -dir="": Absolute or relative path to a directory to be uploaded
  -endpoint="https://auth.cloud.ca/v2.0": The Cloud.ca object storage public url
  -identity="": Your Cloud.ca object storage identity
  -password="": Your Cloud.ca object storage password
  -prefix="": A prefix added to the path of each object uploaded to the bucket

An example run would look like the following.

$ ./cca_import -dir="." -bucket="tools" -prefix="cca_import" -identity="my_identity" -password="my_password"

BUILDING FROM SOURCE

If you want to run from source you would do the following.

$ git clone https://github.com/swill/cca_import.git
$ cd cca_import
$ go build
$ ./cca_import -h

CROSS COMPILING

Using the tool from source is not ideal, instead it should be cross compiled and the executables should be distributed. Since this is written in Go (golang), it will have to be compiled for each OS independently. A convenience script _build.sh has been added to the project to simplify the cross compilation process.

Compilation process:

$ cd /path/to/cca_import
$ ./_build.sh
