Sync ( Unstable )

• References
• Resources The above are all stored in MongoDB GridFS that means there is no need to access the filesystem to get images or videos, mongodb chunks them down. ⇒ The move was to facilitate the easy of moving files across servers. ⇒ Having One database for files and Data. ⇒ Easy Syncing

We have 2 scripts,

one exports the specified database collection from the main server, it will be checking every 24 hours. The other scripts downloads the exported database collection from the main server, and merges the local server with new data.

Example of the script (exports chunks)

colls=( fs.chunks fs.files Resources References)
if [ -d  "dump" ] ;  then
	echo "Directory exist and will be removed"
	sleep 1
	echo "Removing the directory"
	sleep 2
	rm -rf dump dump.tar.gz 
fi
for  coll  in  ${colls[@]}  
	do
	echo  $coll
	# for the remote main server
	mongodump -h localhost:27017 -d sparked -c $coll  
done

echo "compressing the dumped directory "

tar cvzf /var/www/sparked/bundle/public/dump.tar.gz dump/ 
# bundle and send to the public to be downloadable (main server)

EndPoints API
