File Importer

This tool can be used to do a single import of files or to periodically scan for files in an input folder.

Downloads

Built binaries for Windows/Linux/MacOSX can be found at https://github.com/sismics/docs/releases

Usage

./docs-importer-macos (for MacOSX)
./docs-importer-linux (for Linux)
docs-importer-win.exe (for Windows)

A wizard will ask you for the import configuration and write it in ~/.config/preferences/com.sismics.docs.importer.pref. Words following a # in the filename will be added as tags to the document, if there is a tag with the same name on the Server.

For the next start, pass the -d argument to skip the wizard:

./docs-importer-linux -d

Daemon mode

The daemon mode scan the input directory every 30 seconds for new files. Once a file is found and imported, it is deleted. You can set a copyFolder to copy the file to before deletion.

Docker

The docker image needs a volume mounted from a previously generated preference file at /root/.config/preferences/com.sismics.docs.importer.pref. The container will start the importer in daemon mode. It will look for files in /import. Example usage:

docker run --name teedy-import -d -v /path/to/preferencefile:/root/.config/preferences/com.sismics.docs.importer.pref -v /path/to/import/folder:/import sismics/docs-importer:latest

Environment variables

Instead of mounting the preferences file, the options can also be set by setting the environment variables TEEDY_TAG, TEEDY_ADDTAGS, TEEDY_LANG, TEEDY_COPYFOLDER, TEEDY_FILEFILTER, TEEDY_URL, TEEDY_USERNAME and TEEDY_PASSWORD. The latter three have to be set for the importer to work. The value of TEEDY_TAG has to be set to the UUID of the tag, not the name (The UUID can be found by visiting baseUrl/api/tag/list in your browser). Example usage:

docker run --name teedy-import -d -e TEEDY_TAG=2071fdf7-0e26-409d-b53d-f25823a5eb9e -e TEEDY_ADDTAGS=false -e TEEDY_LANG=eng -e TEEDY_URL='http://teedy.example.com:port' -e TEEDY_USERNAME=username -e TEEDY_PASSWORD=superSecretPassword -v /path/to/import/folder:/import sismics/docs-importer:latest
