Backup support for organization accounts? about python-github-backup HOT 13 CLOSED

Interesting, I definitely tried this against my company's organization. I'll take a look really quickly.

As far as bitbucket, I think not. I don't use bitbucket and honestly have no desire to figure out their api (if they have one) to pull down information.

from python-github-backup.

Yeah, I actually found a small shell script [1] that does the majority of Bitbucket backups (kinda like your script here, definitely not as elegant)

Maybe there just needs to be quick documentation/steps on how to use this in an authorized manner against a private organization account + repos?

Sorry it took so long, I just added support for backing up organizations.

oh, wow! Thanks, I hadn't had a chance to get back to you with (redacted) example data :p

from python-github-backup.

Quick question - what do I use to be able to access an organization?

My personal GitHub account that has full access to the organization account? So far that doesn't seem to work. Using basic auth, or token auth.

I do not have a username/password for the organization account itself. I don't see any option for generating tokens or resetting a password for it either. Only generating OAuth application tokens for an application that the organization account owns (not just uses)

I am trying:
bin/github-backup --all -t {my Personal access token with EVERYTHING checked} -O org-name

Personal access token generated from https://github.com/settings/applications

from python-github-backup.

Here is what I did:

github-backup seatgeek -P -u josegonzalez -p SOME_KEY -O --repositories

And it seemed to work fine for me. Can you gist your output? Also, did you upgrade?

from python-github-backup.

It's the latest master, and I see your changes for -O - it looks like it does work now except it prompts me for basic auth.

The -p SOME_KEY - is that your password, or your personal access token? No matter what combination I use, for each repo it encounters it prompts me for basic auth.

-u mike503 -p PASSWORD
-u mike503 -p PERSONAL_TOKEN
-u mike503 -t PERSONAL_TOKEN
-u mike503 -p PASSWORD -t PERSONAL_TOKEN
-t PERSONAL_TOKEN

for example:
./github-backup ORG_REPO_NAME -P -u mike503 -p MY_PASSWORD -O --repositories
Backing up user foo to /home/mike/path
Retrieving repositories
Filtering repositories
Backing up repositories
Cloning foo/foo repository
Username for 'https://github.com': mike503
Password for 'https://[email protected]':

Note: it says "backing up user" when this is really an organization. Minor word change might be nice to add in. :)

It looks like it's working, but it still prompts me for basic auth. The token I have generated has this access:

repo, user:email, user:follow, notifications, read:org, read:public_key, read:repo_hook, public_repo, repo_status, repo_deployment

Which seems like everything it should need.

from python-github-backup.

It's a personal access token. I gave it access to everything.

from python-github-backup.

Okay, I have a personal access token, have given it access to everything. Even write/admin stuff.

When I run this:
./github-backup group-repo -P -u mike503 -p TOKEN -O --all

I still get prompted for basic auth. It works once I enter the right username/password, but I need this to run without interaction. I'm sure that's your goal too, I just don't know why I keep getting prompted but you don't.

I even made sure that my pub key was correct. I can git clone the org repo directly without a problem. Just in case part of your script was first using the API over the web and then using normal git commands in the shell.

from python-github-backup.

I just created a new key with the following permissions:

• repo
• write:org
• read:org
• user
• gist

And then ran:

github-backup seatgeek -P -u josegonzalez -p MY_GENERATED_TOKEN -O --all

And it appears to be running fine.

Do you have 2-factor authentication enabled, by any chance?

from python-github-backup.

no two factor.

just generated the fresh key, same privileges as you.

./github-backup ORGNAME -P -u mike503 -p TOKEN -O --all

Backing up user ORGNAME to /home/mike/nobackup/python-github-backup/bin
Retrieving repositories
Filtering repositories
Backing up repositories
Updating ORGNAME/repo1 repository
Username for 'https://github.com':

:( do you have a ~/.netrc setup for github? That's the only way I know of to save http credentials.

from python-github-backup.

I do, but it is only setup for my heroku account. Any other settings you can think of?

from python-github-backup.

I got it to work, if I setup .netrc

Looks like you shell out a git command to do the git work, and it is leveraging https transport. I wonder if passing it https://user:[email protected] would work and your program can provide that?
