Sorry I dropped out of the loop there for a while. My wife just gave
birth to our first baby boy, so this took a back seat for a while.
I am definitely going to go ahead and set up a sourceforge page. But
first, I will have to do some SERIOUS sorting out with the code as it
stands. It doesn't do the logins properly, and I think despite my best
efforts I might have hard-coded some paths etc into it. It will probably
take a couple of weeks
Also, I need a name! No, not for the baby... At the moment I've more or
less settled on the effective-but-boring rdiff-backup-web, but if anyone
can think up of something a little more exciting, I'm open to suggestion.
Ian, David, I would very much appreciate a look at your code, and would
be delighted to incorporate it into this app, especially the SSH stuff.
But, if you can bear with me for a couple of weeks until I get this
sorted out, then I'll let you incorporate it yourself
And if you are
interested at this early stage, I will go through mine quickly (to
remove the passwords etc) and send you what I have so far.
In the mean time, I have a couple of screenshots of what I have done so
far. See www.shannonmro.com/rdiff-backup-web
This actually works, and is fairly reliable as long as you treat it
right (ie, it's not hacker proof). Here is what I hope to do in the not
too distant future:
- Support for different backup methods
- PROPER logins, with cookies and sessions and all that jazz
- A tidier way of displaying the backed up files, with a proper tree
structure, rather than a list of files including their full paths
- and of course eventually things like logos, i18n language support,
other things that people put in these lists but never develop...
So, if everyone will bear with me for a while, I will sort out some
documentation and make sure that it installs peoperly on a system before
putting it up onto sourceforge.
Regards
David Evans
PS: Is this the right place to be discussing this?
