Feature: Download Zips

[benloh]

This ads a new feature for downloading data for non-technical users.

Important

We've needed to add a new library, so make sure you run npm ci

You can now download the following as zips:

• All Research Logs
• All *.loki database files
• All backup *.loki database files
• All *.template.toml template files

This will download all of the graphs on your server.

Caution

Security and privacy are your responsibility! Keep in mind that any one who can log into your nc-multiplex instance with the password is able to download all of your graph data.

The data comes from the netcreate-itest/runtime folder.

To Test

1. cd nc-multiplex
2. git checkout download-zips
3. cd netcreate-itest -- make sure you're running a recent version of the repo
4. git fetch && git checkout dev-dhi -- the latest changes should be in dev-dhi
5. cd .. -- back to nc-multiplex folder
6. npm ci
7. ./start-nc-multiplex.sh
8. Log in
9. Find the "Download Data" box and click on a link to download the data.
10. Unzip the data to review it.
11. Please check the downloaded data to make sure it is valid and usable.

Minor Fixes

• Remove "Make Tokens" feature
• Remove obsolete "Google Adwords" feature
• Update README

@jdanish Please give this a spin on DO to see if download works

Thanks @benloh !

Testing locally ...

(All Backup .loki files) leads to:

Would it be hard to make a single "download all networks" that zips the Loki files and templates in one place? I usually archive them together just in case ... Not a huge deal, though.

Once the first one is fixed I'll test on DO.

[jdanish]

Verified on DO and it appears to work, including that one link that didn't work locally.

Thanks. The issue is missing backup folder. We detect the erorr, but handle the error poorly, so I'm adding some error handling.

[benloh]

Added:

• prevent unauthorized users from downloading data -- you have to be currently logged in
• better error checking and reporting
• download all networks (loki files and template files) in one click

Status update: This has been merged into deploy-terraform and is currently active.

To Do

• See DRAFT: Add Terraform Deployment #19 for merging and cleanup.
