Backup Flow?

potts.mike · June 10, 2020, 1:46pm

I searched but got a little confused with the node-red topics.

Does anyone have a flow that can pull the backups off the hub and save them to a cloud service? Preferably google drive?

stephen_nutt · June 10, 2020, 2:18pm

I found a sequence online that sets up a database for upload to Dropbox but I can't remember where I found it online. This is mine after tweaked for my needs. I don't know how the function node labeled "parse html cheerio" works though.

I can export the sequence if interested.

Don't block quote it - blockquoting in Discourse strips stuff. Use the pre-formatted text option </> instead.

Who are you calling an "Odd Node"???

You need the palettes for the cheerio-function & string nodes. The rest are for nodes that I added to customize for my needs.

Cronplus sets the timer to run daily
Join-message and join-config is for notifications using Join that is part of Tasker on Android
Dropbox-out is obviously for Dropbox so if you aren't going to use that, you don't need that palette.

of course you do sorry if I implied anything else

I guess, in the back of my brain, I started that other Node-Red topic to have a base level of Imported Nodes that would allow US.. the Hubitat Community to share concepts via Imports... so that new Node-Red users aren't lost getting NR to be functional vs seeing/understanding Flows.

I can share my flow that backs up all of the important Node Red files nightly if anyone wants to see it but its got a couple of Odd Nodes too.

I personally don't have a problem with the Odd Nodes thing.. I know how to find them, import them, etc. But it's a peeve with Node-Red I guess, that THEY haven't created a far more useful (to noobs) installation. Yea, I know WE would have to add the Hubitat palette, but those 6 new nodes to be imported might discourage some.

Only if the end goal wasn’t visible or desired. When one is importing a flow/sequence, both those conditions are generally met.

I know when @april.brandt and I were sharing flows, we both added nodes necessary to get imported sequences to work.
