Multiple upload targets?

[lukepower]

Hi there,

I am currently in the process of setting up a camera for our remote observatories in Namibia, and so far I am pretty happy :)
I was wondering if it is possible to upload the images to more than one location, i.e. both to an FTP target (local network) as well as an AWS S3 target?

Thanks
Lukas

@lukepower It's only possible to copy the files to the Pi (or a filesystem mounted on the Pi), as well as one of the PROTOCOL's defined in ftp-settings.sh.
For example, I FTP files to my NAS on the local network AND copy them to the Pi's website.

PROTOCOL="ftps"
IMAGE_DIR="/NAS/Cameras"

VIDEOS_DIR="/NAS/Cameras/videos"
VIDEOS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_VIDEOS_DIR="/var/www/html/allsky/videos"

KEOGRAM_DIR="/NAS/Cameras/keograms"
KEOGRAM_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_KEOGRAM_DIR="/var/www/html/allsky/keograms"

STARTRAILS_DIR="/NAS/Cameras/startrails"
STARTRAILS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_STARTRAILS_DIR="/var/www/html/allsky/startrails"

If you can mount your FTP server's filesystem on the Pi, for example, in /FTP, and make sure the "pi" user can write to it, you can set PROTOCOL=S3 in ftp-settings.sh and set up the other S3 variables, then

PROTOCOL="S3"
# Set other S3 variables in ftp-settings.sh
WEB_IMAGE_DIR="/FTP/allsky"
WEB_VIDEOS_DIR="/FTP/allsky/videos"
WEB_KEOGRAM_DIR="/FTP/allsky/keograms"
WEB_STARTRAILS_DIR="/FTP/allsky/startrails"

Please note the "WEB_IMAGE_DIR" variable hasn't been implemented yet, but will be shortly.

If you're unable to mount the FTP server's filesystem onto your Pi, you can write a script to lftp the files to your FTP server on a set schedule. You can base it on the attached script I use, which runs as a service. It copies my files, including some from my FOSCAM cameras, to a remote server. This is in addition to FTP'ing to my NAS.
