Add DB import/export

[zurawiki]

I noticed this great tool and I would like to get this into Houston.

https://github.com/AlexeyMK/meteor-download/

Any ideas on how to either
(a) integrate a shell script into Meteor
or
(b) code this using the Meteor APIs?

[AlexeyMK]

Heh - thanks for the kind words!

I think one potential way easy-ish way to integrate would be to write a
one-line curl script based on where Houston is hosting, IE,
run

curl -sSL https://<server>/admin/download.sh

in your local Meteor directory to a local backup of your server locally.

I am not, however, convinced that this is a widely requested feature, based
on the popularity of Meteor Download. Also, this is only really applicable
for very early projects, where the risk of downloading the DB is allowable.
What do you think?

I can't speak for others, but anecdotally I do use Meteor Download and I would use this.

Would be a great feature!

Alright, let me see what I can do.

Import is a whole issue, but for export you should be able to just do

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexeyMK/meteor-download/master/download.sh | bash -s <yoursite>. I'll find a way to link to it from the app.

There is a package to download and upload your database: https://github.com/hitchcott/meteor-backup-restore

Folks that want this feature: how do you feel about #223? @jhuenges, @logankoester, @rzurawicki?
