download_bintray

JFrog is sunsetting Bintray on May 1, 2021 (see the community announcement). I couldn't find a simple way to backup all of my artifacts so I wrote this small client to download everything.

Note: I initially attempted to use wget for a recursive directory download, but bintray formatted the links in a funny way (probably to avoid people doing exactly that).

This was written in haste and has a limited life span and use-case, so the code is quit ugly and I have no intention of changing that. PRs welcome!

Installation

shards build

This will compile and place the binary in ./bin

Usage

Run the executable with --help to get a list of options. The following will download all of the artifacts of someuser from https://dl.bintray.com/someuser/ into ~/bintray_backup

./bin/download_bintray -u someuser -d ~/bintray_backup -c

The -c option will verify the size of the downloaded files. This will slow down the process, but the results are cached so re-runs have no performance penalty. By performing a file check you can safely recover from a corrupt download after a network interruption by simply re-running the program.

Once everything is downloaded you can prune all the cached files. The caches make re-running the program a lot faster, but there is no reason to keep them if you have finished your backup.

./bin/download_bintray -d ~/bintray_backup -p

You now have a pristine mirror of your bintray artifacts!
