Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I would like to perform a quick sync regularly (daily) from the server (in the crontab).
So it would be great if I could call the quick sync action from bash .
Is this something feasible ?
Thanks.
Regards

I would alsoo like to see this facility - not sure if its possible though??

it looks like this not possible via API.
This method would be a nice to have feature.
I don't know if this is possible via an HTTP POST command....
Has anyone tried something in this way ? any clue ?

I wrote a python script that watches your images folder and syncs it via piwigo webservice if it recognized a change. The script uses a linux kernel module named inotify to watch the folder (most effective one).
#!/usr/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
import sys
import inotify.adapters
import inotify.constants
import time
import requests
import multiprocessing
__author__ = 'torsten'
dir = <your images dir>
def refreshPiwigo():
user = "piwigo username"
password = "piwigo password"
base_url = "http://localhost/piwigo"
loginData = {}
loginData["method"] = "pwg.session.login"
loginData["username"] = user
loginData["password"] = password
session = requests.Session()
loginResponse = session.post(base_url + '/ws.php?format=json', data=loginData)
print(loginResponse.text)
syncData = {}
syncData["sync"] = "files"
syncData["display_info"] = 1
syncData["add_to_caddie"] = 1
syncData["privacy_level"] = 0
syncData["sync_meta"] = 1
syncData["simulate"] = 0
syncData["subcats-included"] = 1
syncData["submit"] = 1
startTime = time.time()
syncResponse = session.post(base_url + '/admin.php?page=site_update&site=1', data=syncData, timeout=600.0)
endTime = time.time()
print(syncResponse.text)
print(endTime - startTime)
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
refreshPiwigoProcess = None
i = inotify.adapters.InotifyTree(dir, mask=(inotify.constants.IN_CREATE | inotify.constants.IN_MODIFY), block_duration_s = 3)
lastChangeTime = None
for event in i.event_gen():
if event is None:
if lastChangeTime is not None and time.time() - lastChangeTime > 10 and (refreshPiwigoProcess is None or not refreshPiwigoProcess.is_alive()):
print("run check")
lastChangeTime = None
refreshPiwigoProcess = multiprocessing.Process(target=refreshPiwigo)
refreshPiwigoProcess.start()
else:
filename = event[3]
if not filename.startswith('.'):
lastChangeTime = time.time()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "stopping..."
sys.exit(0)
To run it install the following python libs:
pip install requests
pip install inotify
I installed it as a service on my linux machine so it will starts when booted.

Hi Torsten,
Great !!! I will definitely test it pretty soon since this is actually exactly what I need.
In my case I will not need the inotify feature since my process pushes a lot of updates all at once, and I will rather trigger it from another script once all changes are made.
It looks promising, I'll keep you in the loop.
Thank you very much for this script.

Hi rob777,
actually this implementation waits until there are no changes made for 10 sec (including running uploads), but if you have a trigger to start the script, that is better. I am using SFTP to upload it and do not have a chance to start a script when done.
by the way: to sync the piwigo-videoJS plugin and generate poster images for the videos
#!/usr/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
__author__ = 'torsten'
import requests
import time
user = "your username"
password = "your password"
base_url = "http://yourserver/piwigo/"
loginData = {}
loginData["method"] = "pwg.session.login"
loginData["username"] = user
loginData["password"] = password
session = requests.Session()
loginResponse = session.post(base_url + '/ws.php?format=json', data=loginData)
print(loginResponse.text)
syncData = {}
syncData["mediainfo"] = "mediainfo"
syncData["ffmpeg"] = "ffmpeg"
syncData["metadata"] = 1
syncData["poster"] = 1
syncData["postersec"] = 4
syncData["output"] = "jpg"
syncData["posteroverlay"] = 1
syncData["subcats_included"] = 1
syncData["submit"] = 1
syncData["cat_id"] = 0
startTime = time.time()
syncResponse = session.post(base_url + 'admin.php?page=plugin§ion=piwigo-videojs%2Fadmin%2Fadmin.php&tab=sync', data=syncData, timeout=600.0)
endTime = time.time()
print(syncResponse.text)
print(endTime - startTime)

first of all great job with the script works perfectly one small question is there a way to assign a group to new albums when they are created i have multiple users with there own gallery but have no way of keeping the albums separate with out manually assign the album to a group if i could add a line in i was thinking maybe sync data command (just not sure what it would be) and running scripts for each use thanks in advance

Hello,
can you tell me please which path has to be given here ?
dir = <your images dir>
It shoud'nt be the base_url
thanks for clarification
