slackhog

A Clojure program for backing up your slack history. Supports channels, groups, and ims, as well as users and channels themselves (mappings of ids to names).

Usage

lein uberjar

This will create a jar that we can run.

If this is the first time you're running, you should create the tables slackhog looks for. These are the users, channels, and messages tables. Create them using the sql files in sql/.

export SUBNAME='//localhost:5432/slackhog'
export PGUSER=user
export PGPASS=pass
export SLACK_TOKEN=token

java -jar target/slackhog.jar channels groups ims channel-ids user-ids

Some notes:

• SUBNAME defaults to the above. It was included merely as an example of hor to change this.
• PGUSER and PGPASS default to no authentication.

Things to backup

• channels: Messages from all public channels.
• groups: Messages from all private groups you're a part of.
• ims: Messages from all private IM convos you're a part of.
• user-ids: Populate the users table.
• channel-ids: Populate the channels table.
