Command line interface for Amazon Glacier. Allows managing vaults, uploading and downloading archives and bookkeeping of created archives.
Required libraries are glaciercorecalls (temporarily, while we wait for glacier support to land in boto's develop branch) and boto - at the moment you still need to use development branch of boto.
You also need to install GIT, with something like apt-get install git,
because boto sources are downloaded from repository.
>>> python setup.py install
>>> glacier-cmd [args]
Currently use of virtualenv is recommended, but we will migrate to buildout shortly:
>>> virtualenv --no-site-packages --python=python2.7 amazon-glacier-cmd-interface
>>> source amazon-glacier-cmd-interface/bin/activate
>>> python setup.py develop
>>> glacier-cmd command [args]
There are a couple of ways to pass in settings. While you can pass in everything
on command line you can also cretate config file .glacier in your home folder
or in folder where you run glacier(current working directory). To speciffy speciall
location of your config file use -c option on command line.
Here is an example configuration:
[aws]
access_key=your_access_key
secret_key=your_secret_key
[glacier]
region=us-east-1
bookkeeping=True
bookkeeping-domain-name=your_simple_db_domain_name
You can also pass in all these options as environemnt variables:
$ aws_access_key=your_access_key aws_secret_key=your_secret_key region=us-east-1 bookkeeping=True bookkeeping-domain-name=your_simple_db_domain_name glacier [args]
It doesn't matter if option names are upper-case or lower-case or if they have
aws_ in string. Currently only section names must be lower-case.
We created a special feature called bookkeeping, where we keep a cache of all uploaded archive and their names, hashes, sizes and similar meta-data in an Amazon SimpleDB. This is still work in progress and can be enabled by setting bookkeeping to True. Some commands like search require bookkeeping to be enabled. You will also have to set bookkeeping-domain-name:

To list your vault contents use lsvault, to create vault use mkvault and to
remove use rmvault obvious:
$ glacier-cmd mkvault Test

To upload archive use upload. You can upload data from file or data from
stdin. To upload from file:
$ glacier-cmd upload Test /path/SomeFile "The file description"
Created archive with ID: EQocIYw9ZmofbWixjD2oKb8faeIg4D1uSi1PxpdyBVy__lDMCWcmXLIzNKBP4ikPH3Ngn4w8ApqCMN7XJqNL7V4sxRzq42Zu74DctpLG9GSPSNjLc1_vorGVk3YqVEdjd2cqnWTdiA
Archive SHA256 hash: e837acd31ee9b04a73fb176f1845695364dfabe019fca17f4097cf80687082c0
You can only compare the SHA256 returned by AWS with the locally computed one
(using the shasum utility) if your archive was under 1Mb.
$ shasum -a 256 SomeFile
e837acd31ee9b04a73fb176f1845695364dfabe019fca17f4097cf80687082c0 SomeFile
For files larger than 1Mb, a special SHA256 needs to be computed. There are plans to update the tool in the future to compute these special SHA256 values off-line.
If you are uploading a temp file with a meaningless name, or using --stdin, you can use the --name option to tell glacier to ignore the filename and use the given name when it creates the bookkeeping entry:
$ glacier-cmd upload --name /path/BetterName Test /tmp/temp.tQ6948 "Some description"
To upload from stdin:
$ TODO: example for using --stdin
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're uploading from stdin, and you don't specify a --partsize option, your upload will be limited to 1.3Tb, and the progress report will come out every 128Mb. For more details, run:
$ glacier-cmd upload -h
You have two options to retrieve an archive - first one is download,
second one is getarchive
If you use download, you will have to uniquely identify the file either by
its file name, its description, or limit the search by region and vault.
If that is not enough you should use getarchive and specify the archive ID of
the archive you want to retrieve:
$ TODO: example here
To remove uploaded archive use rmarchive. You can currently delete only by
archive id (notice the use of -- when the archive ID starts with a dash):
$ glacier-cmd rmarchive Test -- -6AKuLSU3wxtSqq_GeeAss9zLvto8Xr1su4mqmvluTTv4HcXbFJJNy0yiTu9tG5vFjrBXvmQKXGwFJpNMghqYBerUKpsjq56mrzv1wUbe6DWuzl6Ntb8WSQHYo0kzw8rcLaVx5MFug

To search for uploaded arhives in your cache use search. This requires bookkeeping
enabled:
$ TODO: example here
To list the inventory of a vault use inventory:
$ glacier-cmd inventory Test
