📦 Releases

Platform-specific binaries are available in the Releases section.

Filename	OS	Architecture	Download
importer-darwin-amd64	macOS	Intel (x86_64)	⬇️ Download
importer-darwin-arm64	macOS	Apple Silicon	⬇️ Download
importer-linux-amd64	Linux	Intel/AMD	⬇️ Download

🔧 Usage

Run the tool using the following syntax:

./importer [media|sql|both] [server IP address] [SSH port (optional, default: 22)]

Arguments

media – Copies media files (in an archive format) from the remote server to the local machine.

sql – Creates a SQL dump on the remote server and downloads it to the local machine.

both – Downloads both media files and a SQL dump.

Example

./importer both 192.168.1.100

This will use SSH to connect to 192.168.1.100 (on port 22) and download both media and SQL files.

🔐 SSH Authentication

You can authenticate using:

Password – You'll be prompted to enter the password when connecting.

SSH key – If no password is provided, the app will try to use your default key at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

⬇️ How to Download and Use

1. Download the right version

Go to the Releases page and download the correct binary for your system.

2. Make it executable

After downloading, run the following command in your terminal:

chmod +x importer-<your-platform>

Replace <your-platform> with the name of the file you downloaded (e.g., importer-darwin-arm64).

3. Run it

Use ./importer- from the terminal, or optionally rename it:

mv importer-<your-platform> importer

./importer media 192.168.1.100

❓ Common Issues

• "Permission denied" error – Make sure the file is executable by running:

chmod +x importer-<your-platform>

• "Unidentified developer" warning – macOS may block the app. To allow it:

1. Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General.
2. Click "Allow Anyway" after attempting to run the binary.

• "Architecture mismatch" – Apple Silicon users should download the arm64 version. Intel Macs need the amd64 version.
