title: Headless SparkleShare with sparkleup</p>
<hr />
<p><em>Update: this is now a <a href="https://github.com/makyo/sparkleup">project you can use</a>!</em></p>
<p>I found myself wanting a headless version of SparkleShare, and was stymied by <a href="https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/1683">the lack thereof</a>. I wanted to keep some IRC and MUCK logs in a SparkleShare project, but I run my clients for those in a <code>tmux</code> session on a server. However, that server lives elsewhere, and has no X, so, alas, the usual SparkleShare clients were right out.</p>

<p>My solution was a combination of ones I&rsquo;ve seen elsewhere, and I&rsquo;m calling it sparkleup because&hellip;I dunno, it sounded fun. It looks like this:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code><span class="err">sparkleup/</span>
<span class="err">├── projects/</span>
<span class="err">│   └── logs*</span>
<span class="err">└── ssh*</span>

</code></pre></div>
<p><code>logs.sh</code> is a simple script to be run by cron, but before I get to that, a minor diversion into git land.</p>

<p>My ssh key on the server requires a password &mdash; as do all of mine &mdash; which makes interacting with SparkleShare programatically difficult. After all, if I just do <code>dazzle link</code> with my normal key, then every time I try to commit to the project, I&rsquo;ll be asked for a password. I&rsquo;m not scripting that.</p>
<p>The solution was to generate a new SSH key with no password and <code>dazzle link</code> that. However, since that key lives in <code>~/.ssh/sparkle</code>, git won&rsquo;t pick up on it by default, because SSH won&rsquo;t pick up on it by default. Add to that the fact that you can&rsquo;t select an SSH key for git to use and&hellip;bleh.</p>

<p>So the solution was two layered. First, I created a new <code>ssh</code> for git to use. <code>sparkleup/ssh</code> is a script to be passed to git with the <code>GIT_SSH</code> environment variable. It looks like:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/bash</span>
ssh -i ~/.ssh/sparkle <span class="nv">$@</span>
</code></pre></div>

<p>That lets me write a job that will, without any interaction from me, commit and push to a SparkleShare project. That&rsquo;s one script per SparkleShare project I need to manage this way, each of which looks like:</p>

<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code><span class="ch">#!/bin/bash</span>
<span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">GIT_SSH</span><span class="o">=</span>/home/makyo/sparkleup/ssh
<span class="nb">cd</span> /home/makyo/logs
<span class="nb">pwd</span>
git add .
git commit -am <span class="s2">&quot;update from sparkleup&quot;</span>
git push origin master
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then I add a crontab line to run that daily (or however frequently I need to update the project):</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s not really the type of thing I can turn into a separate project, but maybe it helps someone out with similar problems!</p>
