1## Backup and restore the datastore file
2
3Backup the file `data/datastore.php` (by FTP or SSH). Restore by putting the file back in place.
4
5Example command:
6```bash
7rsync -avzP my.server.com:/var/www/shaarli/data/datastore.php datastore-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M).php
8```
9
10## Export links as...
11
12To export links as an HTML file, under _Tools > Export_, choose:
13
14- _Export all_ to export both public and private links
15- _Export public_ to export public links only
16- _Export private_ to export private links only
17
18Restore by using the `Import` feature.
19
20- This can be done using the [shaarchiver](https://github.com/nodiscc/shaarchiver) tool.
21
22Example command:
23```bash
24./export-bookmarks.py --url=https://my.server.com/shaarli --username=myusername --password=mysupersecretpassword --download-dir=./ --type=all
25```
26
27## Import links from...
28
29### Diigo
30
31If you export your bookmark from Diigo, make sure you use the Delicious export, not the Netscape export. (Their Netscape export is broken, and they don't seem to be interested in fixing it.)
32
33### Mister Wong
34
35See [this issue](https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli/issues/146) for import tweaks.
36
37### SemanticScuttle
38
39To correctly import the tags from a [SemanticScuttle](http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/) HTML export, edit the HTML file before importing and replace all occurences of `tags=` (lowercase) to `TAGS=` (uppercase).
40
41### Scuttle
42
43Shaarli cannot import data directly from [Scuttle](https://github.com/scronide/scuttle).
44
45However, you can use the third-party [scuttle-to-shaarli](https://github.com/q2apro/scuttle-to-shaarli)
46tool to export the Scuttle database to the Netscape HTML format compatible with the Shaarli importer.
47
48### Refind
49
50You can use the third-party tool [Derefind](https://github.com/ShawnPConroy/Derefind) to convert refind.com bookmark exports to a format that can be imported into Shaarli.
51
52## Import Shaarli links to Firefox
53
54- Export your Shaarli links as described above.
55 - For compatibility reasons, check `Prepend note permalinks with this Shaarli instance's URL (useful to import bookmarks in a web browser)`
56- In Firefox, open the bookmark manager (not the sidebar! `Bookmarks menu > Show all bookmarks` or `Ctrl+Shift+B`)
57- Select `Import and Backup > Import bookmarks in HTML format`
58
59Your bookmarks will be imported in Firefox, ready to use, with tags and descriptions retained. "Self" (notes) shaares will still point to the Shaarli instance you exported them from, but the note text can be viewed directly in the bookmark properties inside your browser. Depending on the number of bookmarks, the import can take some time.

64- [TagSieve](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tagsieve/) - browse your bookmarks by their tags

3## Goals
4- Getting a Virtual Private Server (VPS)
5- Running Shaarli:
6 - as a Docker container,
7 - using the Træfik reverse proxy,
8 - securized with TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt.
9
10
11The following components and tools will be used:
12
13- [Debian](https://www.debian.org/), a GNU/Linux distribution widely used in
14 server environments;
15- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/docker-overview/), an open platform
16 for developing, shipping, and running applications;
17- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/), a tool for defining and
18 running multi-container Docker applications.
19
20
21More information can be found in the [Resources](#resources) section at the
22bottom of the guide.
23
24## Getting a Virtual Private Server
25For this guide, I went for the smallest VPS available from DigitalOcean,
26a Droplet with 1 CPU, 1 GiB RAM and 25 GiB SSD storage, which costs
27$5/month ($0.007/hour):
28
29- [Droplets Overview](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/overview/)
30- [Pricing](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/)
31- [How to Create a Droplet from the DigitalOcean Control Panel](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/create/)
32- [How to Add SSH Keys to Droplets](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/)
33- [Initial Server Setup with Debian 8](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-debian-8) (also applies to Debian 9)
34- [An Introduction to Securing your Linux VPS](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-securing-your-linux-vps)
35
36### Creating a Droplet
37Select `Debian 9` as the Droplet distribution:
38
39<img src="../images/01-create-droplet-distro.jpg"
40 width="500px"
41 alt="Droplet distribution" />
42
43Choose a region that is geographically close to you:
44
45<img src="../images/02-create-droplet-region.jpg"
46 width="500px"
47 alt="Droplet region" />
48
49Choose a Droplet size that corresponds to your usage and budget:
50
51<img src="../images/03-create-droplet-size.jpg"
52 width="500px"
53 alt="Droplet size" />
54
55Finalize the Droplet creation:
56
57<img src="../images/04-finalize.jpg"
58 width="500px"
59 alt="Droplet finalization" />
60
61Droplet information is displayed on the Control Panel:
62
63<img src="../images/05-droplet.jpg"
64 width="500px"
65 alt="Droplet summary" />
66
67Once your VPS has been created, you will receive an e-mail with connection
68instructions.
69
70## Obtaining a domain name
71After creating your VPS, it will be reachable using its IP address; some hosting
72providers also create a DNS record, e.g. `ns4853142.ip-01-47-127.eu`.
73
74A domain name (DNS record) is required to obtain a certificate and setup HTTPS
75(HTTP with TLS encryption).
76
77Domain names can be obtained from registrars through hosting providers such as
78[Gandi](https://www.gandi.net/en/domain).
79
80Once you have your own domain, you need to create a new DNS record that points
81to your VPS' IP address:
82
83<img src="../images/06-domain.jpg"
84 width="650px"
85 alt="Domain configuration" />
86
87## Host setup
88Now's the time to connect to your freshly created VPS!
89
90```shell
91$ ssh root@188.166.85.8

155root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
156```
157
158## Running Shaarli
159Shaarli comes with a configuration file for Docker Compose, that will setup:
160
161- a local Docker network
162- a Docker [volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) to store Shaarli data
163- a Docker [volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) to store Træfik TLS configuration and certificates
164- a [Shaarli](https://hub.docker.com/r/shaarli/shaarli/) instance
165- a [Træfik](https://hub.docker.com/_/traefik/) instance
166
167[Træfik](https://docs.traefik.io/) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy, with native
168support for Docker and [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).
169
170### Compose configuration
171Create a new directory to store the configuration:
172
173```shell
174root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ mkdir shaarli && cd shaarli
175root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$
176```
177
178Download the current version of Shaarli's `docker-compose.yml`:
179
180```shell
181root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shaarli/Shaarli/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
182```
183
184Create the `.env` file and fill in your VPS and domain information (replace
185`<MY_SHAARLI_DOMAIN>` and `<MY_CONTACT_EMAIL>` with your actual information):
186
187```shell
188root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ vim .env
189```
190
191```shell
192SHAARLI_VIRTUAL_HOST=<MY_SHAARLI_DOMAIN>
193SHAARLI_LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=<MY_CONTACT_EMAIL>
194```
195
196### Pull the Docker images
197```shell
198root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ docker-compose pull
199Pulling shaarli ... done
200Pulling traefik ... done
201```
202
203### Run!
204```shell
205root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ docker-compose up -d

1### Decode datastore content
2
3To display the array representing the data saved in `data/datastore.php`, use the following snippet:
4
5```php
6$data = "tZNdb9MwFIb... <Commented content inside datastore.php>";
7$out = unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode($data)));
8echo "<pre>"; // Pretty printing is love, pretty printing is life
9print_r($out);
10echo "</pre>";
11exit;
12```
13This will output the internal representation of the datastore, "unobfuscated" (if this can really be considered obfuscation).
14
15Alternatively, you can transform to JSON format (and pretty-print if you have `jq` installed):
16```
17php -r 'print(json_encode(unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode(preg_replace("!.*/\* (.+) \*/.*!", "$1", file_get_contents("data/datastore.php")))))));' | jq .
18```
19
20### Changing the timestamp for a shaare
21
22- Look for `<input type="hidden" name="lf_linkdate" value="{$link.linkdate}">` in `tpl/editlink.tpl` (line 14)
23- Replace `type="hidden"` with `type="text"` from this line
24- A new date/time field becomes available in the edit/new link dialog.
25- You can set the timestamp manually by entering it in the format `YYYMMDD_HHMMS`.
