Auctiora Scripts

Utility scripts for managing the Auctiora auction monitoring system.

📦 Available Scripts

1. Production Data Sync

Sync production database and images from athena.lan to your local development environment.

Quick Start

Linux/Mac (Bash):

# Make executable (first time only)
chmod +x scripts/sync-production-data.sh

# Sync database only
./scripts/sync-production-data.sh --db-only

# Sync everything
./scripts/sync-production-data.sh --all

# Sync images only
./scripts/sync-production-data.sh --images-only

🔧 Prerequisites

Required

• SSH Client: OpenSSH or equivalent
  • Windows: Built-in on Windows 10+, or install Git Bash
  • Linux/Mac: Pre-installed
• SCP: Secure copy (usually comes with SSH)
• SSH Access: SSH key configured for tour@athena.lan

Optional

• rsync: For efficient incremental image sync
  • Windows: Install via WSL or Cygwin
  • Linux/Mac: Usually pre-installed
• sqlite3: For showing database statistics
  • Windows: Download from sqlite.org
  • Linux: sudo apt install sqlite3
  • Mac: Pre-installed

📊 What Gets Synced

Database (cache.db)

• Size: ~8.9 GB (as of Dec 2024)
• Contains:
  • Auctions metadata
  • Lots (kavels) with bid information
  • Images metadata and URLs
  • HTTP cache for scraper
• Local Path: c:\mnt\okcomputer\cache.db

Images Directory

• Size: Varies (can be large)
• Contains:
  • Downloaded lot images
  • Organized by lot ID
• Local Path: c:\mnt\okcomputer\images\

🚀 Usage Examples

📁 File Locations

Remote (Production)

athena.lan
├── Docker Volume: shared-auction-data
│   ├── /data/cache.db          (SQLite database)
│   └── /data/images/           (Image files)
└── /tmp/                        (Temporary staging area)

Local (Development)

c:\mnt\okcomputer\
├── cache.db                     (SQLite database)
├── cache.db.backup-*            (Automatic backups)
└── images\                      (Image files)

🔒 Safety Features

Automatic Backups

• Existing local database is automatically backed up before sync
• Backup format: cache.db.backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
• Keep recent backups manually or clean up old ones

Confirmation Prompts

• PowerShell script prompts for confirmation (unless -Force is used)
• Shows configuration before executing
• Safe to cancel at any time

Error Handling

• Validates SSH connection before starting
• Cleans up temporary files on remote server
• Reports clear error messages

⚡ Performance Tips

Faster Image Sync with rsync

Install rsync for incremental image sync (only new/changed files):

Windows (WSL):

wsl --install
wsl -d Ubuntu
sudo apt install rsync

Windows (Chocolatey):

choco install rsync

Benefit: First sync downloads everything, subsequent syncs only transfer changed files.

Images can be synced separately when needed for image processing tests.

🐛 Troubleshooting

SSH Connection Issues

# Test SSH connection
ssh tour@athena.lan "echo 'Connection OK'"

# Check SSH key
ssh-add -l

Permission Denied

# Add SSH key (Linux/Mac)
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Windows: Use PuTTY or OpenSSH for Windows

Database Locked Error

# Make sure no other process is using the database
Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Path -like "*java*"} | Stop-Process

# Or restart the monitor

Slow Image Sync

• Use rsync instead of scp (see Performance Tips)
• Consider syncing only database for code development
• Images only needed for object detection testing
