[ckan-dev] Backing up Organizations

[Michael Speth]

Hi Ian,
  Thank you very much for posting this solution.  I have added<https://forge.puppetlabs.com/conzar/ckan/changelog> ckanapi to the ckan puppet module<https://forge.puppetlabs.com/conzar/ckan> which is now available in 1.0.9 (as an option).

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

The ckanapi[1] command line tool supports dumping and loading organizations[2].

[1]: https://github.com/ckan/ckanapi
[2]: https://github.com/ckan/ckanapi/blob/master/ckanapi/cli/main.py

Use "ckanapi dump organizations ... > my_orgs.jsonl" to export and
"ckanapi load organizations ... < my_orgs.jsonl" to import.

If you want to get fancy you can use a pipe to skip the temporary
file, and use the "-p" options to dump/load with multiple connections
in parallel.

ckanapi also supports dumping and loading datasets, but not users yet.
