dfour Sync is an experimental GitHub Action to sync data packages between a GitHub repository and dfour storage instance. It is based on frictionless-dfour. To run manually use the included command line of frictionless-dfour.

Test the Template/Example Repo.

• Data package publication: simplify the data package publication process via GitHub by continously syncing data packages between a GitHub repository and a dfour workspace on each push, on a schedule or by manual trigger
• Backup: Easily add data packages from a workspace to version control and vice versa

• Create an empty folder and add a .gitignore file
• Add the following as .github/workflows/main.yaml
• Add repository secrets

on: push
name: publish to dfour
jobs:
  github-action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    # Upload from repo and fetch data packages in workspace (newer wins)
    - name: sync folder with dfour
      uses: cividi/[email protected]
      with:
        dfour_endpoint: https://sandbox.dfour.space
        dfour_username: ${{ secrets.DFOUR_USERNAME }}
        dfour_password: ${{ secrets.DFOUR_PASSWORD }}
        dfour_workspace: ${{ secrets.DFOUR_WORKSPACE }}
        folder: _out/snapshots # default
    # For committing back downloaded snapshots
    - name: push
      uses: actions-x/commit@v2

• A folder with data packages to be synced (defaults to _out/snapshots)
• Topics and bfsNumbers stored in a dfour.yaml in the same folder

If the folder is empty and hence all snapshots from workspace are downloaded, a dfour.yaml will be created automatically.

Structure of dfour.yaml:

WORKSPACEHASH:
  endpoint: https://sandbox.dfour.space
  snapshots:
    snapshot-name:
      topic: TOPIC
      bfsNumber: 123
