I have locked myself out of horde) [](#inject-a-user-or-change-his-password-aka--help-i-have-locked-myself-out-of-horde) If your horde authentication backend allows setting passwords through horde ... - SQL Authentication - Some types of LDAP/AD authentication with password change option - Some types of IMAP setup You can change the password for an existing user or inject a new user into horde. This is also useful for automated deployment. You can configure horde to use the SQL backend, migrate up the database schema from zero and inject an admin user. ``` hordectl patch user fritz mysecretpassword ``` Remember, this only works if the auth backend supports it. ### Export resources to a yaml file [](#export-resources-to-a-yaml-file) Exported resources are as backend independent as possible. Some backends may limit Horde's ability to expose every user's resources globally. Data format is similar to the internal representation but may deviate where it's appropriate. For example, groups do not export backend keys. When a permission query has per-group permissions, the group will be referenced by display name. ``` hordectl query user > user.yml hordectl query group > group.yml hordectl query permission > permission.yml ``` These will create individual files for resources. When exporting, order is not important. A syntax for filtering queries or combining resource types into one file is still missing. ### Import definitions from a yaml file [](#import-definitions-from-a-yaml-file) ``` hordectl import -f user.yml hordectl import -f group.yml hordectl import -f permission.yml ``` Order might be significant. Permissions won't accept group permissions for groups which are not present in the system yet. Some backends may be readonly and will not allow adding/changing some resources. See doc dir for detailed explanations of possible input formats and their semantics Intended uses ------------- [](#intended-uses) If you need a verbatim backup, you might be better off with a snapshot of the database and vfs. - Deploy CI/CD scenario content without dependency on DB type or format - Reproduce edge cases to demonstrate bugs - Inject users/groups/perms into an existing or new installation - Demo scenarios - Migrate between backend types Inspirations ------------ [](#inspirations) - yaml and similar formats from config management tools, infrastructure as code, kubectl, helm Will it dump existing content to yaml? -------------------------------------- [](#will-it-dump-existing-content-to-yaml) Yes, it does. For any objects defined. Maybe within some limitations. I don't know. It will evolve as I need it. Will it be a complete backup/restore solution? ---------------------------------------------- [](#will-it-be-a-complete-backuprestore-solution) Likely not. See horde/backup for a different take on dumping/restoring application content. Development notes ----------------- [](#development-notes) ### Builtin commands [](#builtin-commands) help TODO give help on commands in general or on a specific command and its switches and sub commands query output yaml format representations of backend data for which an exporter is either builtin or provided by the app import generate backend data from \[potentially incomplete \] yaml repesentations and builder defaults if builtin or provided by the app patch manipulate resources with one-shot commands. app TODO run app specific commands implemented in your app. ### Health Score 49 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
