Ok that’s fine I wanted to check if you had it running or not. Running sync_run manually should also work, if you first click on the feeds you wish to download and then run sync_run that should then run through the feeds you wish to download.
Your trick works just fine without using the service runner.
I have now checked all my feeds. There are a few I can’t download. I don’t know if this is related to the issue
you opened in Github. Maybe you could have a quick look. Here are the IDs:
117369
122402
122403
122404
122405
131181
131182
131187
Regarding the dashboards:
At some point you said you are working on it. That’s fine. I just would like to report a message I got
when running the download process from the web interface:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function bind_param() on boolean in /home/pi/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php:344
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/emoncms/core.php(64): sync_controller()
#1 /var/www/emoncms/index.php(189): controller('sync')
#2 {main}
thrown in /home/pi/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php on line 344
Thanks

Would it not make sense to move the service-runner to the emoncms repo? We can expand the emoncms install guide to include the service-runner rather than documenting how to install the whole emonpi repo, setup and use the service-runner in each module repo that uses it.
Yes I think that’s a good idea, it makes sense that it can be used for different self-hosted setups. Perhaps to be reviewed alongside @Paul and your suggestions about wider emoncms installation changes.
When I sync’d with this I got the list of inputs with all the processing lists intact but the feed in each case was the first feed in the feed list. I went through all of the inputs correcting this but now when I display the feeds the waiting symbol appears in the browser and finally the error:
Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/emoncms/Theme/basic/theme.php on line 165
Array.
Also I don’t have either of my multigraphs present, shouldn’t they have copied too?

It looks to me there is a problem downloading feeds if their names contain square brackets.
I have renamed such feeds and now I can download them.
That resolved problem reported in some of my feeds.
I have still a few “ERROR” in Process list. I will try to fix them and report if I can’t.
Thanks

I have fixed all my errors. The dashboards are now working. I was missing the modules…That’s why I was getting an error in “sync_controller.php on line 344”.
A few processes were on “Errors”. I just recreated them.
So far so good…
Thanks

Same here, I couldn’t get the Sync module to Sync the data out, but the Backup module worked great after I deleted the folders & reset the permissions as suggest in the other thread. The Sync module then copied over all the Dashboards correctly, and the Inputs (with Process Lists) mostly OK. I had to manually fix some of the feeds it was logging to for some reason. It’s now seems to logging locally OK, a few days of testing will hopefully confirm all is well.
Hi,
I have setup sync module, and now it appears in Setup area. When I fill up Host, Username, Password and press Connect, then it try to connect and failed with authentication failure. I checked Host, Username and Password in a browser for the remote host and they are correct.
When I check apache error log I can see following PHP warning and errors every time sync module is trying to connect remote host:
PHP Notice: Trying to get property ‘host’ of non-object in /home/emoncms/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php on line 50, referer: https://emoncms.domain.com/sync/view
PHP Notice: Trying to get property ‘apikey_read’ of non-object in /home/emoncms/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php on line 50, referer: https://emoncms.domain.com/sync/view
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(/feed/listwithmeta.json?apikey=): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/emoncms/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php on line 50, referer: https://emoncms.domain.com/sync/view
PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/emoncms/sync/sync-module/sync_controller.php on line 82, referer: https://emoncms.domain.com/sync/view
Looks like sync_controller cannot initialize $remote object properly.
Is there any PHP or PECL modules required for sync module to operate properly for http, as well https remote hosts?

Hello @kazak, is you remote server emoncms version up to date? The /feed/listwithmeta.json end point is relatively recent. Have you also run emoncms database update after installing the sync module?
Hi,
Seems I’ve overlooked database update and sync table is missing. After database updated and sync table in place, everything is OK with sync module now. Thank you!
