Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • add username and timestamp to sqlite user export, similar to the ZIP export. Useful for archiving purposes.

How to test the feature manually:

  1. Go to http://localhost:8080/i/?c=importExport
  2. Export Sqlite at the end of the page
  3. Verify that the filename is freshrss_[username]_[date exported]_db.sqlite

Pull request checklist:

  • clear commit messages
  • code manually tested
  • unit tests written (optional if too hard)
  • documentation updated

Additional information can be found in the documentation.

Hello and thanks for your PR. At a quick glance, this would break existing features. The idea is to be able to download multiple versions:

I understand that your PR is for the case of an SQLite setup with only the main file and no back-up, but we need to address the case of back-ups and other databases. I am taking a little look now.

By the way, it would be very nice to also be able to trigger back-ups from the Web UI. The challenge is to account for servers with limited resources and potentially many users. Help welcome:

  • PR 1 (would be enough to have the settings in config.php for now and without UI):
    • Setting to allow running automatic export to SQLite
    • Setting to limit the number of kept past SQLite exports
    • Setting to chose the max DB size to allow SQLite export from Web UI
  • Later PR
    • Mechanism to import an SQLite backup from Web UI (would first require some discussions)
  • Later PR
    • Mechanism to ask for an SQLite export, which will be done at the next cron run, useful for larger DBs for which the Web UI could be problematic

Thanks @Alkarex it's working fine. I've never seen more than one file, so I was not aware of that possibility.
