This script fetches all of your photos from a Trovebox host and stores them into text files which can then be easily imported into another Trovebox host.
The only dependency you need is the trovebox module (repository on Github).
sudo pip install trovebox
git clone git://github.com/photo/export-openphoto.git
mkdir export-openphoto
wget -O export-openphoto/fetch.py https://raw.github.com/photo/export-openphoto/master/fetch.py --no-check-certificate
Click the link below and save the file into a directory named export-openphoto.
https://raw.github.com/photo/export-openphoto/master/fetch.py
For full access to your photos, you need to create the following config file in ~/.config/trovebox/default
# ~/.config/trovebox/default
host = your.host.com
consumerKey = your_consumer_key
consumerSecret = your_consumer_secret
token = your_access_token
tokenSecret = your_access_token_secret
The --config commandline option lets you specify a different config file.
To get your credentials:
- Log into your Trovebox site
- Click the arrow on the top-right and select 'Settings'
- Click the 'Create a new app' button
- Click the 'View' link beside the newly created app
Start a terminal and enter the following.
cd export-openphoto
python fetch.py
Now the script gets to work downloading the information for your photos. It doesn't download the actual photos so it should be relatively fast.

Now you've got a bunch of text files. These can be fed into our import tool to transfer all of your photos into your Trovebox account.
Don't worry, we'll have a nice web based GUI for all of this soon :).
