Mastodon Backup and Search

body

I like to have a local copy of the toots I wrote and that mention me, for backup purposes and to search them. To this end, I use https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-backup.

The shell script to do the backup: 

mkdir -p ~/Documents/Mastodon/
cd ~/Documents/Mastodon/ || exit

accounts=brab@framapiaf.org

echo Archive Statuses, Favourites, Mentions
for acc in $accounts; do
    echo "$acc"
    mastodon-archive archive --with-mentions "$acc"
    mastodon-archive media --collection favourites "$acc"
done

git add .
git commit -m "Mastodon Backup"

The shell script to do the search: 

cd ~/Documents/Mastodon/ || exit
mastodon-archive text --collection all brab@framapiaf.org "$@"
