To backup running QEMU/KVM machine I use script made by Daniel Berteaud. I've installed it in this way:

cd /usr/local/sbin/
wget "http://gitweb.firewall-services.com/?p=virt-backup;a=blob_plain;f=virt-backup;hb=HEAD" -O virt-backup-0.2.17-1.pl
ln -s virt-backup-0.2.17-1.pl virt-backup
chmod u+x virt-backup-0.2.17-1.pl

as you can see current version is 0.2.17-1

There is also a fork of virt-backup: github.com/vazhnov/virt-backup.pl - it's based on some earlier version.

Example command to backup centos-test machine (name shown by virsh list) to /mnt/backups directory.

virt-backup --action=dump --no-snapshot --compress --shutdown --shutdown-timeout=300 --vm=centos-test --backupdir=/mnt/backups

I would like to have light with switch (it should work even without domoticz) but I would like to use power of domoticz also ;-)

In ESP (ESP6) I've devices:

  1. Switch input:
    • name: button
    • IDX: 25
    • 1st GPIO: GPIO16
    • Pull UP: set
    • Inversed: not set
    • Switch Type: Switch
    • Switch Button Type: Push Button Active Low
    • Send Boot state: not set (you can set it if you want)
    • Send Data: set
  2. Switch input
    • name: okno
    • IDX: 23
    • 1st GPIO: GPIO16
    • Pull UP: set
    • Inversed: set
    • Switch Type: Input
    • Switch Button Type: Normal Switch
    • Send Boot state: not set (you can set it if you want)
    • Send Data: set
  3. Switch input
    • name: zlew
    • IDX: 24
    • 1st GPIO: GPIO12
    • Pull UP: set
    • Inversed: set
    • Switch Type: Input
    • Switch Button Type: Normal Switch
    • Send Boot state: not set (you can set it if you want)
    • Send Data: set

In domoticz I've three "On/off" switches:

  • "ESP6-okno"
    • IDX: 23
    • On Action: http://esp6.lan/tools?cmd=GPIO,14,0
    • Off Action: http://esp6.lan/tools?cmd=GPIO,14,1
  • "ESP6-zlew"
    • IDX: 24
    • On Action: http://esp6.lan/tools?cmd=GPIO,12,0
    • Off Action: http://esp6.lan/tools?cmd=GPIO,12,1
  • "ESP6-both"
    • IDX: 25
    • On Action: http://esp6.lan/control?cmd=event,zapal
    • Off Action: http://esp6.lan/control?cmd=event,zgas

ESPeasy Rules:

On button#Switch do
  if [button#Switch]=0.00
    event zgas
  else
    event zapal
  endif
endon

on zapal do
  gpio,12,0
  gpio,14,0
endon

on zgas do
  gpio,12,1
  gpio,14,1
endon

As you can see when ESP6-both is changed I call "rules" from ESP

You can read more about rules in Rules Tutorial.

If you forgot to set-up power policy during container creation you can easy modify it:

docker update --restart=always my-container

you can check it:

docker@docker:~$ docker inspect my-container | grep -A3 "RestartPolicy"
            "RestartPolicy": {
                "Name": "always",
                "MaximumRetryCount": 0
            },

I want to import my pictures tags made in F-Spot (0.8.2) to digiKam (4.10)

I found Roland Geider script but it doesn't work in totay's Linux (differences in DBUS structure): Original F-Spot to digiKam script.

I've made trivial correction (comment-out problematic code) and now script looks like this:

You have to provide collection with the same path like in F-Spot. It can import tags.

If your F-Spot path doesn't exists anymore you have to alter photos.db. In my case some of pictures had path /home/zdjatka and some /mnt/zdjatka, but now all pictures are in the same place /mnt/zdjatka, so I alter path:

cp ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db ~/photos.db
sqlite3 ~/photos.db
update photos \
set base_uri=REPLACE(base_uri, "home", "mnt") \
where base_uri not like "%/mnt/zdjatka%";
update photo_versions \
set base_uri=REPLACE(base_uri, "home", "mnt") \
where base_uri not like "%/mnt/zdjatka%";
.quit

as you can see photos.db is sqlite3 database (usually located at ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db) and I copied file to home directory (not to modify original file).

Assuming you digiKam is initialized in Pictures directory and you have defined collection in same folder as is defined in F-Spot database (photos.db) complete command to convert is:

python fspot_to_digikam.py Pictures --fspot-folder .
