How to copy a remote oJob

If you want to run locally an YAML/JSON from a remote site, like oJob.io, you can execute:

ojob ojob.io/get job=ojob.io/es/export > exportFromES.yaml

This will create a local exportFromES.yaml file that, when you run it, will be the exact functionality as ojob.io/es/export.

But if you are in an internet-less network and you might not have the necessary ElasticSearch oPack? You have two options: manually download the oPack from https://openaf.io/opacks/ElasticSearch.opack OR user the ‘airgap=true’ option.

AirGap option

The airgap option will try to download all the necessary files for you to run the oJob mentioned in the option “job=” in an Internet-less/offline environment. You should start by creating an empty folder:

mkdir export

ojob ojob.io/get job=ojob.io/es/export airgap=true

This will create, in the current folder (e.g. export), a copy of ojob.io/es/export as “ojob.io_es_export.yaml” and a subfolder with the ElasticSearch oPack.

Everytime you use the “airgap=true” option the ojob.io/get will try to determine all oPacks that you might need, download them and write in the current folder.

In the end you just have to pack the current folder (e.g. zip it, create a tgz, etc…) a transport the contents to your target system.
