WLED Backup (wled-backup)
Simple CLI tool to backup presets & configuration from a WLED device.
Table of Contents
Background
I put a lot of effort in getting my presets right for all of my WLED devices. The cheap ESP8266's I buy from AliExpress aren't resistant to failure however and reflashing WLED on a new ESP means that I would have to recreate my presets from scratch. Luckily WLED's JSON API exposes an endpoint to retrieve your presets & configuration as JSON files.
This tool does nothing more than calling that endpoint and writing it to a file on the system in parallel. This way you can backup your files via e.g a cronjob.
It's also possible to reupload these files across host and syncing the presets if you'd want that. This tool however does not currently support that.
Install
Download the latest release binary for your platform from the releases page. Optionally rename it if you want but this is not required.
Usage
Run the export command and pass a host or a list of (comma separated) hosts.
# A single host
$ ./wled-backup_linux_x64 export --hosts=192.168.1.12
# Multiple hosts
$ ./wled-backup_linux_x64 export --hosts=192.168.1.12,192.168.1.177
# mDNS works too, you can mix and match
$ ./wled-backup_linux_x64 export --hosts=wled-tv.local,192.168.1.177
By default this will output the backup files in the current folder. You can optionally specify an output directory with the --outputDir flag:
$ ./wled-backup_linux_x64 export --hosts=192.168.1.12,192.168.1.177 --outputDir=/home/user/wled_backups
