rackup

Installation & Usage

To install, run pip install rackup. To use, run rackup. Additional arguments may be specified. Run rackup --help for more information.

Authentication

In a ".rackspace" file in your home folder, specify your Rackspace username and API Key. See the sample file for the proper format.

Configuration options

When you run rackup, it will look in the current directory for a ".rackup" file that defines the options for syncing. See the sample file for the proper format. This file is optional, though some command line arguments will be required if it is not present.

You may define:

• "region" to set the data center to use; one of 'IAD', 'ORD', 'DFW' or 'SYD'
• "container" to choose which Cloud Files container to sync to; if not present, you must pass this in as the first argument to the command
• "exclude" to specify patterns to not upload

OS X Notification Center

rackup will attempt to alert you via Notification Center when it is completed. To enable this feature, you need pyobjc; run pip install pyobjc to install.
