    You can click here to download the source code.
    Download the latest code and decompress:

    git clone https://github.com/tencentyun/vod-migrate.git
    cd vod-migrate
    python setup.py install
    

    Example

    Run the following command:

    vodmigrate config.toml
    
    Note:

    After the migration is completed, the result will be output to the directory corresponding to the configuration item migrateResultOutputPath, and the filename will be vod_migrate_result.txt.

    Configuration Files

    The configuration file is in TOML format (for more information, please see config_template.toml. Make sure that the file is encoded in UTF-8). Configure the following file content:

    1. Configure the migration type

    type indicates the migration type, which is filled in by users based on their migration needs. For example, to migrate local data to VOD, users need to configure type=migrateLocal for [migrateType].

    [migrateType]
    type="migrateLocal"
    

    Currently, the following migration types are supported:

    migrateType Description
    migrateLocal From local system to VOD
    migrateUrl From download URL to VOD
    migrateCos From Tencent Cloud COS to VOD
    migrateAws From AWS S3 to VOD
    migrateAli From Alibaba Cloud OSS to VOD
    migrateQiniu From Qiniu Kodo to VOD

    2. Configure the migration task

    You can configure a migration task based on your actual needs, including information for the destination VOD and task-related configurations.

    # Common configuration for the migration tool
    [common]
    secretId = "SECRETID"
    secretKey = "SECRETKEY"
    region = 'REGION'
    subAppId = 0
    concurrency = 5
    supportMediaClassification = [ 'video', 'audio', 'image' ]
    excludeMediaType = [  ]
    migrateDbStoragePath = ''
    migrateResultOutputPath = ''

    File type description:

    • Video: MP4, TS, FLV, WMV, ASF, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, MOV, WEBM, MKV, and AVI. HLS and DASH are not supported.

    3. Configure the data source

    Configure each section according to the migration type described in [migrateType]. For example, if the configuration item of [migrateType] is type=migrateLocal, you only need to configure the [migrateLocal] section.

    3.1 Configure a local data source migrateLocal

    If you migrate a local file to VOD, configure this section. The specific configuration items and descriptions are as follows:

    Configuration Item Description
    localPath Local path, which should be an absolute path
    excludes Absolute path of the directory to be excluded, which means that some files in the directory at localPath are not to be migrated

    Restrictions

    • The tool is designed as a one-time migration tool. The migration has three stages: origin server file scanning, migrating, and migration completed. After the file scan is completed, if the configuration needs to be changed, the db file must be cleared (i.e., deleting migrate.db or modifying the db storage path) to avoid errors with configuration file MD5 verification.
    • The migrated files must be displayed with the file extension.
    • HLS/DASH files cannot be migrated currently.
    • After the migration, the directory relationship between the original videos cannot be maintained, and each video has an independent FileId, all of which are not related to each other.

    Migration Process

    1. The configuration file is read, the corresponding configuration section is read according to the migration type, and parameters are checked.
    2. The origin server is scanned according to the migration type, and migration tasks are generated.
    3. After the scan is completed, the migration is performed, and the results of each task and the overall progress are printed.
    4. After the migration is completed, the details are output to the result file.
