[BUG] Multiple Hosts + Solution Wrapper Script

[Ramalama2]

If you backup multiple wled instances, your executable dumps always the last instance:

# ./scripts/wled-backup_linux_x64 export --hosts=wled-zimmer.user.mydomain.eu,wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu --outputDir=/root/Backups/WLED

Output:

Downloading config for host 'wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu'
Downloading config for host 'wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu'
Downloading presets for host 'wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu'
Downloading presets for host 'wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu'

Written Files:

# ls -l Backups/WLED/
total 18
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2080 May 10 12:25 wled-buero.config.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5880 May 10 12:25 wled-buero.presets.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2080 May 10 12:25 wled-zimmer.config.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5880 May 10 12:25 wled-zimmer.presets.json

• As you see it dumps wled-buero, as wled-zimmer.

• It doesn't matter if i use the IP or Hostname.

• Workaroud Script

#/bin/bash

Backup_DIR=/root/Backups/WLED
wled_backup_exec=/root/scripts/wled-backup_linux_x64
currtime=$(TZ="Europe/Berlin" date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M")

# Array of hosts
hosts=("wled-buero.user.mydomain.eu" "wled-zimmer.user.mydomain.eu")

# Loop over each host
for host in "${hosts[@]}"; do
  # Extract the host name from the full address
  host_name=$(echo "$host" | cut -d'.' -f1)

  # Execute the backup
  $wled_backup_exec export --hosts="$host" --outputDir="$Backup_DIR"

  # Rename the configuration and presets files
  mv "$Backup_DIR/$host_name.config.json" "$Backup_DIR/${currtime}_$host_name.config.json"
  mv "$Backup_DIR/$host_name.presets.json" "$Backup_DIR/${currtime}_$host_name.presets.json"
done

• The script will rename the files additionally to include a timestamp. I need that anyway to dump daily with a cronjob the Backups into the same directory.

Since i found it a bit stupid to use an 5.8mb executable for that task, ill did it with a simple bash script:
