NoseRub

Right from the beginning of this project, we wanted the following to work:

1. You open an account on Identoo.com and add contacts and web accounts


2. You install NoseRub on your own server and import all your data from the Identoo.com account


3. Afterwards, all the people who added you as a contact, will seamlessly get your new profile URL

With NoseRub 0.6 we're now able to do this!

First of all, you export all your data on Identoo.com. You will find this tools in the menu Settings and there at Manage:


You will receive a JSON file with all your contacts, accounts and profile data. On your own server, you then simply import this file:


NoseRub then parses that file and displays, what you're about to import. If you confirm, all those contacts, web accounts and profile data is imported. Afterwards, you can use your new NoseRub installation, just as you did on Identoo.com.

In order to tell all your contacts, that you moved your profile, you then go back to Identoo.com and set a redirect to your new profile:


You now even can delete your account on Identoo and the redirect will still work.

We have to admit, that the whole redirect thing is currently not 100% perfect. We will change that and then, all the people who have you as contact, will not only be redirected to your new account, but also see your new profile url as their contact.

So, what means your data to you?
