# Export OpenMemory data from a running Docker container without relying on API endpoints.
# Produces: memories.json + memories.jsonl.gz zipped as memories_export_<USER_ID>.zip
#
# Requirements:
# - docker available locally
# - The target container has Python + SQLAlchemy and access to the same DATABASE_URL it uses in prod
#
# Usage:
#   ./export_openmemory.sh --user-id <USER_ID> [--container <NAME_OR_ID>] [--app-id <UUID>] [--from-date <epoch_secs>] [--to-date <epoch_secs>]
#
# Notes:
# - USER_ID is the external user identifier (e.g., "vikramiyer"), not the internal UUID.
# - If --container is omitted, the script uses container name "openmemory-openmemory-mcp-1".
# - The script writes intermediate files to /tmp inside the container, then docker cp's them out and zips locally.
