Change port & password in all servers at once?

ozzytom · February 8, 2020, 11:26am

I have one problem with shadowsocks app (Android): the shadowsocks function of my VPN provider sometimes gets disabled on their www, and I need to enable it again. After that the remote port and password are changed.
Currently I have maybe 200 different servers (profiles) in my Shadowsocks app (Android).

Is there a way to change the port and password to the new one in all those servers at once? Maybe some special plugin? Or a different shadowsocks client that can do that?
It is terrible to change those two settings in 200 servers one by one…

Use import/export JSON to do batch editing.

I know about the json function, but how to use it for batch editing? Could you please elaborate?

# Documentation for JSON format

shadowsocks-android accepts processing Shadowsocks configs through JSON files.
This documentation is targeted towards Shadowsocks server maintainers, who might need to distribute server configs through subscription JSON files, which is supported since [v5.0.0](https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-android/releases/tag/v5.0.0).

## `Profile` JSON object

In general, shadowsocks-android respects [the specification at shadowsocks.org](https://shadowsocks.org/en/config/quick-guide.html).
A JSON object is recognized as a `Profile` (i.e. a valid server config), if all of the following required fields are present and valid:

* `server`
* `server_port`
* `password`
* `method`

These fields have the same meaning as specified by shadowsocks.org.
The specification at shadowsocks.org additionally specifies two additional fields, which is not used by shadowsocks-android:

* `local_port`: This field is configured globally through "SOCKS5 proxy port".
* `timeout`: This field is hardcoded to 600 in shadowsocks-android (however, it is only used as a write timeout, so long idle connections like GMS heartbeat are allowed).
