# Introduction
This script is made for cleaning up the consumption directory used for
the consumedir service (as it is provided as docker container)which
are copied or moved there.
<https://github.com/eikek/docspell/tree/master/tools/consumedir-cleaner>
## How it works
- Checks for every file (in the collective's folder of the given user
name) if it already exists in the collective (using Docspell's API).
- If so, by default those files are moved to an archive folder just
besides the collective's consumption folders named _archive. The
archive's files are organized into monthly subfolders by the date
they've been added to Docspell
- If set, those files can also be deleted instead of being moved to
the archive. There is no undo function provided for this, so be
careful.
- If a file is found which does not exist in the collective, by
default nothing happens, so that file would be found in every run
and just ignored
- If set, those files can also be uploaded to Docspell. Depending on
the setting for files already existing these files would either be
deleted or moved to the archive in the next run.
## Usage (parameters / settings)
Copy the script to your machine and run it with the following
parameters:
1. URL of Docspell, including http(s)
2. Username for Docspell, possibly including Collective (if other name
as user)
3. Password for Docspell
4. Path to the directory which files shall be checked against
existence in Docspell
Additionally, environment variables can be used to alter the behavior:
- `DS_CC_REMOVE`
- `true` delete files which already exist in the collective
- `false` (default) - move them to the archive (see above)
- `DS_CC_UPLOAD_MISSING`
- `true` - uploads files which do not exist in the collective
- `false` (default) - ignore them and do nothing
