# Uploading from browser or email client
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternative approach came to mind to directly upload from a browser
|
||
|
|
or email client that at least works on a Linux system. In case this is
|
||
|
|
interesting for others, I'd like to share it here.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
1. Create and activate a source in your collective (in this example
|
||
|
|
MYCOLL); note that path to the file upload (the one with
|
||
|
|
`/api/v1/open/upload/item/`)
|
||
|
|
2. Create a file `docspell-upload-MYCOLL` with the following content (replace `UPLOAD_PATH` with the actual path):
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
logger -t docspell_upload -- Docspell upload to MYCOLL: "$*" $(
|
||
|
|
curl -s -XPOST -F file=@"$1" UPLOAD_PATH
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
3. Make it executable: `chmod 755 docspell-upload-MYCOLL`
|
||
|
|
4. Create a file named `docspell-MYCOLL.desktop` with the following
|
||
|
|
content (note that you need the full path to
|
||
|
|
`docspell-upload-MYCOLL`):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
||
|
|
Exec=PATH_TO_docspell-upload-MYCOLL %F
|
||
|
|
MimeType=application/pdf;application/x-zip;application/x-zip-compressed;application/zip
|
||
|
|
Name=Docspell Upload (MYCOLL)
|
||
|
|
NoDisplay=true
|
||
|
|
Type=Application
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
5. Place the file `docspell-MYCOLL.desktop` in
|
||
|
|
`$HOME/.local/share/applications/`
|
||
|
|
6. Configure your browser or mail-reader actions for pdf and zip: They
|
||
|
|
should always ask what to do rather than opening a link or
|
||
|
|
attachment with the standard application or save it to disk by
|
||
|
|
default. Actually, always opening a pdf in the browser is fine, if
|
||
|
|
this allows to later save the viewed file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, when clicking on a file link or attachment, the browser or email
|
||
|
|
client should ask what to do. You then should be able to choose
|
||
|
|
"Docspell Upload (MYCOLL)" from the list, which will upload the file
|
||
|
|
to your collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If anything goes wrong, you can monitor the server response with the
|
||
|
|
command `journalctl -f -t docspell_upload`
|
