A bash script is provided to quickly upload files from the command line. It reads a configuration file containing the URLs to upload to. Then each file given to the script will be uploaded to al URLs in the config.

The config file is expected in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/docspell/ds.conf. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config.

The config file contains lines with key-value pairs, separated by a = sign. Lines starting with # are ignored. Example:

# Config file
url.1 = http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/5DxhjkvWf9S-CkWqF3Kr892-WgoCspFWDo7-XBykwCyAUxQ
url.2 = http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/6DxhjkvWf9S-CkWqF3Kr892-WgoCspFWDo7-XBykwCyAUxQ

The key must start with url. The urls should be anonymous upload urls.

Usage

• The -c option allows to specifiy a different config file.
• The -h option shows a help overview.
• The -d option deletes files after upload was successful
• The -e option can be used to check for file existence in docspell. Instead of uploading, the script only checks whether the file is in docspell or not.

The script takes a list of files as arguments.

Example:

./ds.sh ~/Downloads/*.pdf
