|
The `consumerdir.sh` is a bash script that works in two modes:
|
|
|
|
- Go through all files in given directories (non recursively) and sent
|
|
each to docspell.
|
|
- Watch one or more directories for new files and upload them to
|
|
docspell.
|
|
|
|
It can watch or go through one or more directories. Files can be
|
|
uploaded to multiple urls.
|
|
|
|
Run the script with the `-h` option, to see a short help text. The
|
|
help text will also show the values for any given option.
|
|
|
|
The script requires `curl` for uploading. It requires the
|
|
`inotifywait` command if directories should be watched for new
|
|
files. If the `-m` option is used, the script will skip duplicate
|
|
files. For this the `sha256sum` command is required.
|
|
|
|
Example for watching two directories:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
./tools/consumedir.sh --path ~/Downloads --path ~/pdfs -m -dv http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/5DxhjkvWf9S-CkWqF3Kr892-WgoCspFWDo7-XBykwCyAUxQ
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script by default watches the given directories. If the `-o`
|
|
option is used, it will instead go through these directories and
|
|
upload all files in there.
|
|
|
|
Example for uploading all immediatly (the same as above only with `-o`
|
|
added):
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
./tools/consumedir.sh -o --path ~/Downloads --path ~/pdfs/ -m -dv http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/5DxhjkvWf9S-CkWqF3Kr892-WgoCspFWDo7-XBykwCyAUxQ
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Systemd
|
|
|
|
The script can be used with systemd to run as a service. This is an
|
|
example unit file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
After=networking.target
|
|
Description=Docspell Consumedir
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Environment="PATH=/set/a/path"
|
|
|
|
ExecStart=/bin/su -s /bin/bash someuser -c "consumedir.sh --path '/a/path/' -m 'http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/5DxhjkvWf9S-CkWqF3Kr892-WgoCspFWDo7-XBykwCyAUxQ'"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This unit file is just an example, it needs some fiddling. It assumes
|
|
an existing user `someuser` that is used to run this service. The url
|
|
`http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/...` is an anonymous upload
|
|
url as described [here](../uploading#anonymous-upload).
