distribusi-go

This is still very experimental, please take a backup of your archives if you are running it on files you care about. It hasn't been tested on large archives. There are probably some pretty bad bugs lurking in there. It may still thrash files. Please report issues as you find them 💯 Thanks for testing!

A Go implementation of distribusi.

If you're migrating from the Python version or have experience using it, here are the differences in distribusi-go:

• This is a compiled distribusi which is simpler to install on your computer, just download the binary, chmod +x and run it.

• There is no need to install Pillow for handling images, that is now built-in. The only external dependency is exiftool for image captions from embedded metadata. If you don't have exiftool installed, then it gracefully skips that feature. So, you don't need to install anything else to run distribusi now 🙏

• The command-line interface is quite different. There are less optional flags and more defaults. I shuffled a number of things around according to my preferences (open to changes, please open a ticket). For example, I always like my images to be thumbnail'd. There's a handy web server built-in now, just run with -s 🤘

Install

curl https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/decentral1se/distribusi-go/raw/branch/main/distribusi -o distribusi
chmod +x distribusi
./distribusi

Quick start

./distribusi -p <path> -s

If you want to ignore certain paths, you can use -i/--ignore:

./distribusi -p <path> -s -i '*.gif'

If you run into issues, run with -d/--debug to see what is happening under the hood.

Hacking

You'll need Go >= 1.11 installed. Run go build . to build a new ./distribusi executable.
