The idea behind this software came from the [Permacomputing Update
|
|
|
|
|
2021](http://viznut.fi/texts-en/permacomputing_update_2021.html), especially
|
|
|
|
|
"Chapter 7. A collapse-tolerant business" which is a series of practical
|
|
|
|
|
guidelines. One of which reads as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Self-host everything you need for software work on local physical servers.
|
|
|
|
|
> This includes all networked applications as well as an extensive library of
|
|
|
|
|
> software and documentation (including repair manuals and OS distributions for
|
|
|
|
|
> all relevant hardware). Offer hosting services to make use of the surplus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Which lead us to think about an application where one can upload and download
|
|
|
|
|
manuals and datasheets for everything in [Varia](https://varia.zone).

## Hacking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p datasheets # fill with https://vvvvvvaria.org/~crunk/datasheets.zip
|
|
|
|
|
go run go-sh-manymanuals.go
|
|
|
|
|
```

## Road Map, Get it going, Change while we learn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make it able to search multiple directories filled with pdfs
|
|
|
|
|
- Make it able to up/download pdfs
|
|
|
|
|
- I made a config where you can set a share and downloads folder much like p2p sharing programs.
|
|
|
|
|
- go-sh-manymanuals could be both a client and server program at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
- You can download off big servers.
|
|
|
|
|
- You can download off each other locally.
|
|
|
|
|
- It should keep track of what you already have, because doubles are the big pain in PDF's/filesharing in general
|
|
|
|
|
- Maybe in the future, entire folders can be synced between you and current connected server.
|
|
|
|
|
- Make it able to index those pdfs into the search.
|
|
|
|
|
- Improve the layout.
