Dcent Archiver

Archive files into a hyperdrive.

Use only for files which do not change, such as images or video.

Description

This tool adds all files in a directory to a hyperdrive. After the files are added, they can be deleted (they will remain available from the hyperdrive).

There is a delay of 10 minutes before a file is added to the hyperdrive. Once a file is added, it will never be added again, so for files which change (such as a document which is updated), only the first version will be archived. The exception is when a file is updated during the grace period of 10 minutes.

Install

npm i -g dcent-archiver

Usage

Parameters are passed in as environment variables. Optional parameters include:

DCENT_ARCHIVER_CORESTORE=my/corestore/loc # Defaults to ~/.dcent-archiver
DCENT_ARCHIVER_LOG_LEVEL=debug # defaults to info. See pino docs for the options.

CLI

DCENT_ARCHIVER_DIR=/dir/to/watch/ dcent-archiver | pino-pretty

Note: piping the output into pino-pretty is optional, but shows human-readable logs. Run npm i -g pino-pretty to install it.
