P2Pic

Share pictures with family and friends, directly from your computer to their computer or digital photo frame, no servers in between.

Install

npm -g i p2pic

Usage

Sharing local folders

Add local folders to make available for sharing:

p2pic-config add-local /full/path/to/a/directory

Check the configuration:

p2pic-config show

Each folder you added has its own corresponding key. Share those keys with the people who should mirror the folders.

Note: other people can only see the content of the folders for which they have the keys.

Start sharing:

p2pic

Pipe the output into pino-pretty for human-readable logs (p2pic | pino-pretty).

Any changes you make to the local folders while p2pic is running will be reflected on all machines mirroring them.

Note: Hyperdrive keeps track of history, so double check which files you add to these folders before adding them.

Viewing remote folders

CLI-support is coming. For now, manually edit the config file at ~/.p2pic/config.json, adding entries to the remoteFolders key:

"remoteFolders": {
    "<drivekey>": { "targetPath": "/full/path/to/p2pic-remotes/remoteCopy" }
 }

The target path must include 'p2pic' somewhere in its name. This somewhat protects users from accidentally deleting important files (syncronising from a remote directory includes deleting all files in the target directory that are not present on the remote. So you would not want to sync to your home directory...)
