🌿 What is Catnap

I created Catnap🌿 (originally known as Catnip) as a playful, simple system-information concatenation tool using nim👑. It is quite customizable and has possibilities to alter the names and colors of the statistics. In the future, I also intend to add more distribution logos. Feel free to contribute to the project at any time.

catnap's Issues

[Feature]: Caching Functionality

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Some stats are very Resource Intensive and take a lot longer to load then others

Describe the solution you'd like:

Implement a Caching functionality so that the CPU stat for example, isn't fetched every time but only when explicitly reloading the Cache.

Additional context:

Would also be useful to add cmd args for re-fetching the cache or for deleting it..

[Change]: Add more and better comments

Is your change request related to a problem? Please describe:

When revisiting the Projekt after some time, IT often Takes some time to dig throu the Code and figure Out what it Dose.

Describe what you want to change:

Adding more and better comments might Help.

[Bug]: imageMode not displaying images

Describe the bug:

imageMode not working/displaying images

Screenshots:

catnip





config.toml

Device:

• OS: Arch Linux
• WM: BSPWM

Additional context:

I saw this systemfetch from Spelljinxer's dot where he/she was able to display images using catnip, so I tried using imageMode with the exact same image but the only display I get is the distro.


I already have all dependencies installed including viu.








Tried to enabled figlet and disabled imageMode to see if it's the same case for figlet, but there were no problems with it.





So far everything works fine except the imageMode.

[Bug]: Can't use custom location for distros.toml?

Describe the bug:

When using catnip -c, you can only include a custom path to the config.toml, so distros.toml cannot be moved to another location other than ~/.config/catnip/

Screenshots:

Device:

• OS: Arch Linux
• DE/WM: dwl
• TERMINAL: foot

[Feature]: Configurable line separators

Great little fetch tool, love the simplicity and ease of configuration.

Would love a feature where simply by adding a line to the configuration to indicate as such, users can add a line break similar to the separator between the stats and colors.

Example:

[stats]
username = {icon = " ", name = "user", color = "(RD)"}
hostname = {icon = "󰐝 ", name = "hname", color = "(YW)"}
desktop  = {icon = " ", name = "desktp", color = "(CN)"}
linebreak
distro   = {icon = " ", name = "distro", color = "(GN)"}
kernel   = {icon = " ", name = "kernel", color = "(MA)"}
#desktop  = {icon = " ", name = "desktp", color = "(CN)"}
#terminal = {icon = " ", name = "term", color = "(RD)"}
shell    = {icon = " ", name = "shell", color = "(MA)"}
cpu      = {icon = " ", name = "cpu", color = "(RD)"}
disk     = {icon = " ", name = "disk", color = "(GN)"}
memory   = {icon = " ", name = "memory", color = "(YW)"}
uptime   = {icon = " ", name = "uptime", color = "(BE)"}
colors   = {icon = " ", name = "colors", color = "!DT!", symbol = ""}

[Question]:Unable to display images in cool-retro-term terminals

Ask your Question:

In kitty terminal, the pictures in the configuration file can be displayed normally, but in cool-retro-term, the pictures will not be displayed, and the pictures can be displayed normally by using viu to output them in the terminal, but they can not be displayed in cool-retro-term when using catnip command.

Additional context:

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

New Feature: Image mode

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to define a image file to be displayed as logo. This feature is present in many fetch programs like neofetch.

Additional context

[Bug]: Build check failing because of API ratelimit

Describe the bug:

In PR #76 by @yu-kiat, a build check failed because of API ratelimit.

Additional context:

Should be an easy fix..

Change: Better way of setting the stat field in a Stats object

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment there is a set function for each stat field inside the Stats object.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to find a better way of setting the fields then defining a function for each stat.

New Feature: More stats

More stats:

• PKG manager
• PKG count
• Memory
• CPU
• Disk space
• Terminal

Bug: Nothing displayed when Statblock is to short

Describe the bug

When the Stats block is shorter then the ascii logo, nothing is displayed.

Screenshots

New Feature: Add Tests

Describe the solution you'd like

Some sort of Tests would be nice in order to test the whole functionality of catnip before pushing.

Additional context

I don't know shit about testing... ;)

[Bug]: catnip -g is broken

[BUG] "catnip.1.gz already exists" after subsequent nim install

I get a prompt whenever I nim install again after the first time.
gzip: /home/pi/catnip/docs/catnip.1.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y
An extra step that I am not sure is needed.

New Feature: Comandline arg for using figletLogo mode without changing the config

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a Commandline arg for using figletLogo mode without changing the config.
For example: -f or --figlet

[Bug]: fatal.nim(54) sysFatal [catnip builds incorrectly and fails to run.]

Describe the bug:

Fresh repo-clone, building catnip results in a warning and fails to run after completion.

Screenshots:

Device:

• OS: Linux (Debian 12)
• WM: Headless

[Feature]: Weather stat

Describe the solution you'd like:

A stat that Displays the Werther based on your IP geolocation, would be a fun Feature to have..

New Feature: Add command line arg to change which config file to use

Describe the solution you'd like
Ccommand line arg to change which config file to use.

Example

$ catnip -c custom_config.toml

Change/Question: Remove windows support

Question

I'm not sure if it is necessary to continue the support for windows. Who the fuck uses a system-fetch tool on windows or uses windows in general. ;)

So maybe it is a good idea to remove the windows support and go linux only?

Change: Cleanup Stat system

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Stat system is not very well designed, you have to define way to much stuff in order to create a new stat.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a stat system where it is very simple to create a new stat.
For example: Only define a function and add a stat name to some list.

[Feature]: Implement a way to define the order fo the stats

Describe the solution you'd like:

It would be nice if you could define the order of the stats by just changing the order in the config file.

formatting config.toml kills the app

Describe the bug

Using a formatter for the .toml file kills the app

Screenshots

This works fine

However this doesn't

Device:

• OS: Linux
• WM: KDE Plasma 6

Change: Split distroart objects into different file

Describe the solution you'd like
Split distroart objects into different file.
~/.config/catnip/distros.toml

could not load: libpcre.so

after successful build i got an error when run catnip from bin: could not load: libpcre.so(.3|.1|)
(compile with -d:nimDebugDlOpen for more information)

[Bug]: Execution time increased by package count stat

What version of Catnip are you running?

Commit a7eecc7

Describe the bug:

Usually, Catnip on my system executes in 0.014 seconds. However, once 6eabc96 was merged, the execution time increases to a hefty 0.509 seconds. This is because it takes some time to get the package count. However, once I disable the package count stat by commenting it out in the config.toml, the execution time is still the same, at 0.508 seconds.

Screenshots:

Nil.

Device:

• OS: Alpine Linux
• DE/WM: dwm
• TERMINAL: st

Additional context:

I believe that even though the stat is commented out, Catnip still gets the value of the stat and just doesn't display it. Could Catnip be changed so that it doesn't grab the values of the stats that are commented out? This will decrease the execution time.

New Feature: Config options for layout

Config options for layout, for example:

• Option to display the Logo on top of the stats
• Nitch style option, to use ascii art text as logo
• Option to display the stats on top of the Logo.
  Stuff like that..

[Change]: About the title

Hello, this may sound strange, but it's about the title. Catnip is a cool name, but unfortunately it's not original. Here's https://github.com/noriah/catnip project with a similar name and it wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a terminal sound visualiser application. So because of the same names it is impossible to run the application normally in terminal (if both are present in the system). Moreover, for example yay in Arch, thinks that your catnip-git application package conflicts with the catnip visualiser package, so it suggests replacing one with the other and nothing works. I'm not urging you to change the name, but maybe it's worth contacting the developer of the other application and negotiating this? And then we will get two really cool terminal applications.

Bug: DistroId list overflows help msg

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The distroid list inside the help message overflows.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make the distroid list some how wrap around when it overflows.

New Feature: Choose which stats to display

Make it possible for the user to choose which stats to display:

Everything that is commented should not be displayed.

[stats]
username = {icon = "> ", name = "user", color = "(RD)"}
hostname = {icon = "> ", name = "hname", color = "(YW)"}
uptime   = {icon = "> ", name = "uptime", color = "(BE)"}
distro   = {icon = "> ", name = "distro", color = "(GN)"}
# kernel   = {icon = "> ", name = "kernel", color = "(MA)"}
desktop  = {icon = "> ", name = "desktp", color = "(CN)"}
shell    = {icon = "> ", name = "shell", color = "(RD)"}
# colors   = {icon = "> ", name = "colors", color = "!DT!", symbol = "#"}

[Bug]: apt warning on runtime.

Describe the bug:

When run on a system that runs apt (debian/ubuntu), running catnip will cause apt's warning to appear at every call.
Avoiding using apt commands should resolve this. Dpkg should provide a "stable CLI". (#7 (comment))

Bug: RPI OS is not autodetected

Describe the bug
RPI OS is not autodetected because the /etc/os-release ID is "debian".

Solution
Check for "/boot/issue.txt" and if it exists, set distroid to "raspbian".

Change: Create logging system insted of echo "ERROR: ..."

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a logging system insted of using echo "ERROR: ..."

New Config Option: Set font for figletLogos

Add the option for the user to choose the font to use when generating a figletLogo.
The figletLogos code is located in fetch.nim

[Feature]: Probe GPU Info

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

No, not a problem - just an enhancement.

Describe the solution you'd like:

Add an additional stat, gpu to round out the basic system specs already available (cpu, memory, disk space).

Additional context:

I would think the 'best' solution would be to pull from a shell output of lspci | grep VGA, strip off the basic start & end of the result, and display. e.g.

09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070] (rev a1)
becomes
NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070]

Could also apply some further cleanup to this but that might become complicated (I haven't looked at the output variances of other GPUs, can't comment).

Furthermore, on the edge case that someone has multiple dedicated GPUs (so the above shell command returns multiple lines), you could just utilize the same system you're using for disks, ala gpu_0, gpu_1, etc.

I'm not familiar with nim, so unsure how difficult this actually is - apologies if unrealistic!

[Feature]: Multiple disks

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

I would love to see the disk stat of multiple defined disks, instead of only the internal disk.

Example:
I got the internal disk which is 32 GB, and two external drives which I would like to see the disk stat of.

Describe the solution you'd like:

In config.toml, add a few commented-out placeholder entries like disk0-disk5, disk0 being the current disk entry.
Further, in that same config file, allow specifications of the disks to show. Either mountpoint or device name, whatever works.

[disk.mountpoints]
disk0 =
disk1 =
disk2 =
disk3 =
disk4 =
disk5 =

Change: config.toml - Handle aliases inside main distroart.

Currently, aliases are made by adding an extra-entry to the config.toml file.
Would it be possible to handle those inline of the main distroart?

Example

Before:

    [distroart.raspbian]
    margin = [2, 2, 3]
    art    = [
        "{GN}  __  __   ",
        "{GN} (_\\)(/_)  ",
        "{RD} (_(__)_)  ",
        "{RD}(_(_)(_)_) ",
        "{RD} (_(__)_)  ",
        "{RD}   (__)    "
    ]

    [distroart.raspberrypios]
    alias = "raspbian"

After:

    [distroart.raspbian]
    margin = [2, 2, 3]
    alias  = "raspberrypios, alias2, alias3"
    art    = [
        "{GN}  __  __   ",
        "{GN} (_\\)(/_)  ",
        "{RD} (_(__)_)  ",
        "{RD}(_(_)(_)_) ",
        "{RD} (_(__)_)  ",
        "{RD}   (__)    "
    ]

Feature: Github Actions for aur package

Describe the solution you'd like

Would be nice to have a easy way of installation via aur.

New Feature: Handle “desktop” stat when no desktop is installed.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not an issue, but I would love to see proper handling when a Linux setup doesn't have a desktop environment.
Currently, in my situation, a minimal Raspberry Pi OS is only accessible via it's shell, so the desktop stat should state one of those:
— “Shell”
— “Headless”
— Don't show desktop at all.

This should apply to any other shell-only Linux setup as well.

[Feature]: Add build number

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

When working with two different versions of catnip while developing it is sometimes hard to tell, which version is which.

Describe the solution you'd like:

The idea is to use a Gituhb action to automatically set a BUILD_NUMBER variable inside the definitions.nim file.
When running catnip with -h it will show the build number.

Additional context:

I don't now how Github actions work...

Follow up: New Feature: Handle “desktop” stat when no desktop is installed.

Unsure if that worked, Raspberry Pi OS installation still reports "Unknown"
