🔥hearth🔥

hearth is a redundant storage application. It's for the media enthusiasts and the doomsday soothesayers.

Features

• Back up all of your media among several storage devices.
• Synchronize data between different devices so you're free to erase and reuse those devices for new media
• Find data discrepancies and differences between devices, and even list storage capacities overall and by device
• Plug in different storage types (HDDs, flash storage, NAS, etc.) and treat them all as a single storage type

Alternate names to consider (keep hearth for now)

• Boss
• CeBu (CEntralized BackUp)

TODO

• Add commands:
  • Add - add storage stuff
    • Devices to track
    • Root directories to track
  • Remove - remove storage stuff
    • Devices to track
    • Root directories to track
  • Search
    • Devices
    • Directories
    • Files
  • Stats
    • Total capacity
    • Capacity per storage device
    • Capacity per unique root directory
  • Run GraphQL server daemon
  • Stop GraphQL server daemon
• Call 'root directory' some fancy name
  • project?
  • clustering?
  • entity?

hearth's Issues

Track root directories to sync and corresponding storage devices to poll from

As title states.

We'll use a YAML in the home directory for now to store both master/backup devices and locations.

We also need to be able to add, edit, and delete this save points. These will directly interface with the YAML file.

Implement sync for out-of-sync directories

As title states. This will finalize the goals for this project!

Create basic CLI (containing basic requirements)

The following options need to be supported:

• list - Can enumerate storage devices in a system
• compare - Can deep compare (at least) two directory structures in a system
• sync - Can deep synchronize (at least) two directory structures in a system

Implement custom dircmp

filecmp.dircmp by default does a shallow comparison between files in a recursive directory diff. For synchronizing two or more directories, that means lots of false negatives (as copies won't register).
