This is a script for uploading images/folder of images to a Trovebox (https://github.com/photo) server.
- Python 2.7
- Trovebox Python Library
Install the Trovebox Python Library
pip install trovebox
Clone the repo or just download the file trovebox-uploader.py
git clone https://github.com/endast/trovebox_uploader.git
First make sure you have specified the credentials
file in ~/.config/trovebox/default
# ~/.config/trovebox/default
host = your.host.com
consumerKey = your_consumer_key
consumerSecret = your_consumer_secret
token = your_access_token
tokenSecret = your_access_token_secret
for more info see https://github.com/photo/openphoto-python/
Simplest use case, just upload the specified image or folder of images (If the target is a folder only the top level files will be uploaded, for sub folders use -r):
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder
Adding the tags 42 and Panic to the image/images:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder -t 42 Panic
Adding the image/images to album Dead_Parrot:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder -a Dead_Parrot
Check if the image is a duplicate before uploading the image to the server, makes an extra request to the server. But can save you time, if you have duplicates in your source. Default off:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder -c
Making the uploaded images public:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder -p
Also upload subfoldrs from folder:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_folder -r
You can of course combine all of the arguments:
python trovebox-uploader.py -i black_knight.jpg -c -p -t pass none shall -a Grail
If you have uploaded a photo but forgot to add a tag/album/permission etc, you can use the -u switch to update the metadata (replacing existing tags and adding albums). Also works for folders.
python trovebox-uploader.py -i already_uploaded_but_no_tags.jpg -c -t Shrubbery Lumberjack -a Silly_Walk
usage: trovebox-uploader.py [-h] -i PATH [-c] [-t TAGS [TAGS ...]]
[-a ALBUMS [ALBUMS ...]] [-p]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i PATH, --input PATH
Path to a file or directory to upload
-c, --check-duplicates-locally
Check for aldready uploaded images locally, increases
number of request to the server, but can increase
speed if you have duplicates in the images you are
uploading.
-t TAGS [TAGS ...], --tags TAGS [TAGS ...]
List of tags to add to the uploaded files
-a ALBUMS [ALBUMS ...], --albums ALBUMS [ALBUMS ...]
Albums to add the images to
-p, --public Make the images uploaded public, default False
-r, --recursive Also upload subfolders if target is a folder, default False
-u, --update-metadata
Also update metadata for images aldready uploaded. (Tags, albums, etc)
Using taskspooler you can queue upload jobs easily:
ts python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder
To check the progress of your uploads just run:
$ ts
ID State Output E-Level Times(r/u/s) Command [run=0/1]
0 running /tmp/ts-out.FdbteW 1 0.14/0.09/0.04 python trovebox-uploader.py -i path_to_image_or_folder
1 queued /tmp/ts-out.KsOrSJ 1 0.13/0.09/0.04 python trovebox-uploader.py -i knight.jpg
2 finished /tmp/ts-out.kjHEMT 1 0.14/0.09/0.04 python trovebox-uploader.py -i knights.jpg -t ni
You can install taskspooler on OSX with homebrew:
brew install task-spooler
