How to upload from CLI using tus?

[ldericher]

I found this documentation on how to upload to Sharry using curl.

This is not really suitable for large files (several GiB), as it doesn't leverage the tus protocol.

I tried using tusc and tusc.sh, but couldn't get it to work.

Would appreciate any pointers!

hi @ldericher sorry for the late reply!! So this is currently not possible I think. The tus endpoint is created on each file of a share. So it could work once a share exists -- but currently sharry uses a quite old version of tus - not the current 1.0. So I think getting it to work is not easy. You could look at the js client used in the sharry webapp, perhaps there exists something that works like this.

@eikek

this is currently not possible I think

This bothered me so I've started building a binary crate in Rust to enable sharry upload from CLI … will also push to GH once it's done: https://code.yavook.de/jmm/shrupl

Will ping you once I consider it finished – maybe you'll let me know if you ever plan to change something related to tus ☺

@ldericher very nice, thanks for the effort and info! I'm currently not planning anything for the short term. I would like to upgrade to tus 1.0 (alongside with other changes) at some point but I'm currently too busy to start working on that.

Hey @eikek , I finished what I consider the first working version of what I call "ShrUpl" the sharry upload tool

Although still a bit rough around the edges, mind giving it a go? Download via code.yavook.de, sources: https://code.yavook.de/jmm/shrupl

I'm rather impressed by how it fits into a single packed binary of less than 2 MB, with no lib dependencies at all 👍

hi @ldericher that looks nice, thanks for providing it! When I try it to upload to my instance, I get this error:

Welcome to ShrUpl!
Error! probably wrong: URL – "io: failed to lookup address information: Name does not resolve"

I have a https address, using arguments https://my.sharry.site xy-alias-id ./file.pdf as arguments. The url is correct, I copied it from the browser address bar, just to be sure.

[ldericher]

that's what I mean by "a bit rough around the edges" :-D

shrupl just expects the base URL without protocol, so in your case using arguments my.sharry.site xy-alias-id ./file.pdf. I'll fix that in the next release!

currently, https is the default, but may be set to actually any other protocol with the --protocol/-p CLI option.

Ah thank you! It didn't occur to me to try out without the protocol. Now it's working nicely 🎉
