Docker support

Pre-built docker images are available at https://hub.docker.com/u/manojkarthick

mkdir -pv data/ docker build -t reddsaver:v0.1.0 . docker run --rm \ --volume="$PWD/data:/app/data" \ --volume="$PWD/.env:/app/.env" \ reddsaver:v0.1.0

Running

1. Create a new script application at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
   • Click on create an app at the bottom of the page
   • Input a name for your application, for example: -reddsaver
   • Choose "script" as the type of application
   • Set "http://localhost:8080" or any other URL for the redirect url
   • Click on "create app" - you should now see the application has been created
   • Under your application name, you should see a random string - that is your client ID
   • The random string next to the field "secret" is your client secret
2. Copy the client ID and client secret information returned
3. Create a .env file with the following keys, for example reddsaver.env:
   CLIENT_ID=<client_id> CLIENT_SECRET=<client_secret> USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<password>
4. Run the app! mkdir -pv reddsaver/ reddsaver --help reddsaver --e reddsaver.env -f reddsaver/

NOTE: When running the application beyond the first time, if you use the directory as the initial run, the application will skip downloading the images that have already been downloaded.
