# Arc Ingester
|
|
|
|
Read the JSON export from the [Arc](https://www.bigpaua.com/arcapp) app and ingest it into a postgresql database. This
|
|
is designed to be run as a cron job or launchctl jjob to keep the database up to date with the latest data from the app.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- The Arc app installed on your iPhone (or possibly other iOS devices?)
|
|
- The app set to export data
|
|
- A postgresql database to ingest the data into
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Currently, the ingester is not available as a binary, so you will need to build it from source. You will need to have
|
|
[Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) installed to do this.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo install --git https://github.com/joshuacoles/arc-ingester
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
The ingester is a command line tool that takes the following arguments,
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
arc-ingester --root "~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~bigpaua~LearnerCoacher/Documents" --db "postgresql://localhost/arc"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
see `arc-ingester --help` for more information.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Logging
|
|
- Investigate using modified date as a replacement for hashing to determine if a file has changed
|
|
- At the very least, use the modified date to determine if a file has changed and then hash check the ones that have
|
|
the same modified date.
|
|
- Multithreading
|
|
- Error handling
|
|
- What happens if some places or activities are deleted from the app? I think atm they will be left in the database.
|
|
- Auto build and release
