tekup

tekup

Command line script to upload files to https://teknik.io

Dependencies

• curl - for network I/O
• jq - for parsing JSON response

Usage

Usage: tekup [OPTIONS] [FILES...]
  -d           request a deletion key for images
  -e <STRING>  expiration time. only has an effect on text pastes.
               must be in the form of 'N UNIT' where N is a number
               and UNIT is one of the following:
               view minute hour day month year
  -N           disables expiring pastes (if enabled in config file, for example)
  -c           save the url to the clipboard
  -h           print this help
  -v           print verbose output. can be stacked. there are three levels of
               verbosity (because this thing is over-engineered)
               first will show progress from curl
               second will print the json response
               third will show verbose output from curl

Configuration

A configuration file can be defined at $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/tekup/conf (defaults to ~/.config/tekup)
If a line begins with # it is treated as a comment and ignored
A configuration file has the following options:

username       teknik.io username
api_key        teknik.io api key
expire_length  same as -e flag above
do_not_track   boolean, asks teknik.io not to log the upload
verbose_level  must be a number
clipboard      boolean

If ~/.config/tekup/log is a writeable file tekup will always ask for a deletion key and log it in that file.

Example:

tekup -e '5 minutes' -d some.txt some.png

This will upload two files, some.txt will self-destruct after 5 minutes, and will also print a url that will delete some.png.
