# syncthingmanager
A command line tool for the Syncthing API. Designed to make setting up remote servers easier.
(and for users who prefer the cli)

## Installation and configuration
###Requirements
- Python 3.4 or later
- setuptools and pip
- Syncthing 0.14.19 or later

Make sure you have setuptools installed, clone the repository, and run 
`python3 setup.py install`

The configuration must be initialized with the Syncthing API key.
Usually this can be done automatically:
`stman configure`. If that doesn't work, get the API key from the GUI 
or config.xml (in Syncthing's config directory), then run `stman configure apikey`.

### Configuration syntax
If your Syncthing GUI/API is on a non-standard port, or not on localhost, 
you will need to configure it manually. By default, `stman` will look for 
settings at `~/.config/syncthingmanager/syncthingmanager.conf`. 
A sample syncthingmanager.conf follows:

```
[DEFAULT]
name = localhost

[localhost]
apikey = MafkDvpagX5J6oMzxm9HwDSXJPSQKPFS
hostname = localhost
port = 8384

[remote-device]
apikey = h9mifaKwDq3SSPPmgUuDjsrivFg3dtkK
hostname = some-host
port = 9001
```

In this example, my default device is the one at localhost:8384. If I wanted 
to send a command to the one at some-host:9001, it would look like 
`stman --device remote-device ...`

## Usage
```
$ stman device list
$HOME/.config/syncthingmanager/syncthingmanager.conf doesn't appear to be a valid path. Exiting.
# Autoconfiguration
$ stman configure
# List configured devices
$ stman device list

Other commands are documented in `stman -h`, `stman command -h`, and so on.


## Notes
- On Windows, cmd.exe will print funny characters in place of colors.
PowerShell works fine.
- Some information shown in the GUI requires use of the Events API, which
isn't part of python-syncthing. I plan on creating Python bindings for it
and using the results, but haven't started yet.
- I chose to have the device list output be online first instead of 
alphabetical.
