turns a collection of documents into a browsable ZIM file
Project description
Nautilus
nautilus turns a collection of documents into a browsable ZIM file.
It downloads the video (webm or mp4 format – optionally recompress it in lower-quality, smaller size), the thumbnails, the subtitles and the authors' profile pictures ; then, it creates a static HTML files folder of it before creating a ZIM off of it.
Preparing the archive
To be used with nautilus, your archive should be a ZIP file.
- it doesn't need to be structured, but it can.
- it doesn't need to be compressed. It's usually recommended not to.
- it should contain a
collection.jsonfile, but it can also be provided separately (see below). - it should only contain to-be-included files. No filtering is done.
- Audio and video files should be in ogg format with an
.ogg/.ogvextension to be supported on all platforms (mp3/mp4would work only on platforms with native support).
cd content/path
zip -r -0 -T ../content_name.zip *
JSON collection file
Either inside the archive ZIP as /collection.json or elsewhere,
specified via --collection mycollection.json, you must supply a JSON file describing your content.
The user-interface only gives access to files referenced properly in the collection.
At the moment, the JSON file needs to provide the following fields for each item in an array:
[
{
"title": "...",
"description": "...",
"authors": "...",
"files": ["relative/path/to/file"]
},
{
"title": "...",
"description": "...",
"authors": "...",
"files": [
{
"archive-member": "01 BOOK for printing .pdf", // optional, member name inside archive (same as simpler format)
"url": "http://books.com/310398120.pdf", // optional, has precedence over `archive-member`, url to download file from
"filename": "My book.pdf", // optional, filename to use in ZIM, regardless of original one
}
]
}
]
About page
Either inside the archive ZIP as /about.html or elsewhere, specified via --about myabout.html,
- You may supply an about page in HTML format. It will be displayed in a modal popup and will be included.
- At its bottom your secondary-logo if provided.
- Use only content tags (no
<html />nor<head />nor<script />etc) - Use inline styling if required, but no styling is recommended.
- Include one logo inline if required.
Usage
❯ nautuluszim --help
usage: nautuluszim [-h] [-V]
# everything bundled in a ZIP
nautiluszim --archive my-content.zip
# In this mode every file entry must have a valid url.
nautiluszim --collection https://example.com/to-your-collection-file
Installation
You'd want to install it in a dedicated virtual-environment (python3 -m venv some-env && source ./some-env/bin/activate)
❯ pip install nautiluszim
Contributing
❯ pip install -e .
Notes
- On macOS, the locale setting is buggy. You need to launch it with the
LANGUAGEenvironment variable (as ISO-639-1) for the translations to work.
LANGUAGE=fr nautiluszim --language fra
