octastore 0.3.2.post2

OctaStore is a custom database system built with Python and powered by GitHub, treating GitHub repositories as databases. It features encryption using the cryptography library, ensuring data security.

OctaStore 🚀

Your GitHub repos as encrypted, offline-first databases — powered by Python magic.

---

Why OctaStore?

You love GitHub, you love Python, but managing data with traditional databases feels heavy and clunky.
OctaStore flips the script: it treats GitHub repositories as your personal, encrypted data vaults — no database language required. Work offline, sync online, and keep your data safe.

---

What’s under the hood?

• 🔐 Strong encryption with cryptography
• 📦 Multi-repo support with repo fallback
• 🔄 Offline-first sync — keep working without internet!
• 🐍 Pythonic API made for developers (no SQL headaches)
• 💾 Simple data save/load/delete, including complex objects
• 🔧 Configurable paths & logging to fit your project’s needs

---

Why does OctaStore look so familiar?

OctaStore is a rebraned version of our package gitbase (gitbase v0.7.6) with a more unified engine. GitBase used to share a name with another more popular product, and would, quite honestly, cause headaches, so we rebranded and upgraded the engine.

What does the -x suffix mean in some version numbers?

When you see a version number with a suffix like -x (e.g., v0.0.0-1), it indicates a pre-release. The number after the dash (-) reflects the order of the pre-release—higher numbers represent later pre-releases. For example, v0.0.0-1 is the first pre-release of version v0.0.0, while v0.0.0-2 is the second. The version without a suffix (e.g., v0.0.0) is the official release, which comes after all its pre-releases.

Pre-releases are created when we aren't fully confident in calling a version final. Not every release will have pre-releases. Additionally, some pre-releases may reference or depend on software that has not yet been publicly released. In such cases, the required components will be made available as soon as possible, either shortly before or after the official release.

What’s new in v0.3.2-2?

• Renamed NotificationManager to LogManager to make it eaiser to tell what it's for
• Updated example code to display how to initialize octastore (with init)
• Renamed OctaCluster to OctaStore and the old OctaStore to OctaStoreLegacy
• Fixed bugs in example code
• Added new datatype known as All which will allow for non-explicit selection of data in get_all
• Remade all datatypes into classes for type annotation support
• Renamed DataStore to DataBase
• Renamed db param of DataBase to core to better reflect that the DataBase class itself is the database

Installation

pip install octastore

Getting Started — Example Code

# OctaStore v0.3.2-2 Showcase Example

from octastore import init, __config__, OctaStore, DataBase, All, Object, KeyValue, LogManager; init()
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
import sys

# -------------------------
# OctaStore Core Setup
# -------------------------
encryption_key = Fernet.generate_key()  # Generate encryption key for secure storage

# OctaStore setup
core = OctaStore([
    {
        "token": "YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN",
        "repo_owner": "YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME",
        "repo_name": "YOUR_REPO_NAME",
        "branch": "main"
    },
    # Additional OctaStore configurations can be added here
    # {"token": "SECOND_TOKEN", "repo_owner": "SECOND_USERNAME", "repo_name": "SECOND_REPO", "branch": "main"}
])
# When using Legacy OctaStore do the below instead (will be a single repository)
# from octastore import OctaStoreLegacy
# core = OctaStoreLegacy(token=GITHUB_TOKEN, repo_owner=REPO_OWNER, repo_name=REPO_NAME)

# -------------------------
# Configure OctaStore
# -------------------------

__config__.app_name = "Cool RPG Game"
__config__.publisher = "Taireru LLC"
__config__.version = "0.1.0"
__config__.use_offline = True # defaults to `True`, no need to type out unless you want to set it to `False`
__config__.show_logs = True # defaults to `True`, no need to type out unless you want to set it to `False`
__config__.use_version_path = False # defaults to `True`, this variable will decide if your app path will use a version subdirectory (meaning different versions will have different data)
__config__.setdatpath() # Update `datpath` variable of `__config__` for offline data saving (you can also set it manually via `__config__.datpath = 'path/to/data'`)
# the path setup with `__config.setdatpath()` will add an `__config__.cleanpath` property which can be used for other application needs besides OctaStore, it will return a clean path based on your os (ex. Windows -> C:/Users/YourUsername/Documents/Taireru LLC/Cool RPG Game/)

# Save & Load General Data with Encryption
# -------------------------

# -------------------------
# Player Account Management
# -------------------------
# Display all data

# Delete a specific player account
LogManager.hide()  # Hide logs temporarily

LogManager.show()  # Show logs again
