zip-deploy

Provides an easy way to fetch contents from a remote ZIP files and sync/extract them to a local destination dir. Note that during download and extraction the contents will not be consistent. Not thread-safe - so take care and check the documentation. If you use the cli, check the -h option for configurable options.

Installation

pip install zip-deploy

Usage

Windows CLI:

# Executes the check every 15 seconds
zip-deploy.exe  --content-destination "./movies" --update-interval 15 "http://your-url.domain/movies.zip"

Unix cli:

# Executes the check every 15 seconds
zip-deploy  --content-destination "./movies" --update-interval 15 "http://your-url.domain/movies.zip"

As python module:

python -m zipdeploy.zipdeploy --content-destination /dev/shm/your/target/destination --update-interval 15 http://your-url.domain/movies.zip  

In your own code (no periodic checks included, threading is your job):

from zipdeploy.zipdeploy import ZipDeploy

zd = ZipDeploy("http://your-url.domain/movies.zip", "/dev/shm/your/target/destination")
zd.download_if_required()

Using Docker:

# make sure to mount /your/target/destination into the container, if you plan to do something useful ;-)
docker run ghcr.io/hgross/zip-deploy --content-destination /your/target/destination --update-interval 15 http://your-url.domain/movies.zip

This project is my playground project to get to know GitHub Actions for automated package publishing/Release pipelines on GitHub. Don't expect maintenance, but feel free to use this tool if it helps you out. I created it on a weekend for a friend who set up an e-ink display project on his Raspberry Pi.
