folder to minio

tiny rust binary that uploads a folder containing my screenshots to minio, and then stores the urls in the clipboard

i just quickly threw this together one evening, because my previous solution (a zsh script using the minio cli) was just so infuriatingly slow i couldn't bear it any longer

uses clap, arboard, and the minio rust sdk

from preliminary testing: it works! really well!

in the future, maybe i'll make it aggregate links uploaded in one "session" (i.e. close together) into newline-separated lists on the clipboard rather than separate entries

running as a service

there are some example service definitions:

linux (systemd)

the example definition runs ftm in daemon mode (-w), which will make it watch the filesystem for changes; while systemd also provides this functionality, due the way linux handles the clipboard, ftm needs to be running the time anyway

to enable:

• cp example/ftm.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
• fill in the necessary credentials
• systemctl --user start ftm
• enable it, e.g. for niri: systemctl --user add-wants niri.service ftm.service

for macos

the example launchd unit uses launchd's inbuilt QueueDirectories functionality to start ftm when necessary, rather than watching the filesystem like on linux

to enable:

• cp example/*.ftm.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
• fill in the necessary credentials
• launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/*.ftm.plist
