Flickr uploader

Upload a directory of photos to Flickr to use as a backup to your local storage.

• Uploads only jpg images to Flickr
• Ignores unwanted directories
• Creates "Sets" (Albums) based on folder name the photo is in

Setup:

• Create the config from template $ cp config.yml.dist config.yml
• Go to https://www.flickr.com/services/apps and create new app. Fill api_key and api_secret in config.yml
• Make sure token_file_name and db_path paths are writable
• Set photos_path dir
• Build binary with go install

Usage:

• run binary flickr-uploader-go -config /path/to/config.yml
• default config config.yml in current directory

SystemD setup:

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/
cp systemd-units/* ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user enable flickr-uploader-go.timer
systemctl --user start flickr-uploader-go.timer
systemctl --user status flickr-uploader-go.timer
