Consumedir Cleaner v0.1 *beta*

[totti4ever]

This script is made for cleaning up the consumption directory used for the consumedir service (which is also part of the default docker-compose file and sends files to Docspell which are copied or moved there.

What it does:

• Checks for every file (in the collective's folder of the given user name) if it already exists in the collective (using Docspell's API).
• If so, by default those files are moved to an archive folder just besides the collective's consumption folders named _archive. The archive's files are organized into monthly subfolders by the date they've been added to Docspell
  • If set, those files can also be deleted instead of being moved to the archive. There is no undo function provided for this, so be careful.
• If a file is found which does not exist in the collective, by default nothing happens, so that file would be found in every run and just ignored
  • If set, those files can also be uploaded to Docspell. Depending on the setting for files already existing these files would either be deleted or moved to the archive in the next run.

• Parameters
  1. URL of Docspell, including http(s)
