bobbintb Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I have been looking for ages for a de-dupe program that fulfills all my requirements and it looks like rmlint might be just what I am looking for and more. It even has a GUI now. I see it has been requested to be added to nerdtools but it makes more sense to me to have it as a docker or plugin. I think a docker would be better as it would be easier to take advantage of the GUI and a plugin would require compiling it for Slackware. There is already an image on docker hub that I will try and play around with in the next few days but I don't know what version it is at. It's at least a year old so i don't think it's up to date. I also don't know if the existing docker is set up for accessing the GUI over a webserver. Edited June 28, 2019 by bobbintb Quote Link to comment
bobbintb Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm trying to build my own docker using this base image https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui for running GUI apps on a headless server. Unfortunately I can't figure out what package is missing because when trying to run the GUI I am getting Failed to load shredder: No module named 'shredder' I looked at the compile requirements for rmlint but it doesn't have Alpine so I've just been trying to figure it out as I go.

sarfatis Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Following lesage's instructions, after downloading base, setup the following two config files and docker commands. file: Dockerfile # Sample Dockerfile with xterm gui on Ubuntu (not alpine-3.6n) FROM jlesage/baseimage-gui:ubuntu-18.04 RUN add-pkg sudo xterm RUN add-pkg python3-gi-cairo gsettings-backend dconf-gsettings-backend rmlint-gui # _-gi-cairo solves: TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context' COPY startapp.sh /startapp.sh # Set the name of the application, and other exported values ENV APP_NAME="Xterm" ENV TAKE_CONFIG_OWNERSHIP 1 # /config writable with UID 1000 gut /app directory still ro-unaccessible ENV USER_ID 0 # solves limited privileges mentioned (or else keep default UID 1000) file: startapp.sh #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/xterm Run these docker commands in host terminal: cd docker-baseimage-gui-master docker build -t docker-xterm-rmlint . docker run --rm -p 5800:5800 docker-xterm-rmlint Your guest shell interface is accessible by browser URL: http://localhost:5800/ Test virtual machine rmlint-gui by creating a duped file set: mkdir subdir ; echo 123 | tee ./subdir/fileB > ./subdir/fileA rmlint --gui # that's space-dash-dash-gui In rmlint graphical interface: [add current /app directory] [click ">" on the right of /app] [notice fileA and fileB are 2 twins] [click on subdir] [click on render-selected] [notice original and dupe files listed at bottom of rendered script] [click test with dry-run still activated, or allow real deletion prior to click] - - Beware, as of may2020, this rmlint gui on ubuntu 18 has 3 annoying attributes: -> DANGEROUS : Ignores modifications made to rendered script, even if you save it! -> Seems to ignore toggling which file is original and which is not -> need to click on a directory containing all dupes files before rendering Selected Solution: If you need to change manually the saved rendered script, run it from shell, not GUI. Rmlint has many other features, (lucky you if you use btrfs: check out cp --reflink=always) Quote Link to comment
