# Snapraid Runner Script
This script runs snapraid and sends its output to the console, a log file and
via email. All this is configurable.
It can be run manually, but its main purpose is to be run via cronjob/windows
scheduler.
It supports Windows, Linux and macOS and requires at least python3.7.
## How to use
* If you don’t already have it, download and install
[the latest python version](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
* Download [the latest release](https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner/releases)
of this script and extract it anywhere or clone this repository via git.
* Copy/rename the `snapraid-runner.conf.example` to `snapraid-runner.conf` and
edit its contents. You need to at least configure `snapraid.executable` and
`snapraid.config`.
* Run the script via `python3 snapraid-runner.py` on Linux or
`py -3 snapraid-runner.py` on Windows.
## Features
* Runs `diff` before `sync` to see how many files were deleted and aborts if
that number exceeds a set threshold.
* Can create a size-limited rotated logfile.
* Can send notification emails after each run or only for failures.
* Can run `scrub` after `sync`
## Scope of this project and contributions
Snapraid-runner is supposed to be a small tool with clear focus. It should not
have any dependencies to keep installation trivial. I always welcome bugfixes
and contributions, but be aware that I will not merge new features that I feel
do not fit the core purpose of this tool.
I keep the PRs for features I do not plan on merging open, so if there's a
feature you are missing, you can have a look
[at the open PRs](https://github.com/Chronial/snapraid-runner/pulls).
