copyparty/bin/hooks

standalone programs which are executed by copyparty when an event happens (upload, file rename, delete, ...)

these programs either take zero arguments, or a filepath (the affected file), or a json message with filepath + additional info

run copyparty with --help-hooks for usage details / hook type explanations (xm/xbu/xau/xiu/xbc/xac/xbr/xar/xbd/xad/xban)

note: in addition to event hooks (the stuff described here), copyparty has another api to run your programs/scripts while providing way more information such as audio tags / video codecs / etc and optionally daisychaining data between scripts in a processing pipeline; if that's what you want then see mtp plugins instead

after upload

• notify.py shows a desktop notification (example)
  • notify2.py uses the json API to show more context
• image-noexif.py removes image exif by overwriting / directly editing the uploaded file
• discord-announce.py announces new uploads on discord using webhooks (example)
• reject-mimetype.py rejects uploads unless the mimetype is acceptable
• into-the-cache-it-goes.py avoids bugs in caching proxies by immediately downloading each file that is uploaded

upload batches

these are --xiu hooks; unlike xbu and xau (which get executed on every single file), xiu hooks are given a list of recent uploads on STDIN after the server has gone idle for N seconds, reducing server load + providing more context

• xiu.py is a "minimal" example showing a list of filenames + total filesize
• xiu-sha.py produces a sha512 checksum list in the volume root

before upload

• reject-extension.py rejects uploads if they match a list of file extensions
• reloc-by-ext.py redirects an upload to another destination based on the file extension

on message

• wget.py lets you download files by POSTing URLs to copyparty
• qbittorrent-magnet.py starts downloading a torrent if you post a magnet url
• msg-log.py is a guestbook; logs messages to a doc in the same folder
