ayup

automatic youtube uploader pipeline

This is just a personal script to manage some youtube videos. It is assumed that the user has 2 computers on a LAN and wishes to transfer video files from one (A) to the other (B), where files are deleted from A after transfer to B, and deleted from B once upload to youtube is successful.

Dependencies

Most of these should already be present on both systems. It goes without saying that both computers must have access to a unix shell.

Sender (A)

• git
• rsync

Uploader (B)

• flock (used for cron job)
• git
• python 2/3
• rsync
• youtube-upload (follow install instructions described there)

Notes

May need to install pyside on raspberry pi, which requires some other packages, see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51273560 and remove any packages from that list that are not found (e.g. E: Unable to locate package qtmobility-dev).

Install

• git clone https://github.com/isaacimholt/ayup.git

Setup

Configuration

  rsync:
    source: /folder/with/videos/to/send
    destination: my_user@my_other_computer:/folder/on/other/computer
