scripts

This repository contains Python and shell scripts that I actively develop and utilize on my GNU/Linux (or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux) machine.

launch_searx.sh

starts a docker container for searx. use a cron job to execute this script on reboot.

@reboot sh $HOME/scripts/launch_searx.sh

dependencies:

• docker installation (do not use snap to install)

pi & piw

ssh into my dear raspberry pi, static ip addresses change according to connection medium (lan vs wlan)

volumeup.sh

used in i3wm to set maximum volume level. calling this script increases current volume level by 5% change the number in condition part of script ($current -lt 200) to set the upper limit

used by:

• i3wm configuration

dependencies:

• pactl
• pulseaudio (?)

update_repos.py

updates repositories kept in $HOME/sources by calling 'git pull' using subprocess

dependencies:

• termcolor

launch_polybar.sh

used by i3wm to launch polybar on occasions. ripped it off from arch wiki ;)

used by:

• i3wm configuration
• source_polybar.py

dependencies:

• polybar

source_polybar.py

generates and deploys my polybar configuration with color parameters. significantly reduces the time it takes to change colors.

dependencies:

• launch_polybar.sh
• polybar (I mean how can you use this config without polybar?)

launch_compton.sh

restarting i3 using $mod+shift+r causes multiple instances of compton to be created :) i noticed that when the CPU temperature hit 85 degrees :) never doing that again :)

dependencies:

• compton

launch_picom.sh

if there isn't any instance of picom running, creates one.

dependencies:

• picom

fetchpy

fetchpy is an alternative to neofetch. I was tinkering around with my neofetch config file, and at some point I got frustrated enough to create a full-blown fetch script.

This took me approximately ~6 hours to complete, and I'm proud of it! (I drank too much mineral soda with extra citric acid, acid reflux is really getting wild lol)

dependencies:

• termcolor

dotman.py

dotman is (yet) another DOTfiles MANager that I've made for my machine.

• Will it work on yours? Probably.
• Do you really need it? Probably not.

features of dotman

• Backup to any given local and remote repository
• Use whitelist to select folders
• Deploy to $HOME/.config
• Interactive mode
• Automatable mode
• Verbose output
• Logging capability

dependencies:

• python installation lol
