hoard

A tool to allow data hoarders to split data sets across a pool of offline external hard drives.

I want to manage 100TB of static data sets across my shelf full of hard drives in a way that won't enrage me.

WARNING: alpha software

Basic Usage

hoard init
hoad location add my-home
hoard disk add --location my-home --label russia-leaks-01 /dev/sdb
hoard partition add /dev/sdb1
hoard collection add vgtrk
hoard file add -c vgtrk ~/torrents/some-leak/path-to-file.zip /some-leak/path-to-file.zip
umount /dev/sdb1  # can still search files while devices not mounted
hoard file ls -c vgtrk /some-leak/

Building

This currently only supports Linux.

sudo apt install -y \
    libudev-dev \
    liblzma-dev

You will need Rust and cargo, which can be gotten with rustup. You can build the release binary like so:

cargo build --release
mv target/release/hoard ~/.local/bin/  # assumes ~/.local/bin is on your $PATH
hoard --help

Docs

Better docs can be found in the cli module or by running cargo doc --open.
