Uploads images using the Google Photos API

Usage

GPhoto Uploader

Usage:
    gphoto-uploader
    gphoto-uploader (-h | --help)
    gphoto-uploader (-v | --version)

Environment Variable Configuration

The following environment variables can be configured for the application:

1. UPLOADER_STORED_CREDENTIALS_DIR: This variable is used to specify the directory where the uploader's credentials are stored. 
   Default: `HOME/.uploader-credentials`
2. UPLOADER_PHOTO_LIST: This variable is used to specify the path to the list of photos to be uploaded.
   Default: `photo-list.txt`
3. UPLOADER_CREDENTIALS: This variable is used to specify the path to the uploader's credentials file.
   Default: `credentials.json`
4. UPLOADER_VERBOSE: This variable is used to control the verbosity of the uploader. Set it to 'true' for verbose output.
   Default: `false`

Releasing

Run the script release.sh with a version number of the form vX.Y.Z where X, Y, & Z are integers from 0-99. If the results look good after running, push to remote using the commands: git push && git push :origin "v${VERSION}" && git push --tags.

When successfully pushed to the remote, it will trigger a Github action that will create a Github release and publish a standalone executable JAR file to the Github packages repository.

Running

Requires OAuth2 Client credentials to be stored in a local file. Be sure to choose an "OAuth Client ID" of type "Other" or "Installed". This application, on first run, will redirect to a webserver running on localhost port 8000 that will receive the redirect and the authorization code. The authorization code will be used to generate the access token and grant authorization to the application.

Merge Strategy of maven-assembly-plugin

Issue

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find policy 'pick_first'. Make sure its implementation is either registered to LoadBalancerRegistry or included in META-INF/services/io.grpc.LoadBalancerProvider from your jar files.

Workaround

Add implementation for 'LoadBalancerProvider`:

$ mkdir temp-directory
$ mv target/gphoto-uploader-2.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar temp-directory
$ cd temp-directory && jar xf gphoto-uploader-2.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
$ rm META-INF/services/io.grpc.LoadBalancerProvider
$ echo io.grpc.internal.PickFirstLoadBalancerProvider > META-INF/services/io.grpc.LoadBalancerProvider
$ rm gphoto-uploader-2.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
$ jar --create --manifest=META-INF/MANIFEST.MF --file ../target/gphoto-uploader-2.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar --verbose *
$ cd .. && /bin/rm -rf temp-directory
