install_carts tweaks - Githubissues

pancelor commented 3 months ago

very nice radio :) I installed it locally today and made some adjustments to the install script:

change http -> https (the server was responding to every request with 301 Moved Permanently, redirecting to the https equivalent)
sleep after downloading each cart. this makes it much more likely for a single invocation to install all carts, and is more polite. I suppose it also makes incremental updates slower tho (after your cartridges dir is initialized) -- the server seems to let you download 5 or 10 carts as fast as you're able before it starts complaining. Maybe I should have made the sleep length a configurable commandline parameter

I notice that ./scripts/install_to_server runs this script -- will that be a problem somehow? I assume it's fine but just wanted to ask

This looks safe, I'm not worried about the server. Thanks for the update.

And I wonder if the rate limiting is new-ish. I don't think I ran into that when I made this. Anyways, the server rarely downloads new files so it would definitely be more annoying if you are running it locally.
