# Recurring scrape — GUI zip users
|
|
|
|
The **DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64** (or similar) GUI zip is only the desktop app. Docker, cron, and append-only JSON merges live in the **source repo** checked out beside the zip:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/ ← GUI (this folder)
|
|
DiscordChatExporter/ ← source repo (scripts, Docker, config)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copy this file to `../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/RECURRING-SCRAPE.md` if you want the quick reference next to the GUI binary.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start (run from source repo)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ../DiscordChatExporter # or your clone path
|
|
./scripts/operator-handoff.sh # disk + verify + archive dry-run
|
|
./scripts/sync-token-from-gui.sh --force # token from GUI Settings.dat
|
|
# or: cp scrape.env.example scrape.env and set DISCORD_TOKEN (never commit)
|
|
./scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh # verify, build image, preflight
|
|
./scripts/run-documents-scrape.sh # incremental append-only scrape
|
|
./scripts/setup-cron.sh --dry-run # preview monthly job (default 1st @ 04:00)
|
|
./scripts/setup-cron.sh # install cron after handoff passes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional integrity tools:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/audit-archive-json.sh
|
|
# ./scripts/salvage-truncated-export.sh path/to/export.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Archives: `config/scrape-targets.json` (typically `~/Documents/*` per target `output_dir`).
|
|
|
|
**Disk:** Free several GiB on `/home` and archive roots before large scrapes (`DCE_MIN_FREE_MB`, default 1024).
|
|
|
|
**Validate scripts:** `./scripts/run-all-smokes.sh`
|
|
|
|
## Wrappers in the GUI zip folder
|
|
|
|
From `DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh --dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That script delegates to `../DiscordChatExporter/scripts/bootstrap-recurring-scrape.sh`.
