In our quest to find dumb replacements for [[todo/wishlist: 'get' queue and schedule.]] (and a more complete [[git-annex-schedule]]), we have setup a cronjob that would start and stop the assistant during certain time windows, to ensure that it would not download during prime bandwidth time.
|
|
|
|
But that isn't exactly what we're looking for: we would like the assistant to continue doing its usual thing of adding and removing files, and even syncing the git branches. Just not get/move files around.
|
|
|
|
One way I thought of doing this was to disable a remote locally. [[git-annex-dead]] of course comes to mind, but that applies to all repositories, so it's not an option. If the remote was in git, i could just `git remote rm origin` and `git remote add origin` and be done with it, but this is the *web* remote, so it doesn't even show up in `git remote -v`.
|
|
|
|
But this doesn't work with [[special remotes]]. Another solution is
|
|
simply to use the `remote.name.annex-ignore` configuration documented
|
|
in the main [[git-annex]] manpage. For example, to disable the web
|
|
remote, you would use:
|
|
|
|
git config remote.web.annex-ignore false
|
|
|
|
The result would be:
|
|
|
|
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/a>git annex addurl --fast http://localhost
|
|
addurl localhost ok
|
|
(recording state in git...)
|
|
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/a>git config remote.web.annex-ignore true
|
|
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/a>git annex get localhost
|
|
get localhost (not available)
|
|
Try making some of these repositories available:
|
|
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
|
|
|
|
(Note that these git remotes have annex-ignore set: web)
|
|
failed
|
|
git-annex: get: 1 failed
|
|
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/a>git config remote.web.annex-ignore false
|
|
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/a>git annex get localhost
|
|
get localhost (from web...)
|
|
/home/joey/tmp/a/.g 100%[=====================>] 10 --.-KB/s in 0s
|
|
ok
|
|
|
|
The assistant (probably?) needs to be restarted for those changes to
|
|
take effect. --[[anarcat]] and [[joeyh]].
