A list of scripts that I wrote for personal use. These are particularly tailored to my needs and often come with no documentation, but may be of inspiration to some of you.

Bash

• count.sh is a script that enumerates files in the current dir with a depth of 2 and lists how many files are in each directory. I use this to see how many photo I take each month, so I run in a directory with a three sort of like this:

  .
  |- 2020
  |   |- 01_Gennaio
  |   |- 02_Febbraio
  |   | ...
  |
  ...

Getting an output like

.                   67040
./2020              11589
./2020/01_Gennaio   418
./2020/02_Febbraio  156
...

I use this in a more CSV format, import to a spreadsheet and make some graphs

• diskstats.sh gathers data from the disks on my home server and puts in some easy-to-reach files, which I then use to plot the available space on the landing page of my personal home server.

Python

• photohandler.py runs each time I send a photo to my Telegram bot, placing it in my photo directory tree in the right folder. For example, a photo named PXL_20231026_105444.jpg will be placed inside photos/2023/10_Ottobre/20231026/
• photo_tiles.py produces a grid of tiles like GitHub's contributions per month, based on an hardcoded dataset. Example below
• piwigo/piwigo_fixer.py fixes the missing creation dates of my piwigo database, filling with the date corresponding to the parent folder. E.g., the previous photo would be assigned a creation date of October 26, 2023.
• piwigo/piwigo_howmanywithouttag.py prints the number of photos in my piwigo database that have no tag
• piwigo/piwigo_randomwithouttag.py prints the absolute path of a photo with no tag from my piwigo database
