Anydb is a simple to use commandline tool to store anything you'dlike, even binary files etc. It is a re-implementation ofskate for the followingreasons:

• it's just fun to do
• anydb usesbbolt instead ofbadger. bbolt has a stable file format, which doesn't changeanymore. The badger file format on the other hand changes veryoften, which is not good for a tool intended to be used for manyyears.
• more features:
  • output table in list mode uses TAB separator
  • better STDIN + pipe support
  • supports JSON output
  • supports more verbose tabular output
  • filtering using regular expressions
  • tagging
  • filtering using tags
  • encryption of entries
  • templates for custom output for maximum flexibility
  • includes a tiny web server, which serves a restful API

And I wrote a very similartool 24 years ago and wanted to do it again wit go.

anydb can do all the things you can do with skate:

However, there are more features than just that!

There are multiple ways to installanydb:

• Go to thelatest release page,locate the binary for your operating system and platform.

  Download it and put it into some directory within your$PATH variable.

• The release page also contains a tarball for every supported platform. Unpack itto some temporary directory, extract it and execute the following command inside:

  sudo make install

• You can also install from source. Issue the following commands in your shell:

  git clone https://github.com/TLINDEN/anydb.gitcd anydbmakesudo make install

• Or, if you have the GO toolkit installed, just install it like this:

  go install github.com/tlinden/anydb@latest

If you do not find a binary release for your platform, please don'thesitate to ask me about it, I'll add it.

A pre-built docker image is available, which you can use to test theapp without installing it. To download:

docker pull ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latest

To execute anydb inside the image do something like this:

mkdir mydbdocker run -ti  -v mydb:/db -u`id -u$USER` -e HOME=/db ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latestset foo bardocker run -ti  -v mydb:/db -u`id -u$USER` -e HOME=/db ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latest list -o wide

Here, we operate in a local directorymydb, which we'll use as HOMEinside the docker container. anydb will store its database inmydb/.config/anydb/default.db.

A list of available images ishere

The documentation is provided as a unix man-page. It will beautomatically installed if you install from source. However, you canread the man-page online

Or if you cloned the repository you can read it this way (perl needsto be installed though):perldoc anydb.pod.

If you have the binary installed, you can also read the man page withthis command:

anydb man

Although I'm happy to hear from anydb users in private email, that's thebest way for me to forget to do something.
