Philesight is implemented as a simple command line -program that generates PNG files; a wrapper CGI script is supplied to allow -navigating through the filesystem. - -Philesight is actually a clone of the filelight program. Wheres filelight is -ment as an interactive, user friendly application for the X-windows desktop, -philesight is designed to run on a remote server without graphical user -interface. - - -Dependencies -============ - -Philesight is written in ruby1.8, and requires the berkely-db4 and cairo -ruby-libraries. - -Changelog -========= - -2008-05-29 Added option (use_gradients) to enable/disable gradients - in circular graph. Added option to set graph size. - -2008-04-16 Added optional table with file list to cgi, some bugfixes, - increased default graph size to 800. (Thanks to Guillaume - Sachot) - -2008-03-17 Fixed bug where no image was shown with CGI's running - on apache-mpm-worker. - -2007-03-12 Fixed crash when indexing file named 'rest' - -2006-12-09 Workaround for segmentaion fault with ruby 1.8.5 - -Usage -===== - -Philesight can be run in different modes: first, the filesystem is indexed -and the results are stored in a database. When the database is generated, the -tool can used to generate PNG files with the graphs. The database should be -updated every once in a while of course. - - * Index bulding: - - ./philesight --db {db} --index {path} - - {db} is the name of the database file that will be generated. It is a good - idea to throw away existing database files before indexing to avoid removed - files showing in your graph. - - {path} is the top-level directory to start indexing. Usually, '/' is a - good choice. - - This process might take some time, since it traverses the whole tree - from path-to-index downward and stores the data into the db. Make - sure to remove previous database files before indexing. - - - * PNG generating: In this mode, philesight generates a graph of the - filesystem from path and 4 levels downward. i - - ./philesight --db {db} --path {path} --draw {png} - - {db} is the filename of the index file that was generated earlier, - {path} is the directory which should be drawn, and {png} is the filename - of the to-be-generated PNG image file - - - * CGI: Philesight comes with a CGI module that can be run from within a - web server. Edit the configurable parameters in the top of this file - to point to the database. Make sure the datbase file is readable by - the webserver! - - Available options: - - * db: Path to database file. - - * default_path: default path to show when CGI first loads. - - * size: graph size. 800 pixels is often a good choice. - - * show_list: render list of directories and their sizes blow graph. - - * use_gradients: use gradient colors in graph (set to 'false' to generate - smaller PNG files) - - -Bugs -==== - - * Philesight is a ruby program, and thus is not particulary fast. - * Indexing takes longer than necassery. - * Proper error handling is mostly missing. - * Not very well tested. - * It might eat your disks. - |
