Simply backup your files, print them and store them in a safe place.\n\n## Printable version of paperify\n\n![Paperify](https://github.com/alisinabh/paperify/releases/download/readme_resources/paperify.png)\n\nYou can print the image above and include them in your backups so you would have a copy of paperify with them. :)\n\n## Requirements\n\nMake sure you have these binaries installed on your system.\n\n - `qrencode` (qrencode)\n - `convert` (imagemagick)\n - `zbarimg` (zbar \u003e= 0.23.1) __only for decoding with digitallify.sh__\n \n**Zbar**: Binary support is just added in zbar `0.23.1` and not supported in earlier versions.\nPlease verify that your zbar version is higher or equal to `0.23.1`. You can do that by running \n```\nzbarimg --version\n0.23.1\n```\nYou can download and build zbar from [github.com/mchehab/zbar/](https://github.com/mchehab/zbar/).\nNote that zbar is **not** required for `paperify.sh` It is only required for `digitallify.sh` decoding.\n\n### Mac OS X\n\nTo install the requirements you can use Homebrew.\n\n```\nbrew install coreutils qrencode zbar\n```\n\n## Installation\n\nThese are just bash scripts. There is no need to install them.\n\nYou can either use git to clone this repo or download it in zip.\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/alisinabh/paperify.git \u0026\u0026 cd paperify\n# --- OR ---\nwget https://github.com/alisinabh/paperify/archive/master.zip -O paperify.zip \u0026\u0026 \\\n     unzip paperify.zip \u0026\u0026 cd paperify-master\n```\n\nOr you can use paperify's Docker image at alisinabh/paperify. More details below.\n\n## Usage\n```\n# Creates FILE-qr directory with generated qr codes inside.\n# Then you can print those files and store them.\n./paperify.sh FILE\n\n\n# Reads all files inside the DIRECTORY which you have all your\n# scanned pages inside. Make sure the file namings are correct \n./digitalify.sh OUTPUT_FILE DIRECTORY\n```\n\n\n### Use with Docker\n\nYou can mount your files at `/target` in paperify's docker container. Then run paperify.\n\nFor simplicity, You can just copy the bellow commands which will mount your current directory automatically.\n\n```\n# To Paperify\n# FIRST: cd into the folder that your file is in\ndocker run -v$(pwd):/target alisinabh/paperify FILE\n\n# To Digitallify\n# First cd into the folder that your scanned images are in\ndocker run -v$(pwd):/target --entrypoint=/paperify/digitallify.sh alisinabh/paperify OUTPUT_FILE .\n```\n\n## Recommendations\n\n### Multiple files\n\nUse tarballs and gzip to store and compress your data.\n```\ntar cvfz files.tgz file1.txt file2.txt\n```\n\n### Encryption\n\nTo protect your data you can encrypt them using `gpg` (GnuPG).\n```\ngpg --symmetric file.txt\n```\nThen use `file.txt.gpg` in paperify. \n\n## License\nPaperify is licensed in GPL-3.0\n\nRead more in [LICENSE](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falisinabh%2Fpaperify","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falisinabh%2Fpaperify","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falisinabh%2Fpaperify/lists"}
