# ranet-clone

A searchable clone of russianplanes.net, for transparency and ease of identifying planes.

A torrent of the (partial) dataset is available [here](https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/torrents/russianaircraft.net_images.tar.torrent), with a tarball being available [here](https://the-eye.eu/public/Random/russianaircraft.net_images.tar).

## What is this?

This is a tool for

1. Downloading the entirety of the images hosted on russianplanes.net

2. Re-hosting them and allowing people to search them

3. Re-creating the metadata that was once attached to these images via OCR

## Why?

The website russianplanes.net was told to take down all their military aircraft listings by the Russian government.

This project aims to archive all the images hosted on their CDN in order to make identification of aircraft easier.

## Usage

```bash

git clone https://github.com/5HT2/ranet-clone

cd ranet-clone

# Make the dir first

RANET_DATA=/path/to/images/dir

echo "{}" > "$RANET_DATA/config.json"

#

# Run directly

go build -o ranet .

./ranet -dir $RANET_DATA -threads 4

#

# Or, run via Docker

docker build -t ranet .

docker run --name ranet --mount type=bind,source="$RANET_DATA",target=/ranet-data --network host -d -e MODE=all -e THREADS=4 ranet

```
