## How to use Volery
1. 🔍 Search for your favourite packages.
2. 📋 Copy the batch installation script to your clipboard.
3. 💻 Voilà! Now paste it into your terminal and install your packages!
## How Volery works
- Using GitHub Actions + Python & Supabase API, package lists from the [Arch Linux Official Repository](https://archlinux.org/packages/) and the [Arch User Repository (AUR)](https://aur.archlinux.org) are mirrored to a PostgreSQL database hosted on Supabase, once per hour.
- For Arch Official Repositories metadata, the [official repositories web interface](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories_web_interface) is used.
- For the Arch User Repository (AUR) metadata, the [AUR metadata archives](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Aurweb_RPC_interface#Limitations) is used to [minimise](https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2021-November/036659.html) Volery's impact on AUR traffic.
- A NextJS web user interface lets users query the database for Arch Official Repositories packages and AUR packages, pick and choose their favourite packages, and generate a [yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay) script for convenient batch-installation.
## Setup instructions
`git clone` and `cd` into the project directory
## Supabase Setup
Create a free [Supabase](https://supabase.com) account and project, and run the SQL scripts [create_arch_official_repo.sql](database/sql/create_arch_official_repo.sql) and [create_aur.sql](database/sql/create_aur.sql) from your Supabase project dashboard.
### Declare environment variables
```bash
cp --update=none .env-dev .env.local
```
In `.env.local`, fill in the following variables
```bash
# You will need a free Supabase account and project (https://supabase.com)
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
```
### Install dependencies
```bash
yarn install
```
### Run in development mode
```bash
yarn run dev
```
## Inspiration
Volery was inspired by [Ninite](https://ninite.com), a package management system for Windows. "Volery" was the [codename](https://www.instantfundas.com/2009/10/volery-single-installer-for-popular.html) of Ninite during its private beta stage, and Ninite used to [support](https://ninite.com/linux) Linux in the past.
