Rafty is a hacky DVD backup solution with the potential to scale

horizontally.  You can read more about the design in

[this blog post](http://mgalgs.github.io/2015/04/02/rafty-dvd-backups-using-systemd-docker-rabbitmq-and-go.html).

# Pre-requisites

`HandBrakeCLI`, `lsdvd`, `mplayer`, `dd`, `rabbitmq`, `ddrescue` (optional)

# Installation

The following steps should roughly get you up and running:

    $ cd /path/to/rafty

    $ make deps all

    $ sudo make install

You also need to edit two configuration files and a systemd service

(updating them with your username, etc):

    /etc/conf.d/rafty-dd-one.conf

    /etc/conf.d/rafty-handbraked.conf

    /etc/systemd/system/rafty-handbraked.service

You'll also need [`rabbitmq`](https://www.rabbitmq.com/) running on

`localhost`.

Now start the daemon and reload your udev rules:

    $ sudo systemctl start rafty-handbraked.service

    $ sudo udevadm control --reload

And "that's it"!  Now the next time you insert a DVD the Rafty Rube

Goldberg machine should kick into action!

# Manual Invocation

If the `udev` rafting isn't working raftily enough for you, you can invoke

the rip+encode process manually with:

    $ sudo DEVNAME=/dev/sr0 rafty-dd-one.sh

(adjusting `/dev/sr0` as necessary).

I've found that some discs need to be "primed" by playing them for a few

minutes with `mplayer` before attempting to rip them.  You'll need to use

the above command to start the rip process after "priming" the disc in

those cases.

If you have some isos sitting around you can send them to the encode queue

with:

    $ rafty-handbrakectl newiso /path/to/movie.iso

Happy Rafting!
