README
A FUSE filesystem driver for reMarkable
=======================================``remarkable-fs`` allows you to see the contents of your reMarkable as a normal
folder on your computer. All your documents and folders are visible; you can
copy documents to and from the reMarkable, create folders, and move and delete
folders and files. You cannot, however, edit documents that are
already on the reMarkable (apart from moving or deleting them).It supports PDF files, EPUB files, and handwritten notes, but does not
yet support annotated PDFs (they are exported without annotations).*This software is in an early stage of development. I take no responsibility if
it deletes your files or bricks your reMarkable! Do not use it if you are
unwilling to lose all your documents. Use at your own risk!*Installation
------------``remarkable-fs`` works on both Linux and macOS. Support for macOS may
be a bit patchy as I myself run Linux, but at least the basics should
work. To install it, you will need to have first installed:- FUSE. If on macOS, get this from the `Fuse for macOS`_ project. If
on Linux, your package manager should have it.
- ``pip``, the Python package installer. You can install this by running
``sudo easy_install pip`` in a terminal... _Fuse for macOS: https://osxfuse.github.io/
Then, to install ``remarkable-fs``, run the following command in a
terminal:sudo pip install remarkable-fs
Note for Linux users: ``remarkable-fs`` supports both Python 2 and 3,
but for handwritten notes it works much faster on *Python 2*.Running
-------First make sure that your reMarkable is plugged into your computer.
Make an empty directory on your computer. This directory is where your
documents will appear. Then run ``remarkable-fs``. You will be
prompted for the path to this directory; type it in. (On macOS, you
can instead drag the directory to the terminal window at this point.)You will then be prompted for the root password of your reMarkable.
You can find this by opening the settings menu of the reMarkable,
choosing "About", scrolling to the very bottom, and finding the
paragraph beginning: "To do so, this device acts as a USB ethernet
device..." (If you don't want to have to type in the root password
every time you run ``remarkable-fs``, follow the instructions on
passwordless login from the `reMarkable wiki`_.).. _reMarkable wiki: http://remarkablewiki.com/index.php?title=Methods_of_access#Setting_up_ssh-keys
If all goes well, you will find all your documents in the directory
you chose. You can copy PDF or EPUB files there, and they will appear
on the reMarkable; you can also move files around. Go wild!(On macOS, your reMarkable will also appear in the finder under the
menu Go -> Computer.)When you are finished, you can stop ``remarkable-fs`` by pressing ctrl-C.
Note that your reMarkable will be unresponsive for the time you have
``remarkable-fs`` running. It should start responding as soon as you close
``remarkable-fs`` or unplug the USB cable. If for some reason it doesn't, you
can force your reMarkable to restart by holding down the power button for five
seconds, letting go, and then pressing the power button for another second.Copyright
