[CLI] storage of notes

personalizedrefriger · 23 December 2023 23:25

First make a backup of (undeleted) notes:

joplin-cli export --format="jex" ./backup.jex

Next,

joplin-cli config revisionService.ttlDays 1 (delete revisions and unlinked resources after 1 day)
- I think that the minimum is 1
joplin-cli config revisionService.enabled false (disable revisions)

should work.

After restarting the app, old revisions (deleted more than a day ago) should be deleted after four or so seconds:

          	}
          
          	public runInBackground(collectRevisionInterval: number = null) {
          		if (this.isRunningInBackground_) return;
          		this.isRunningInBackground_ = true;
          
          		if (collectRevisionInterval === null) collectRevisionInterval = 1000 * 60 * 10;
          
          		logger.info(`runInBackground: Starting background service with revision collection interval ${collectRevisionInterval}`);
          
          		this.maintenanceTimer1_ = shim.setTimeout(() => {
          			void this.maintenance();
          		}, 1000 * 4);
          
          		this.maintenanceTimer2_ = shim.setInterval(() => {
          			void this.maintenance();
          		}, collectRevisionInterval);
          	}
          
          	public async cancelTimers() {
          		if (this.maintenanceTimer1_) {

Unlinked resources will be deleted after slightly longer:

          	}
          
          	public static runInBackground() {
          		if (this.isRunningInBackground_) return;
          
          		this.isRunningInBackground_ = true;
          		const service = this.instance();
          
          		service.maintenanceTimer1_ = shim.setTimeout(() => {
          			void service.maintenance();
          		}, 1000 * 30);
          
          		service.maintenanceTimer2_ = shim.setInterval(() => {
          			void service.maintenance();
          		}, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 4);
          	}
          
          	public async cancelTimers() {
          		if (this.maintenanceTimer1_) {
          			shim.clearTimeout(this.maintenanceTimer1_);
          			this.maintenanceTimer1_ = null;
