Lembrame

Antergos official tool to save your current settings like installed apps, extensions, themes etc, and allow you to reinstall your system with this data within our installer Cnchi.

Dependencies

• Gjs (Main language)
• Gnome Shell >= 3.24
• Python >= 3.3 (encryption script)
• Libnacl # python-libnacl # (https://github.com/saltstack/libnacl) (libsodium wrapper - encryption - python library)
• DConf

What it will begin doing

• Starting just with Gnome in mind. Add more enviroments later.
• [Done] Sync your .bashrc
• [Done] Sync your org.gnome.schell schema (enabled-extensions, favorite-apps, extension settings)
• [Done] Sync your Shell theme
• [Done] Sync your icon theme
• [Done] Sync your GTK theme
• [Done] Sync your desktop background
• [Done] Sync your screensaver background (gdm)
• [Done] Sync your explicitly installed packages (pacman)
• [Done] Zip and encrypt all the previous files (libsodium)
• [Done] Generate an unique code
• [Done] Upload to a webservice in Antergos servers

Big TODO's

• Ensure that all tasks are completed as expected
• Do not block the main thread while executing the tasks
• Show a pulsed progress bar for the point before
• Show the last screen with the unique code only when the upload completes and everything is OK
• Allow to send your userID and unique code to your email
• Allow to re-do the sync

What would be the perfect evolution for this

• Creation of an Antergos account where this tool can sync all this content frequently. Everything with client side encryption
• Allow the user to specifically choose which things to sync
• Having a personal account, we could add some private stuff
  • Wifi passwords
  • Name and picture
  • etc
• Cnchi (Antergos installer) would ask you if you want to configure your installation with your Antergos account.
• Modify our login system to allow Antergos account sign in "Windows 10 style" (not sure if 100% possible)
• I guess we would have to charge for this service to pay the servers. At least for some of the features.
