memoria

Generate a searchable visual history of your activity on your computer.

This project is both a tool for personal use as well as a means to practice a few buzzwordy shenanigans. WIP!

Installation

The daemon service relies on tesseract, which is available on multiple platforms. For ubuntu (native or WSL), install these packages:

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr \ 
                    libtesseract-dev \
                    libleptonica-dev

On the project's root folder, run:

go mod tidy

NOTE: must have go version 1.21.0 or greater installed

Before running the daemon application, make sure to have InfluxDB running:

docker run \
      -p 8086:8086 \
      -v ./db:/var/lib/influxdb2 \
      influxdb:latest

Run the daemon application from the project's root with:

go run ./daemon/cmd/main.go

TODO: fix Dockerfile so that the project can be run just via a simple docker compose up

Daemon

Takes a screenshot every 10 seconds, runs OCR on it and stores the extracted text and the base64 value of the screenshot on InfluxDB.

API

Exposes endpoints to search and visualize screenshots captured by the Daemon.

UI

Consumes data from the API and presents an interface to interact with it.
