As a person who wants to build snapshots, I want to build a snapshot for a specific language by

  • cloning this repo
  • running a single script with a simple command (just providing the language code)

Completion state:

This repository provides a script that takes one required argument: the language code of the snapshot you want to build.
Based on that argument and the info in this repo, it

  • pulls from kiwix
  • unpacks the dump
  • modifies the dump
  • writes the result to ipfs
  • reports the resulting hash

Dependencies we need for this to happen:

  • rust or built extract_zim (distributing binaries is always problematic)
  • ipfs daemon running

Would those dependencies be ok with you @flyingzumwalt ?

I believe this was closed by #77. One can now build the latest snapshot via

$ ./mirrorzim.sh --languagecode=cu --wikitype=wikipedia
