- powershell_greeting: PowerShell port of fish_greeting (fastfetch random logo, sixel/kitty-direct per terminal, logs, modes)
- win-gm-switch: Rust port of gm-switch.cpp (cross-platform mode file, --status, Start Menu shortcuts installer)
- install-windows.ps1 umbrella installer; README pointers
Backend: a GreetingToken model stores only a SHA-256 hash of a j621r_…
key (shown once at creation) plus label, prefix, created/last-used. A
dedicated GreetingTokenAuthentication understands the usual
'Authorization: Token …' header but is registered only on RandomItemView
(alongside the normal token auth), so a greeting token authenticates
/api/random/ and is rejected with 401 everywhere else — exactly the scope
shell greetings need. Endpoints: GET/POST /api/auth/greeting-tokens/ and
DELETE /api/auth/greeting-tokens/{id}/ (own tokens only; the list never
returns keys or hashes).
Frontend: /tokens page (Account → Shell tokens card, command palette entry)
lists tokens with label, prefix, created/last-used and revoke (shared
confirm dialog). Creating one shows the key with Copy and 'Copy for fish'
buttons plus a pointer to extras/fish_greeting.
Tests: apps/accounts/tests/test_greeting_tokens.py — 9 tests covering
create-once semantics and hashing, hidden keys in listings, the scope
guarantee (random 200 with a signed URL; 401 on files, storage, me, tags
cloud, delete and the token list itself), unknown/revoked keys, cross-user
revocation, last-used tracking and label limits.
Verified live: created a token, rolled /random (signed URL), got 401 from
four other endpoints, saw the list omit secrets, revoked it (204) and the
same key then 401'd on /random. Full suite: 39 tests green.
install.fish now:
- asks for the API origin (default https://j621.rainbow-herring.ts.net) and
an optional token when run interactively, or takes --url/--token;
- writes ~/.config/j621Greeting/config.fish with mode 600 (it may hold a
token), keeps an existing config unless --force/--url is given, and
--no-prompt runs fully unattended;
- verifies the setup: /health must answer 'ok' and a fastfetch random roll is
attempted, reporting the API's own message when it finds nothing; exits
non-zero when the backend is unreachable so scripts notice.
README documents the prompts/flags, the chmod 600 config, and that the
greeting is designed to run without a token (guest mode: unsigned links,
guest-visible items only) with a token adding signed links and hidden items.
Tested with fish 4.9.3 in throwaway HOME dirs: flag-driven install with a
token, interactive install with a piped origin and no token, re-run keeping
the existing config, and an unreachable backend exiting 1.
The original script (J621-Django/extras/fish_greeting system) downloaded
image bytes from /random/?rating=X and read the X-File-* headers. The new
API answers with JSON and a signed link, so the greeting now:
- asks /api/random/?fastfetch=1&rating=<mode> for JSON;
- parses url/j_id/filename/md5 with jq, python3, or a grep/sed fallback;
- downloads the signed link and keeps the original display path (fastfetch
kitty/kitty-icat logos, gifsicle preprocessing for GIFs, recursion guard,
logging with rotation, greeting_mode 0/1/2 = NSFW/SFW/Questionable);
- is configured through ~/.config/j621Greeting/config.fish or universal
variables (J621_BASE, J621_WEB, J621_TOKEN, J621_FASTFETCH_CONFIG) instead
of a hardcoded host, and prints the /detail/<J-ID> link on J621_WEB;
- reports the API's own 404 message when a rating has no images, and keeps
curl quiet so failures do not spill into the greeting.
extras/fish_greeting/ contains the function, an install.fish (copies it into
the fish functions dir, creates the config once, checks dependencies) and a
README with the old-vs-new table and troubleshooting. The existing
gm-switch helper and .desktop launchers keep working (same mode file).
Tested with fish 4.9.3: syntax check on every file, guest and token runs
against the dev API (unsigned vs signed URLs), the empty-rating and
unreachable-API paths, and the grep/sed fallback with jq and python3
unavailable.
Backend: GET /api/random/ (aliases /random and /random/) returns a random
library image with:
- rating=s,q,e filtering (comma separated, default any);
- fastfetch mode (?fastfetch=1 or any User-Agent containing "fastfetch")
that only considers png/jpg/gif - what terminal viewers can show;
- JSON with j_id, filename, extension, rating, size, e621 id plus absolute
url/download_url/thumbnail_url. Authenticated callers get signed URLs so
fastfetch and image viewers can load them without headers; guests get
unsigned URLs and never receive hidden_from_guests items.
Tests: apps/library/tests/test_random.py (8 tests) covering the response
contract, guest signatures, image-only default, the fastfetch format
restriction (flag and User-Agent), rating filters, guest visibility and the
short alias.
Frontend: /random page with rating pills, R to roll, Open/Download and a
library link, plus navigation and command palette entries; needs a backend,
hidden in local mode.
nginx: /random negotiates on Accept so browsers keep getting the SPA while
scripts get the JSON (verified with the proxy and frontend containers).
Also fixes a regression from the SSRF change: the guest download proxy
still referenced the removed 'parsed' variable on its success path, so
every proxied download would have 500'd. Redirect hops are now covered by
tests with a mocked requests.get.
