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.
