Anydb is a simple to use commandline tool to store anything you'd
like, even binary files etc. It is a re-implementation of
[skate](https://github.com/charmbracelet/skate) for the following
reasons:
- it's just fun to do
- anydb uses [bbolt](https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt) instead of
badger. bbolt has a stable file format, which doesn't change
anymore. The badger file format on the other hand changes very
often, which is not good for a tool intended to be used for many
years.
- more features:
- output table in list mode uses TAB separator
- better STDIN + pipe support
- supports JSON output
- supports more verbose tabular output
- filtering using regular expressions
- tagging
- filtering using tags
- encryption of entries
- templates for custom output for maximum flexibility
- includes a tiny web server, which serves a restful API
And I wrote a very similar [tool](https://www.daemon.de/projects/dbtool/) 24 years ago and wanted to do it again wit go.
**anydb** can do all the things you can do with skate:

However, there are more features than just that!

## Installation
There are multiple ways to install **anydb**:
- Go to the [latest release page](https://github.com/tlinden/anydb/releases/latest),
locate the binary for your operating system and platform.
Download it and put it into some directory within your `$PATH` variable.
- The release page also contains a tarball for every supported platform. Unpack it
to some temporary directory, extract it and execute the following command inside:
```shell
sudo make install
```
- You can also install from source. Issue the following commands in your shell:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/TLINDEN/anydb.git
cd anydb
make
sudo make install
```
- Or, if you have the GO toolkit installed, just install it like this:
```shell
go install github.com/tlinden/anydb@latest
```
If you do not find a binary release for your platform, please don't
hesitate to ask me about it, I'll add it.
### Using the docker image
A pre-built docker image is available, which you can use to test the
app without installing it. To download:
```shell
docker pull ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latest
```
To execute anydb inside the image do something like this:
```shell
mkdir mydb
docker run -ti -v mydb:/db -u `id -u $USER` -e HOME=/db ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latest set foo bar
docker run -ti -v mydb:/db -u `id -u $USER` -e HOME=/db ghcr.io/tlinden/anydb:latest list -o wide
```
Here, we operate in a local directory `mydb`, which we'll use as HOME
inside the docker container. anydb will store its database in
`mydb/.config/anydb/default.db`.
A list of available images is [here](https://github.com/tlinden/anydb/pkgs/container/anydb/versions?filters%5Bversion_type%5D=tagged)
## Documentation
The documentation is provided as a unix man-page. It will be
automatically installed if you install from source. However, you can
[read the man-page online](https://github.com/TLINDEN/anydb/blob/master/anydb.pod)
Or if you cloned the repository you can read it this way (perl needs
to be installed though): `perldoc anydb.pod`.
If you have the binary installed, you can also read the man page with
this command:
anydb man
## Getting help
Although I'm happy to hear from anydb users in private email, that's the
best way for me to forget to do something.
