Have Organize start up and stay running for interaction at the command line, (rather than run a config.yml and close)? about organize HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok, some progress, while I can’t achieve this with the docker_compose.yml, I have has some success with the following Docker run

docker run -dit --rm --name organize \
	  -v "/share/Container/organize/config/":/home/pi/.config/organize/ \
	  -v "/share/Container/organize/logs/":/var/log/organize/ \
	  -v "/share/Container/organize/input/":/Input \
	  -v "/share/Container/organize/output/":/Output \
	  -v "/share/Publications/":/Publications \
	  -v "/share/Movies/":/Movies \
	  docker-organize \
	   "* * * * *"

I tool the “* * * * “ aspect from another docker run I had - so if anyone can explain the difference between the above and the following compose - please let me know..

version: '3'
services: 
  docker-organize:
    image: docker-organize:latest
    container_name: organize
    volumes:
      - /share/Container/organize/output:/Output
      - /share/Container/organize/input:/Input
      - /share/Container/organize/logs:/var/log/organize/
      - /share/Container/organize/config:/home/pi/.config/organize/
      - /share/Publications:/Publications
      - /share/Container:/Containers
      - /share/Movies:/Movies

Thanks for describing the problem. If I understand it correctly you'd like to keep organize running in the background to watch for any changes in the given locations? Maybe something like #18?
This is one of the next features planned for the upcoming releases.

allowing me to then interact with it via the command line so I can run many different config.yml files I have?

Can you elaborate on that? What would this interactive mode look like?

Hi @tfeldmann , thanks so much for responding.

I was not necessarily thinking about watching for something like a folder update, although I can see the benefit there - my uses case is that I have created a number of very focussed config.yml files - that do specific things when I want to run them.

Some times I need to do one thing first to sort stuff out and another to move things around into other folders - yes they can be run in sequence - but the order is not always easy to prescribe or I just want to run one or two on demand.

I don’t recall seeing a UI for Organize, but having it run constantly allows me to explore options like a command line menu of some sort - or I can maybe make calls to run Organize scripts from other systems.

Ok starting with v3 you can already do this:

organize new name1
organize new name2
organize run name1
organize run name2

Maybe you can define some aliases to make this even shorter? Something like alias orun='organize run'?

I'll close this issue but will add "Improve CLI documentation" to my todo list.
