OwnCloud Screenshot Sharing

ocss

OwnCloud Screenshot Sharing

A script to make sharing a screenshot publicly via an Owncloud server easy.

This script takes a screenshot (of a window or rectangular area), uploads it to the configured OwnCloud server, enables public sharing by URL on the uploaded screenshot, and copies the URL to your clipboard.

Dependencies:

Shared:

• curl
• grep

Linux:

• scrot
• notify-send
• xclip

OS X:

• terminal-notifier
• screencapture
• pbcopy

Instructions:

Get ocss.sh by either cloning this repo or downloading the zip. Edit the CONFIG portion of ocss.sh and fill in your details/preferences. By default, it's setup to save screenshots locally to $HOME/Pictures/ocss (config setting: file_dir), so either change that to a directory that exists or create that directory. Also by default, it will upload the screenshots to a folder named "ocss" in your Owncloud root (config setting: oc_ocss_dir_name)... make sure that exists. The default open command that opens a browser to display your new upload is chromium (config setting: open_command).

Run it with the "check" argument to check if all required dependencies exist.

$ ./ocss.sh check

I haven't tested this with OS X, but it's mostly the same code base as imgur-screenshot and that is purported to work in OS X, so it SHOULD work.
