# disk_treemap

Just another disk usage analyzer with treemap GUI.

## Pros

* Written in Python. Easy to run, modify and extend. Cross platform support. (Tested on Linux, Windows, and Android with
  Termux.)
* B/S structure. You can run the scanner on a remote machine, and view treemap via a browser on a local machine
* Support save/load a treemap. You can run the scanner on a machine, then copy result to another one and view it.
* Support S3 and S3 compatible object storage service
* Support using [*Everything by voidtools*](https://www.voidtools.com/) to speedup scanning extraordinarily.

## Cons

* The web base frontend may suffer from performance issue if the treemap is too large.

# Installation

## Install via pip package installer

```shell
pip install disk_treemap
```

## Build and install from source

**dependencies:**
* npm: `npm` must be in `PATH` to build static. Make sure NodeJS and npm is installed and in `PATH`.

```shell
# clone the repository
git clone 
git submodule update --recursive
# build static
python3 setup.py build_static

#build wheel
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
#install built wheel 
pip install dist/disk_treemap-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl # change the filename
```

# Usage

```
usage: disk-treemap [-h] [--size-tree-path SIZE_TREE_PATH] [--overwrite]
                    [--scan-only] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--compression]
                    [--endpoint-url ENDPOINT_URL] [--follow-links]
                    [--follow-mounts] [--everything]
                    [paths ...]

positional arguments:
  paths                 path(s) to scan. If multiple paths is provided, they
                        will be show in root side by side. S3 or compatible
                        object storage service is supported by a "s3://"
                        prefixed URI

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --size-tree-path SIZE_TREE_PATH, --size_tree_path SIZE_TREE_PATH, -f SIZE_TREE_PATH
                        path to save scan result as a JSON file
  --overwrite, -o       overwrite existed JSON file. default to False
  --scan-only, --scan_only, -s
                        scan and save JSON file but do not start web server.
                        default to False
  --host HOST, -H HOST  listening host of the web server
  --port PORT, -p PORT  listening port of the web server. default to 8000
  --compression, -c     enable compression of web server. require
                        flask_compress to operate. default to False
  --endpoint-url ENDPOINT_URL
                        custom endpoint url, only affects S3
  --follow-links, --follow_links
                        follow symlinks
  --follow-mounts, --follow_mounts
                        follow mounts
  --everything          use Everything by voidtools to speedup scanning. The
                        result will be absolute path. Everything must be
                        running and only x64 version is supported.
```

You may also use the module directly: `python -m disk_treemap.main`. Same arguments apply.

A `size_tree.json` will be generated in the current directory. It contains file tree and file size information. Keep it
safe!

# Typical Usage

**Analyze an ordinary computer**

1. Run `disk-treemap <Paths to analyze>`
   
1. After `listening 127.0.0.1:8000` appearing, open browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 .

**Analyze a Windows computer with Everything x64 installed**

1. Make sure Everything x64 is running. Get it from https://www.voidtools.com/ if it's not installed. It's free.

1. Run `disk-treemap --everything <Paths to analyze>`
   
1. After `listening 127.0.0.1:8000` appearing, open browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 .

**Analyze a remote Linux server, view on the local machine**

1. Run `disk-treemap <Paths to analyze> --host 0.0.0.0`.

   If bandwidth between the server and the local machine is limited, try to install optional dependencies and append `--compression` to command above to enable compression.

1. After `listening 0.0.0.0:8000` appearing, open browser on the local machine and navigate to http:
   //<IP address of the server>:8000 .

**Analyze a remote Linux server without external accessible IP, view on the local machine**

1. Run `disk-treemap <Paths to analyze> --scan_only`

1. After process exit without error. There should be a file named `size_tree.json` in the current directory. Copy the
   file to local machine using `rsync` or other tools.

1. Run `disk-treemap` in the directory where the copied file located.

1. After `listening 127.0.0.1:8000` appearing, open browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 .

**Install and analyze an Android phone with Termux**

1. Install Termux https://termux.com/

1. Install Python and pip in Termux https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Python

1. Install disk_treemap via pip: `pip install disk_treemap`

1. Just do analyze as your phone is an ordinary computer.

# TODO

* Provide more visualization. Icicle/flame, sunburst maybe.

* Use NTFS USN Journal to speed up scanning on Windows.
