# Journal Keeping Script [aka Personal Diary (pd)]
# Author : Prithu Goswami <prithugoswami524@gmail.com>
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Prerequisites : make sure these programs are available on the
# machine:
# 'rclone'
# 'vim'
# 'gpg' (v2)
#
# This script opens a temp file in a vim buffer and after wrting
# and quiting from vim, it appends the contents to the file
# 'pd_path' that is in the 'pd_dir' in the $HOME dir of the machine,
# with a date and timestamp.
#
# NOTE : 'rclone' should be configured
# with a remote first. run 'rlone config'.
# The remote should have directory with the encrypted 'pd' file
# Path to remote directory should be stored in 'rclone_dir'
#
# I use 'rclone' to sync the journal to my dropbox
# the script first fetches any changes done to the pd file,
# decryptis it using 'gpg' using the passhprase-file as '$HOME/.pdkey'
# and then appends the entry, encrypts it and uploads it.
#
# VARIABLES
#
# 'key_path' : passphrase for AES encrypted file
# default alogrithm used by gpg v2.2 is AES-128 according
# to the man page
# 'pd_dir' : The directory where the pd file is stored
# 'pd_path' : The path to the pd file
# 'rclone_dir' ; The direrctory of the pd file on the 'remote'
# in this case the 'remote' is 'drop:'
#
# NOTE :
# Make sure there already exists a symmetrically encrypted AES file
# in 'pd_path' and also in 'rclone_dir'
#
# To symmetrically encrypt an empty file run:
# `touch empty ; gpg2 --passphrase <secret> --batch -o pd -c empty`
# this should create an symmetrically encrypted AES file named 'pd' with
# the passphrase <secret>
# This is not the most secure thing in the world I don't even intend it
# to be. So anyways, the <secret> has to be saved as .pdkey in your home
# directory or elsewhere ( if you're saving it elsewhere, then change
# the 'key_path' variable accordingly
