# Instagram2Fedi Docs 📜
## How to use
You can use Instagram2Fedi via docker or just like a python script
** Note: ** _Credentials can be complicated. Running without Instagram credentials (`user-name` and `user-password`) appears to work for a short period of time but will, eventually, fail. Providing credentials will work unless Instagram issues a challenge. Recommend leaving `user-name` blank if running as a scheduled job (`--scheduled`) and providing them otherwise._
### With Docker 🐋
Specify your variables in `./env.sh` and then run `./run.sh`
You can modify `docker run` arguments in `./run.sh`
### Just a python script 🐍
Run `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` and then run `./insta2fedi`.
Specify your arguments. You should use `--use-docker 0`.
For example:
``` bash
./insta2fedi --use-docker false --instagram-user <instagram username> --instance <instance domain> --token <OAuth token> --check-interval 10 --post-interval 10 --use-mastodon 4 --user-name <admin> --user-password <admin>
# will check for new post each 10 seconds
```
## Command line arguments 🖥
`--use-mastodon` - set not positive number (`0`, `-1`...) if your instance don't have max image count limit.
For example, default maximum photo count in mastodon is `4`
---
`--instance` - Your instance url
---
`--instagram-user` - Your fetched instagram account user name.
---
`--user-name` - Your instagram user name.
---
`--user-password` - Your instagram password.
---
`--token` - Your OAuth token
---
`--check-interval` - Interval in seconds how often to check for new posts
---
`--post-interval` - Interval in seconds between posting new fetched posts.
If theres more than one new post, sets with which time interval should it post them
---
`--fetch-count` - How many new posts to select
---
`--use-docker` - If you're running it via docker container, set to `1` or `True`
---
`--scheduled` - If set, Instagram2Fedi runs once instead of sleeping for `check-interval` and running forever. This is intended for use as a `cron` job. No additional parameter is needed, just add `--scheduled`.
---
`--verbose` - If set, output all logs including secrets. No additional parameter is needed, just add `--scheduled`.
