This uses the Zotero and reMarkable API to keep your reMarkable updated with a folder from Zotero. In short, it fetches a collection from zotero, uses CalDAV to download all corresponding .pdf and .epub files and finally uploads them to the reMarkable cloud. Finally, the zotero collection is cleared to prevent uploading the same file multiple times (so dont use it on your main library but create a separate fodler!)
Install via pip:
> pip install git+https://github.com/danijoo/sync_zotero_remarkableIf you're using Debian or Ubuntu, you either need to execute the script with its exact location:
~/.local/bin/sync_zotero_rm Or add ~/.local/bin to your $PATH by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file as described here:
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
On first run, you will be asked to provide login information to zotero, your associated caldav api and remarkable:
sync_zotero_rm
zot_api_key: *******
zot_user_id: *******
zot_collection: unread_files
webdav_url: *******
webdav_user: *******
webdav_password: *******
rm_folder: Read me!Caution: All login credentials are stored in clear text in your home
folder (~/.zotero_remarkable.yaml). So you probably do not want to use this
on publicly accessible devices.
If you later want to adjust the configuration, e.g. changing the Zotero collection or the folder on your reMarkable, simply change ~/.zotero_remarkable.yaml accordingly.
And then:
Fetching collection from Zotero... Done.
Fetching item list... Done.
