Gocommands can be installed via conda if you are using Linux or Mac OS. Unfortunately, Windows system is not yet supported. Please follow instructions below to install.

Add conda-forge channel to conda. This is required because Gocommands is added to conda-forge channel.

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

Install Gocommands with conda.

conda install gocommands

Gocommands understands the iCommands' configuration files, ~/.irods/irods_environment.json. To create iCommands' configuration file, run gocmd init to create the configuration file under ~/.irods.

gocmd init

If you already have iCommands' configuration files, you don't need any steps to do.

To check what configuration files you are loading

gocmd env

Run ls.

gocmd ls

Gocommands can read configuration from an YAML file.

Create config.yaml file using an editor and type in followings.

irods_host: "data.cyverse.org"
irods_port: 1247
irods_user_name: "your username"
irods_zone_name: "iplant"
irods_user_password: "your password"

When you run Gocommands, provide the configuration file's path with -c flag.

gocmd -c config.yaml ls

Some of field values, such as irods_user_password can be omitted if you don't want to put it in clear text. Gocommands will ask you to type the missing field values in runtime.

Gocommands can read configuration from environmental variables. Environmental variables have the highest priority, so configuration values will be overwritten if environmental variables are set.

Set environmental variables

export IRODS_HOST="data.cyverse.org"
export IRODS_PORT=1247
export IRODS_USER_NAME="your username"
export IRODS_ZONE_NAME="iplant"
export IRODS_USER_PASSWORD="your password"

Then run Gocommands.

gocmd ls

Some of field values, such as IRODS_USER_PASSWORD can be omitted if you don't want to put it in clear text. Gocommands will ask you to type the missing field values in runtime.

Gocommands provides file encryption feature to store cofidential data on iRODS. The encryption encrypts filename and content with a strong encryption algorithm (AES256-CTL) before uploading files to iRODS. Also, it can decrypts filename and content after downloading enrypted files from iRODS. By default, Gocommands uses RSA + AES256-CTL algorithm for encryption with your SSH public key ($HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) and private key ($HOME/.ssh/id_rsa).

put, get, and ls supports file encryption.

To upload a file with encryption, use --encrypt flags.

gocmd put --encrypt file1.txt

To specify a SSH public key file, use --encrypt_pub_key flag.

gocmd put --encrypt --encrypt_pub_key id_rsa.pub file1.txt

After uploading the file, you will see that the file will have a new encrypted filename with .rsaaesctr.enc extension.

To download an encrypted file, use --decrypt flag.

gocmd get --decrypt XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.rsaaesctr.enc

To specify a SSH private key file, use --decrypt_priv_key flag.

gocmd get --decrypt --decrypt_priv_key id_rsa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.rsaaesctr.enc

When listing a directory, use --decrypt flag to display original filenames.

gocmd ls --decrypt dir1

To specify a SSH private key file, use --decrypt_priv_key flag.

gocmd ls --decrypt --decrypt_priv_key id_rsa my_encryption_key dir1

put, bput, or sync subcommands throw SYS_NOT_ALLOWED error if iRODS server does not support data replication. To disable data replication, use --no_replication flag.
