SSDB stands for Supremely Stupid DataBase

The project started as a small training in bash scripting but ended up being very useful storage for local scripts

Key features are:

single script distribution
no DB server needed
extremely simple
snapshot can be edited in vim if needed
clipboard integration
values can be encrypted

Installation

Basicaly you need to copy ssdb executable to somewhere in your $PATH

git clone https://github.com/okoshovetc/ssdb.git
cd ssdb
./runtest.sh
cp ssdb /usr/bin

Usage

# set a key in ssdb
ssdb set key value

# list keys in database
ssdb list

# get a key from ssdb
ssdb get key

# copy a key to system clipboard
ssdb copy key

# store value from clipboard in ssdb
ssdb paste key2

# use another ssdb database
ssdb -D anotherdatabase list

# encrypt your values with openssl
ssdb -e mysecretkey set secretkey value

# read documentation
ssdb help

# read documentation for a specific command
ssdb help set

Examples (some scripts I use daily)

Browser bookmarks

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

export SSDB_DATABASE=links
link=$(ssdb get "$(ssdb list | sort | dmenu -l 30 -p 'Choose a bookmark')")

[ -z "$link" ] && exit 1

chromium-browser --new-window "$link"

Clipboard manager

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

export SSDB_DATABASE=clipboard

mode="${1:-load}"

if [ "$mode" == 'load' ]; then
	clipname=$(ssdb ls | dmenu -l 30 -p 'Choose a link')
	if [ -z "$clipname" ]; then
		echo "Clipname empty"
		exit 1
	fi
	ssdb copy "$clipname"
	exit 0
fi

if [ "$mode" == 'save' ]; then
	clipname=$(printf '' | dmenu -l 30 -p 'Choose a link name' | sed 's/\s/_/g')
	ssdb paste "$clipname"
fi

Password manager

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

xterm -e sh -c "ssdb -D password -r copy $(ssdb -D password list | dmenu -l 30 -p 'Choose a password to copy')"

Zoom meetings launcher

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

export SSDB_DATABASE=zoom
url=$(ssdb list | sort | dmenu -l 30 -p 'Choose your zoom meeting')

killall zoom || true
sleep 0.1

zoom "--url=$(ssdb get "$url")"
