@shadow-drive/cli

Getting Started

Installation

npm install -g @shadow-drive/cli or yarn global add @shadow-drive/cli

The basic flow of Shadow Drive is as follows:

1. Get some $SHDW in your wallet (you will need a command line wallet)
2. Create your storage account with the create storage account command
3. Upload your file(s) with the upload file or upload multiple files commands
4. Optional: Mark your storage account as immutable to permanently lock your files in place with the make storage account immutable command
5. Congratulations, you're now storing your files on Shadow Drive!

Command Reference

Help

Example: shdw-drive help

This command will display all the available commands for the Shadow Drive CLI.

Create Storage Account

Example: shdw-drive create-storage-account --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --name "My Storage Account" --size 10MB

This command will create your storage account for you. You will be shown the estimated $SHDW amount required to create the storage account before continuing with submitting the transaction to Solana and the Shadow Drive Network.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to wallet that will create the storage account
2. Name: What you want your storage account to be named. (Does not have to be unique)
3. Size: Amount of storage you are requesting to create. Should be in a string like '1KB', '1MB', '1GB'. Only KB, MB, and GB storage delineations are supported currently.

Make Storage Account Immutable

Example: shdw-drive make-storage-account-immutable --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json

This will permanently lock your storage account and all files within it. You will not be able to add/reduce storage on this account, delete the storage account, or edit/delete files under this storage account.

When running this command, you will be presented with a list of storage accounts that the wallet passed in, is an admin of, and has authority to make the account immutable.

The stake from the storage account that you mark as immutable will also be deducted and closed.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to make immutable.

Delete Storage Account

Example: shdw-drive delete-storage-account --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json

If the storage account you select is not marked as immutable, you can request to delete the account. Once this request has been fully processed by a crank, your storage account and all files within it will be removed from the Shadow Drive Network. Any remaining stake in your storage account will be returned to you.

You will be presented with a list of storage accounts to choose from that you'd like to undo a deletion request for.

NOTE: Once you submit this request, you will have a grace period of the rest of the current Solana Epoch to undo this request. Once Solana's clock reaches the next epoch, you will not be able to undo this request and your account will be available for a crank to fully process the deletion.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to request for deletion

Undo Storage Account Deletion Request

Example: shdw-drive undelete-storage-account --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json

This will undo a storage account deletion request. When running this command, you will be presented with a list of accounts to choose from that have been requested to be deleted and are still within the grace period.

NOTE: There is a grace period between when you request for your storage account to be deleted and when it's actually deleted. Currently it is set to be within the Solana Epoch that you requested to delete your storage account. For example, if you requested to delete a storage account in Solana Epoch 306, once Solana's clock reaches epoch 307, you are no longer able to undo the deletion request and it will be available for a crank to fully process the deletion.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to undo a deletion request for

Add Storage

Example: shdw-drive add-storage --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --size 10MB

This will add storage capacity to an existing storage account that you select when running this command. When running this command, you will be presented with a list of accounts to choose from.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to add storage capacity to.

Reduce Storage

Example: shdw-drive reduce-storage --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --size 10MB

This will reduce the total storage capacity available for given storage account. When running this command, you will be presented with a list of accounts to choose from.

After reducing storage on a storage account, you can run claim-stake to recover the $SHDW back to your wallet.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to reduce storage on.

Claim Stake

Example: shdw-drive claim-stake --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json

This will claim any available stake as a result of the reduce storage command. You will be presented with a list of storage accounts and the amount of stake claimable to choose from.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to claim stake from.

Upload File

Example: shdw-drive upload-file --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --file ~/Documents/something-important.md

This will upload a file at the supplied path. When uploading a file, you will be presented with a list of storage accounts to choose from and use as the account that stores your file.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to upload to
2. File: Path to the file you want to upload. This can be a relative or absolute path.

Note: If you get the error Server response status message: failed to send transaction: Transaction simulation failed: Transaction leaves an account with a lower balance than rent-exempt minimum it means you do not have the minimum amount of SOL required in your wallet for your account to be rent-exempted after the operation.

Send some SOL to your wallet and try again.

Upload Multiple Files

Example: shdw-drive upload-multiple-files --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --directory ~/Documents/my-expensive-jpgs/

This will allow you to upload all files in a given directory. If the file already exists, the upload for that file will be skipped and you will get back the finalized Shadow Drive URL in the response. When running this command, you will be presented with a list of storage accounts to choose from, and only the ones with enough storage for the entire directory supplied will be selectable.

The log of this command will be written to a .json file in your current directory.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account you want to upload
2. Directory: Path to the folder of files you want to upload.

It is possible some files will not upload - and this will be reflected in the .json file mentioned above. The results are also printed to the terminal when the upload-multiple-files command completes. You can identify which files have failed to upload by searching for 'location: null' in the file.

To re-upload the files that failed to upload when you initially ran the command - simply rerun the same command. The command checks if a file has already been uploaded and then moves on to the files which haven't yet been uploaded.

The following command was used for this, with the folder containing files [0-10].gif & [0-10].json: shdw-drive upload-multiple-files --env mainnet-beta --keypair /home/ssc/.config/solana/test.json -d test_diamond/

Edit File

Example: shdw-drive edit-file --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --file ~/Documents/something-important --url https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/abc123def456ghi789/something-important.md

This will replace a file that exists on Shadow Drive with the new file supplied.

NOTE: The file you are wanting to edit must be the same name of the file that already exists in your storage account. If it does not already exist on Shadow Drive, your request will fail. If the file you want to submit to Shadow Drive has a different name, you must perform a new upload request instead.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account the file was originally uploaded to
2. File: New file you want to upload
3. URL: The Shadow Drive URL of the file that currently exists

Delete File

Example: shdw-drive delete-file --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --url https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/abc123def456ghi789/something-important.md

This will submit a request to delete the file supplied.

NOTE: Once you submit this request, you will have a grace period of the rest of the current Solana Epoch to undo this request. Once Solana's clock reaches the next epoch, you will not be able to undo this request and your file will be available for a crank to fully process the deletion.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account the file was originally uploaded to
2. URL: The Shadow Drive URL of the file you're requesting to delete

Undelete File

Example: shdw-drive undelete-file --keypair ~/.config/solana/id.json --url https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/abc123def456ghi789/something-important.md

This will undo a deletion request for the file supplied if it's still within the grace period.

NOTE: There is a grace period between when you request for your storage account to be deleted and when it's actually deleted. Currently it is set to be within the Solana Epoch that you requested to delete your storage account. For example, if you requested to delete a storage account in Solana Epoch 306, once Solana's clock reaches epoch 307, you are no longer able to undo the deletion request and your file will be available for a crank to fully process the deletion.

Parameters:

1. Keypair: Path to the wallet that is an admin of the storage account the file was originally uploaded to
2. URL: The Shadow Drive URL of the file you're requesting to delete
