I made this because I wanted to be able to get my zotero library onto my reMarkable and I did not want to use a cloud server to do so. This is possible because you can ssh into a reMarkable and run any executable that is compiled for Linux ARMv7.
Download the executable from here. Copy it on your reMarkable using scp
and run it with rm-zoterosync &
so that it executes in the backgroud.
You have to specify 2 environment variables before running it on your reMarkable: ZOTERO_USERID
(which is not your username and you can find it at here) and ZOTERO_APIKEY
.
- The go code will only sync your zotero collections for which a folder in your remarkable exists with the exact same name.
- All the files that are downloaded from Zotero are saved in
My Files
and not inside any folder, this is due to the fact that I can't specify the folder I want to use when using the upload API provided by the WebUI. - All the files that you want to sync should have a public URL present in their Zotero metadata. (This could be modified if this utility downloaded the files directly from Zotero, but it was not neccessary for me)
If you want to compile the source code on your own you have to use the Go compiler and set these environment variables before compiling: GOOS="linux"
, GOARCH="arm"
and GOARM=7
