Archey 4

Archey is a simple system information tool written in Python

Why (again) a f*cking new Archey fork ?

The answer is here.

Note : Since the 21st September of 2017, you may notice that this repository no longer has the official status of fork.
Actually, the maintainer decided to separate it from the original one's "network" with the help of GitHub's staff.
Nevertheless, this piece of software is still a fork of djmelik's Archey project.

Features

Run as quickly as possible
Stay as light as possible
Keep entries ordered despite parallelism
Extensive local and public IP addresses detection
General temperature detection
JSON output
Screen capture ("best effort")
Custom entries

Supported platforms

BSD and derivatives
Darwin (macOS)
GNU/Linux distributions
WSL

Details here.

What does it look like ?

Archey 4 complete preview

Which packages do I need to run this project ?

Required packages

python3 (>= 3.6)
python3-distro (python-distro on Arch Linux)
python3-netifaces (python-netifaces on Arch Linux)

PyPy is supported and may replace CPython.

Looking for Python 3.4 support ? Please refer to the latest v4.9 release.
Looking for Python 3.5 support ? Please refer to the latest v4.10 release.

Highly recommended packages

Environments	Packages	Reasons	Notes
All	`procps` (maybe `procps-ng`)	Many entries would not work as expected	Would provide `ps`
All	`dnsutils` (maybe `bind-tools`)	WAN_IP would be detected faster	Would provide `dig`
All	`lm-sensors` (maybe `lm_sensors`)	Temperature would be more accurate	N/A
macOS (Darwin)	`iStats` or `osx-cpu-temp`	Temperature wouldn't be detected without it	N/A
Graphical (desktop)	`pciutils` or `pciconf`	GPU wouldn't be detected without it	Would provide `lspci`/`pciconf`
Graphical (desktop)	`wmctrl`	WindowManager would be more accurate	N/A
Virtual w/o `systemd`	`virt-what`	Model would contain details about the hypervisor	root privileges required

Installation

Install from package

First, grab a package for your distribution from the latest release here.
Now, it's time to use your favorite package manager. Some examples :

Arch-based distributions : pacman -U ./archey4-4.X.Y.Z-R-any.pkg.tar.zst
Debian-based distributions : apt install ./archey4_4.X.Y.Z-R_all.deb
RPM-based distributions : dnf install ./archey4-4.X.Y.Z-R.py??.noarch.rpm

Further information about packaging are available here.

Install from PyPI

pip3 install archey4

Install from AUR

yay -S archey4

Install from Homebrew

brew install archey4

Install from FreeBSD ports

pkg install archey4

Install from source

Step 1 : Fetch sources

# If you want the latest release :
wget -qO archey4.tar.gz "https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4/archive/v4.15.0.0.tar.gz"
tar xvzf archey4.tar.gz
cd archey4-*/

# If you want the latest revision :
git clone https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4.git
cd archey4/

Step 2 : Installation

# If you have PIP installed on your system :
pip3 install .

# But if you don't have PIP, no worries :
python3 setup.py install

Step 3 (optional) : Configuration

# System-wide configuration file (privileges required) :
install -D -m0644 config.json /etc/archey4/config.json

# User-specific configuration file :
install -D -m0644 config.json ~/.config/archey4/config.json

Step 4 (optional) : Standalone building

Some years ago, Archey was a simple and unique Python file.
Project evolved, and now it's a Python package.
Some procedures below walk you through several ways of building Archey as a standalone program.

# Using Nuitka (recommended) :
apt install -y patchelf
pip3 install nuitka
python3 -m nuitka \
    --onefile \
    --include-package=archey.logos \
    --output-filename=archey \
    --output-dir=dist \
    --quiet \
    archey/__main__.py

# Using PEX (recommended) :
pip3 install pex
pex \
    -o dist/archey \
    -m archey \
    .

# Since v4.10 logos are dynamically imported for performance purposes.
# This means that we have to explicitly make Stickytape and PyInstaller include them.
# Please **replace** `debian` identifier below by yours (multiple flags allowed).

# Using Stickytape :
pip3 install stickytape
stickytape \
    --copy-shebang \
    --add-python-path . \
    --output-file dist/archey \
    --add-python-module archey.logos.debian \
    archey/__main__.py
chmod +x dist/archey

# Using PyInstaller :
pip3 install pyinstaller
pyinstaller \
    --distpath dist \
    --specpath dist \
    --name archey \
    --onefile archey/__main__.py \
    --hidden-import archey.logos.debian \
    --log-level WARN

Resulting program may now be installed system-wide (privileges required).

# Standalone execution.
./dist/archey

# System-wide install.
install -D -m0755 dist/archey /usr/local/bin/archey

Usage

archey --help

or if you only want to try this out (for instance, from source) :

python3 -m archey --help

Configuration (optional)

Since v4.3.0, Archey 4 may be "tweaked" a bit with external configuration.
You can place a config.json file in these locations :

/etc/archey4/config.json (system preferences)
~/.config/archey4/config.json (user preferences)
./config.json (local preferences)

If an option is defined in multiple places, it will be overridden according to the order above (local preferences > user preferences > system preferences).

Alternatively, you may specify your own configuration file with the -c command-line option.

The example file provided in this repository lists exhaustively the parameters you can set.
Below stand further descriptions for each available (default) option :

{
	// If set to `false`, configurations defined afterwards won't be loaded.
	// Developers running Archey from the original project may keep in there the original `config.json`,
	//   while having their own external configuration set elsewhere.
	"allow_overriding": true,
	// Set to `false` to disable multi-threaded loading of entries.
	"parallel_loading": true,
	// If set to `true`, any execution warning or error would be hidden.
	// Configuration parsing warnings **would** still be shown.
	"suppress_warnings": false,
	// Use this option to specify a custom color for entries (logo won't be affected).
	// Value should be a string suitable for inclusion in the ANSI/ECMA-48 escape code for setting graphical rendition
	//
	// For instance "5;31;47" would result in red text blinking on white background.
	// See <https://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/terminalcodes> for more information.
	"entries_color": "",
	// Set this option to `false` to force Archey to use its own colors palettes.
	// `true` by default to honor os-release(5) `ANSI_COLOR` option.
	"honor_ansi_color": true,
	// Set this option to an alternative logo style identifier instead of the default one for your distro.
	// For example, "retro" would show the retro styled Apple's logo on Darwin platforms.
	// You can set it to "none" to completely hide distribution logo.
	// Note that the `--logo-style` argument overrides this setting.
	"logo_style": "",
	// Enable icons for entries.
	// A terminal "nerd font" is required to display the icons. Otherwise, these are simply missing and a placeholder will be seen.
	// You can also refer to : <https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts>.
	// Make sure that your system locale supports UTF-8.
	"entries_icon": false,
	// Entries list.
	// Add a `disabled` option set to `true` to temporary hide one.

Test cases

An extensive test suite is available.
Here is a short procedure to run them (you'll only need python3) :

git clone https://github.com/HorlogeSkynet/archey4.git
cd archey4/
python3 -m unittest

Any improvement would be appreciated.

Notes to users

For a good ASCII art display, a terminal monospaced font is recommended (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font).
If you experience any trouble during the installation or usage, please do open an issue.
If you had to tweak this project to make it work on your system, please open a pull request so as to share your modifications with the rest of the world and participate in this project !
If your distribution is not (currently) supported, please check How do I add a distribution to Archey?.

Notes to developers

Don't forget to check the Info for contributors wiki page.
Any patch sent by e-mail will get properly reviewed.
