Can I use local cache only?

[muukii]

I want to use Rome as local cache only.
That is useful when I using git-worktree.

This is certainly doable.

However how do you see this working with the remote cache?

1. How would the list command work? Should a cache specifier be added (--local | --remote=s3)?
2. Do you expect any changes in upload/download behaviour when both a local and a remote cache are specified?
3. If just a local cache is specified how should upload/download --skip-local-cache work? Do nothing?

@muukii If you need to use the feature "right now" as a work-around you can just provide fake AWS credentials and a fake name for the S3-Bucket. Then use the normal upload/download commands. Rome will fail uploading to the network but should copy to/from your local cache.

@blender
Thank you. I'll try that work-around.

I think that Rome should have --local-only option.
if Rome received --local-only option then cache to local only.
if Rome received no option then cache to both remote and local.

I would love to see this feature, I'm willing to help implement it, I just need some initial guidance.

@muukii @caynan I'm at work on it but it's requiring some major code refactoring to avoid a ton of duplication.

The idea i'm going for is that in your RomeFile you can specify ONLY a "local" key, at which point rome will only do things locally.

If you specify only "S3-Bucket" or both "S3-Bucket" and "local" you get the current behaviour.

@caynan Thank for the availability, you can follow the progress here: #63

@muukii @caynan please try pre-release https://github.com/blender/Rome/releases/tag/v0.11.0.25

in your Romefile you can just specify local = some/path/ in the [Cache] section. The S3-Bucket key is now optional. If you have both keys specified you get the old behaviour.

@blender I will try it in a bit, you're the best. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, I realized the code base is in Haskell and I don't have any knowledge of it :/

[tmspzz]

@caynan Thanks, I am glad of your appreciation. I encourage you to try your hand at Haskell :) Let me know if you encounter any bugs with this version.

[muukii]

@blender whoa! Thank you! I'll try it!
