Before using `shiori`, make sure it has been installed on your system. By default, `shiori` will store its data in directory `$HOME/.local/share/shiori`. If you want to set the data directory to another location, you can set the environment variable `SHIORI_DIR` (`ENV_SHIORI_DIR` when you are before `1.5.0`) to your desired path.

## Running Docker Container
> If you are not using `shiori` from Docker image, you can skip this section.
After building or pulling the image, you will be able to start a container from it. To preserve the data, you need to bind the directory for storing database, thumbnails and archive. In this example we're binding the data directory to our current working directory :
- Expose port `8080` in container to port `8080` in host machine (option `-p`).
- Run the container in background (option `-d`).
- Automatically remove the container when it stopped (option `--rm`).
After you've run the container in background, you can access console of the container:
```
docker exec -it shiori sh
```
Now you can use `shiori` like normal. If you've finished, you can stop and remove the container by running :
```
docker stop shiori
```
## Using Command Line Interface
Shiori is composed by several subcommands. To see the documentation, run `shiori -h` :
```
Simple command-line bookmark manager built with Go
Usage:
shiori [command]
Available Commands:
add Bookmark the specified URL
check Find bookmarked sites that no longer exists on the internet
delete Delete the saved bookmarks
export Export bookmarks into HTML file in Netscape Bookmark format
help Help about any command
import Import bookmarks from HTML file in Netscape Bookmark format
open Open the saved bookmarks
pocket Import bookmarks from Pocket's exported HTML file
print Print the saved bookmarks
serve Serve web interface for managing bookmarks
update Update the saved bookmarks
Flags:
-h, --help help for shiori
--portable run shiori in portable mode
Use "shiori [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
### Search syntax
With the `print` command line interface, you can use `-s` flag to submit keywords that will be searched either in url, title, excerpts or cached content.
You may also use `-t` flag to include tags and `-e` flag to exclude tags.
## Using Web Interface
To access web interface run `shiori serve` or start Docker container following tutorial above. If you want to use a different port instead of 8080, you can simply run `shiori serve -p <portnumber>`. Once started you can access the web interface in `http://localhost:8080` or `http://localhost:<portnumber>` if you customized it. You will be greeted with login screen like this :
The first new account you add will become the owner and it will deactivate the "shiori:gopher" default user automatically.
When searching for bookmarks, you may use `tag:tagname` to include tags and `-tag:tagname` to exclude tags in the search bar. You can also use tags dialog to do this :
-`Click` on the tag name to include it;
-`Alt + Click` on the tag name to exclude it.
## Improved import from Pocket
Shiori offers a [Command Line Interface](https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/blob/master/docs/Usage.md#using-command-line-interface) with the command `shiori pocket` to import Pocket entries but with this can only import them as links and not as complete entries.
To import your bookmarks from [Pocket](https://getpocket.com/) with the text and images follow these simple steps (based on [Issue 252](https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/252)):
1. Export your entries from Pocket by visiting https://getpocket.com/export
2. Download [this shell script](https://gist.github.com/fmartingr/88a258bfad47fb00a3ef9d6c38e5699e). [*You need to download this in your docker container or on the device that you are hosting shiori*]. Name it for instance `pocket2shiori.sh`.
> Tip: checkout the documentation for [opening a console in the docker container](https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/blob/master/docs/Usage.md#running-docker-container).
1. Export your entries from Wallabag as a json file
2. Install [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/). You will need this installed before running the script.
3. Download the shell script
[here](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Aerex/01499c66f6b36a5d997f97ca1b0ab5b1/raw/bf793515540278fc675c7769be74a77ca8a41e62/wallabag2shiori). Similar to the `pocket2shiori.sh` script if you are shiori is in a docker container you will next to run this script
inside the container.
4. Execute the script. Here are the commands that you can run.
