📜 This software is intended to be used for personal backups and educational purposes only. Check your local laws before using this software. For example, in Germany, it is illegal to circumvent DRM, even for personal backups, which is why I only rip discs that I own and do not have DRM of course.

💡 However, I do not support either piracy or DRM. Piracy is unethical for people to make copies of movies and music they do not own. However, there is a distinction between piracy and copying for fair use, which publishers often mistakenly group together. What truly frustrates me is DRM. It is a waste of time. I should not have to deal with region codes or use software like MakeMKV to decrypt a movie that I legally purchased! Unfortunately, the existing copy-protection methods fail to stop piracy and only serve to inconvenience legitimate customers. For example, non of my devices can even play the Deadpool movie I bought because of the DRM on this disc.

💾 Get the executable

Currently we do not provide precompiled binaries. You have to compile the project yourself. This required git and Cargo. You may need to install additional dependencies like libudev-dev and pkg-config on your system (sudo apt-get install libudev-dev pkg-config).

# Create the directory
mkdir ~/ripper-deployment
mkdir ~/ripper-deployment/output
mkdir ~/ripper-deployment/profiles

# Build the rust executable
git clone https://github.com/DevTobias/ripper.git
cd ~/ripper/services/autoripper
cargo build --release
mv -f config.example.json ~/autoripper/config.json
mv -f ../../target/release/ripper ~/autoripper/

# Copy default profiles
cd ~/ripper/
cp -r .profiles/* ~/ripper-deployment/profiles/

# Download the frontend from GitHub into the folder
mkdir -p ~/autoripper/frontend/dist
wget -c https://github.com/tobias-kaerst-software/autoripper/releases/download/v1.0.0/frontend.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C ~/autoripper/frontend/dist

# (Optional) Enable the ripper to run as a service
sudo mv ~/ripper/services/autoripper/deployment/autorip.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start autorip
sudo systemctl enable autorip
