ozx

A toy CLI for archving an OME-Zarr hierarchy into a .ozx file per RFC-9.

Usage

Requires a recent rust toolchain.

# Clone and enter this repository
git clone https://github.com/clbarnes/ozx.git
cd ozx

# Optionally, install the `ozx` tool
cargo install --path .
# Alternatively, replace all `ozx` invocations below with `cargo run --`
# or `cargo run --release --` to do it faster

# If you don't have any OME-Zarr data available,
# you can fetch some with
./fetch_kingsnake.sh
# which populates `./fixtures/kingsnake.ome.zarr/`

# See the tool's help text
ozx --help
ozx create --help

# Create an OZX archive, with your data or kingsnake
ozx create --force ./fixtures/kingsnake.ozx ./fixtures/kingsnake.ome.zarr

You can also directly install the tool with cargo install ozx.

Limitations

This was originally intended as an exploration of the format rather than a production tool, and is currently limited to local OME-Zarr stores and runs synchronously on a single thread.
