Gofoil is a tool written in Go, inspired by Tinfoil's python remote_install_pc.py and utilizing bycEEE/tinfoilusbgo.

The motivation behind this tool was to transfer Switch saves from a NAS to a Switch without requiring a computer to be powered up. No client provided samba or NFS, so this was designed as an always on server to run on my NAS, that can handshake with Tinfoil-like net install and serve files directly from there.

This tool has been tested with Awoo Installer on Atmosphere and may also work with Tinfoil, although it has not been tested.

User guide

To run gofoil, you need to provide it a few arguments, like the host IP, port, and folder to scan for Switch files.

Example, on a windows machine (and shared network):

gofoil.exe -root Z:\ -folders Downloads,Games/switch -ip 192.168.1.95 -port 8000

On linux:

./gofoil -root /volume1/ -folders Games -ip 192.168.1.2 -port 8000

It will start a server at the ip:port indicated. You can open this page (on your phone for example) to show a page where you can input your Switch's IP.

With Awoo or Tinfoil opened on your Switch, and the network install selected, you should now see a list of files from the directory, available to install.

Changelog

v1.0

Initial release. Please refer to readme for more info.
Releases for Windows, Linux amd64, arm5/6/7.
