I recently started using this for recording all my terminal sessions (without upload). It's pretty neat to be able to go back and replay any session I had. I also threw together a small tool to grep through the output, although it's currently pretty slow: https://github.com/moyix/termgrep https://github.com/moyix/termgrep I stuck this in my .profile to record any session started under tmux and avoid recursive recording. It compresses the logs with zstd when you exit. # Check if not already recording and inside tmux if [ -z "${ASCIINEMA_REC+x}" ] && [ ! -z "$TMUX" ]; then export ASCIINEMA_LOGFILE=/fastdata/asciinema_personal/termlog_$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S.%N).log asciinema rec -q --stdin "$ASCIINEMA_LOGFILE" zstd -T0 --rm "$ASCIINEMA_LOGFILE" exit fi Two weeks of logs (with fairly heavy usage) are about 1GB: $ du -csh /fastdata/asciinema_personal/\*.zst | tail -1 1.3G total
