How to prepare media

Upload a local file

delulu upload ./launch.mp4 --alt "Product walkthrough"

The CLI requests a presigned upload, streams the file, completes the media record, and returns a reusable media ID.

Import a public URL

delulu upload https://cdn.example.com/launch.mp4

Public Google Drive share links are normalized by the server. Private Drive files are not supported. URL imports reject private-network destinations, excessive redirects, invalid content types, oversized files, timeouts, and exhausted workspace quota.

Attach media while creating a post

Pass a local path, public HTTPS URL, or existing media ID:

delulu post "Watch this" \
  --to linkedin:connection_abc123 \
  --media ./launch.mp4 \
  --draft

Repeat --media for multiple items. The post command prepares all media and creates the post atomically with one operation journal entry.

Verification

The result must report the media as ready before it is attached. Use delulu show <post-id> to inspect target state after publishing.

Troubleshooting

• Hosted MCP cannot read arbitrary local paths; use import_media with a public URL.
• Keep the original operation key after a network interruption. The CLI reuses identical operations for 24 hours.
• Use --new only when you intentionally want a separate media resource.
