# Image API
This is an Actix-web server for serving images and videos from a filesystem.
Upon first run it will generate thumbnails for all images and videos at `BASE_PATH`.

## Environment
There are a handful of required environment variables to have the API run.
They should be defined where the binary is located or above it in an `.env` file.
You must have `ffmpeg` installed for streaming video and generating video thumbnails.

- `DATABASE_URL` is a path or url to a database (currently only SQLite is tested)
- `BASE_PATH` is the root from which you want to serve images and videos
- `THUMBNAILS` is a path where generated thumbnails should be stored
- `BIND_URL` is the url and port to bind to (typically your own IP address)
- `SECRET_KEY` is the *hopefully* random string to sign Tokens with
- `RUST_LOG` is one of `off, error, warn, info, debug, trace`, from least to most noisy [error is default]
