ImageApi/README.md

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 DEFAULT_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.

• 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
