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]
