imgs

imgs is a minimalictic image sharing web app written with Bottle framework.

No database. No image compression. No time limits. No additional dependencies.

Features:

• Upload images via Drag&Drop
• Easy copy share link
• MIME type detecting

See deployment options in Bottle documentation: https://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/deployment.html

Run imgs in Docker

Clone repository and edit imgs.ini.

Build Docker image:

docker build --tag imgs .

Run container from image. Replace /path/to/your/uploads/dir with path to directory where you want to store images:

sudo docker run --rm --name imgs --detach --publish 127.0.0.1:5000:5000 --volume /path/to/your/uploads/dir:/opt/imgs/uploads imgs

imgs will launched on 127.0.0.1:5000. Set up reverse proxy server. I recommed to use basic authentication to prevent abuses. Nginx virtual host example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.tld;
    root /path/to/imgs/root;

    location / {
        auth_basic "Authentication required";
        auth_basic_user_file /path/to/.htpasswd;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    }

    location ~* ^/favicon.ico$ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location ~* \..* {
        auth_basic off;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    }
}
