== Overview

Initially, I just wanted a server that I could upload images to, and quickly serve back. While it's mostly that, it is the client and server side tooling.

The files are stored in mongoDB, using its GridFS.

== Usage

Server side For a basic start, make sure mongo is running on the localhost, and run: ./imgsrv -server 2013/02/12 13:03:37 0.0.0.0 2013/02/12 13:03:37 Serving on 0.0.0.0:7777 ...

For something a bit more complicated, like an openshift diy-0.1 cartridge, set your .openshift/action_hooks/start to: nohup ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/bin/server
-server
-ip ${OPENSHIFT_INTERNAL_IP}
-port 8080
-mongo-host ${OPENSHIFT_NOSQL_DB_URL}
>> ${OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR}/server.log 2>&1 &

Client side: Either pass the -remotehost flag pointing to your server instance

imgsrv -remotehost http://hurp.til.derp.com:7777 -put ./lolz.gif -keywords 'cats,lols'

or setup your ~/.imgsrv.yaml, with a the value 'remotehost', like so:

remotehost: http://hurp.til.derp.com:7777

then you can drop that flag out, for quicker lolzing:

imgsrv -put ./lolz.gif -keywords 'cats,lols' 2013/02/12 13:00:28 POSTing: http://hurp.til.derp.com:7777/f/?filename=lolz.gif&keywords=cats,lols 2013/02/12 13:00:29 New Image!: http://hurp.til.derp.com:7777/f/lolz.gif

== Dependencies

go get launchpad.net/goyaml go get labix.org/v2/mgo

and put this imgsrv in your GOPATH, since it references itself.

== Building

Either

git clone git:///imgsrv.git cd imgsrv go build ./imgsrv

or

go get github.com/vbatts/imgsrv
