Installation and setup.
This assumes you already have some hosted static files and ssh configured with write permissions to that directory. Images are copied to the host via scp. Thus authentication is deferred to other systems like VPN and SSH, and hosting is deferred to static web servers like nginx. This tool is only a convenience to normalize/strip image data and upload the files.
The client depends on imagemagick, sshfs, and xclip. The host only needs to serve ssh and static files.
apt install imagemagick sshfs xclip
Clone the repository, and install it via tool like pipx or uv.
uv tool install 'imup@git+https://git.allemangd.dev/me/imup.git'
Configure imup with ~/.config/imup.toml. For example, my config is:
[imup]
target = "imup-host:/var/www/i.allemangd.dev"
base_url = "https://i.allemangd.dev/"
Granted write permissions to /var/www/i.allemangd.dev to my ssh user, and configure an ssh host with keys for that user.
# ssh config
Host imup-host
HostName ...
User ...
IdentifyFile ...
Configure the static file host; for example on my host I have the following nginx server config:
# nginx config
server {
listen 80;
# (ssl settings omitted)
server_name i.allemangd.dev;
location / {
root /var/www/i.allemangd.dev/;
}
}
