image_upload/README.md

# image_upload

Requires Python >= 3.9 👍

* install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
* create static images folder: `mkdir -p ./static/images`
* launch the application: `python upload.py`

# deploy

```
pip install gunicorn
gunicorn --bind 127.0.0.1:5000 upload:APP
```

## nginx

Something like this. You need to replace `<DOMAIN>` / `<YOUR-MESSAGE>` /
`<ABS-PATH>`. It's advised to protect `image_upload` behind some form of
authentication to avoid nasty surprises.

```
upstream gunicorn {
  server 127.0.0.1:5000 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
  listen 80;
  listen 443 ssl;

  server_name <DOMAIN>;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://gunicorn;
    auth_basic "<YOUR-MESSAGE>";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
  }

  location /static/images/ {
    autoindex on;
    alias /var/www/<ABS-PATH>/static/images/;
  }
}
```

## systemd

```
[Unit]
Description=image_upload
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
User=<USER>
WorkingDirectory=<ABS-PATH>
ExecStart=<ABS-PATH>/.venv/bin/gunicorn --bind 127.0.0.1:5000 upload:APP

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

You should replace `<USER>` with your preferred system user. `<ABS-PATH>`
should be the system path when the repository is cloned. Note, a virtual
environment should be created at `<ABS-PATH>/.venv/...` with the dependencies
installed.
