# t0pic

## Website

[pic.t0.vc](https://pic.t0.vc)

## Description

Command line image host.

This allows you to upload images from your command line or browser. A URL to the image is returned.

Images are resized to a max dimension of 1920 px. Don't use this for anything serious.

## Usage

` | curl -F 'pic=@/dev/stdin' https://pic.t0.vc`

You can also upload from the web at [pic.t0.vc](https://pic.t0.vc).

## Example

```text
$ cat kitten.jpg | curl -F 'pic=@/dev/stdin' https://pic.t0.vc
https://pic.t0.vc/YXKV.jpg
$ firefox https://pic.t0.vc/YXKV.jpg
```

### Bash Alias

Add this to your .bashrc, then `source ~/.bashrc`:

```text
alias pic="curl -F 'pic=@/dev/stdin' https://pic.t0.vc"
```

Now you can pipe directly into pic!

```text
$ cat kitten.jpg | pic
https://pic.t0.vc/YXKV.jpg
$ firefox https://pic.t0.vc/YXKV.jpg
```

## Self-hosting

Install dependencies:
```text
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv
```

Clone repo, create a venv, activate it, and install:
```text
$ git clone https://github.com/tannercollin/t0pic.git
$ cd t0pic
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

You can now run it directly:
```text
(env) $ python t0pic.py
```

It's recommended to run t0pic as its own Linux user, kept alive with [supervisor](https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/):
```text
[program:t0pic]
user=t0pic
directory=/home/t0pic/t0pic
command=/home/t0pic/t0pic/env/bin/python -u t0pic.py
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/t0pic.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
stdout_logfile=/var/log/t0pic.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
```

To expose t0pic to http / https, you should configure nginx to reverse proxy:
```text
server {
listen 80;

root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm;

server_name pic.t0.vc;

client_max_body_size 16M;

location = / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5003/;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

location / {
root /home/t0pic/t0pic/data;
}
}
```

Then run `sudo certbot --nginx` and follow the prompts.
