What is it?
- Simple file-sharing on HTTP (like
python -m http.serveron steroids) - Shows thumbnails for images/videos/others using vignette
- Supports audio/video file seeking (
python -m http.serverdoes not!) - Can display a slideshow using baguettebox
- HTTP basic auth for access protection
- Few dependencies
- Free license (WTFPLv2)
- Usable through WSGI or standalone
Install
From PyPI:
pipx install httpmedia
Configuration
Command-line arguments (not for WSGI)
--bind=ADDRESS--root=DIR: more prioritary than$HTTPMEDIA_ROOTif present, defaults to current directory if neither is set--auth=USER:PASSWORD: protect with HTTP basic auth--auth=env: same as above but fetch credentials from$HTTPMEDIA_USERand$HTTPMEDIA_PASSWORD--auth-realm=REALM: HTTP basic auth realm (can be useful to distinguish different auths on the same host)PORT
Env vars (typically for WSGI)
HTTPMEDIA_ROOT: directory to be publishedHTTPMEDIA_BASEURL: useful when reverse proxied, thumbnails and static resources will be refered to be under that base url so request are directed to httpmedia by the reverse proxy
Run in a container
podman build -t localhost/httpmedia -f Containerfile
podman run --rm -n httpmedia -v /your/files:/media -p 8000:8000 -e HTTPMEDIA_BASEURL=https://your.example/medias/ localhost/media
