photobackup_bottle 0.1.0

The simplest PhotoBackup server, made with bottle

# PhotoBackup Python server

The Python3 implementation of PhotoBackup server, made with [bottle](http://bottlepy.org/). It follows the [official API](https://github.com/PhotoBackup/api/blob/master/api.raml).

## Installation

Install through [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi):

pip install photobackup_bottle

Then run the installer, which asks for the directory to save your pictures to and the server password:

photobackup init

The script looks for the directory to be writable by the usual www-data user. It fails gracefully if it is not, just warning you to make it work properly. This step creates a photobackup_settings.py file in the current directory, containing:

• MEDIA_ROOT, the directory where the pictures are written in ;

• PASSWORD, the SHA-512 hashed password ;

• PORT, the port (default is 8420).

## Usage

Launch the server with:

photobackup run

By default, it runs on host 0.0.0.0, port 8420 and reloads automatically.

## Production

To put in production, use something like [gunicorn](http://gunicorn.org/) behind your webserver.
