PhotoBackup Python server

The Python3 implementation of PhotoBackup server, made with Flask. It follows more or less the official API.

Well, this is a first try to support a multi-user backup system, the Android application to be used are:

https://github.com/PhotoBackup/client-android

The url to be used are in the form:

https://your-server.exemple.org/photobackup/[email protected]/

But, for now, the password are for now the same for all users.

Well your photos are automatically sorted by in the form, based on URL and exif tags:

MediaRoot/yourdomain.org/user/yyyy_mm_dd/your-picture.jpg

On Debian, you need to install the following dependancies:

apt-get install nginx uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3 python3-flask python3-logbook python3-urllib3 python-configparser

Installation

git clone https://github.com/psychedelys/photobackup-server-flask.git 

• Copy the config template to config production

  cp ./etc/configuration.ini.sample ./etc/configuration.ini

• Edit the config production

  editor_troll ./etc/configuration.ini

• Get the exifread folder from https://github.com/ianare/exif-py.git

Usage

• Run-it as it, to test dependancy or to run-it without uwsgi:

  python3 photobackup/photobackup.py

• Run-it using uwsgi with Nginx in front

  • cp contrib/nginx/photobackup /etc/nginx/sites-available/
  • ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/photobackup /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
  • cp contrib/uwsgi/photobackup.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/
  • ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/photobackup.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/

• Manual testing of uwsgi:

  uwsgi --plugins python3 --master --module photobackup.photobackup --callable app --protocol=http --socket :8240

Production

It's better to use uwsgi, or something like gunicorn behind your webserver.
