The Python3 implementation of PhotoBackup server, made with bottle. It follows the official API.

Install through 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:

• MediaRoot, the directory where the pictures are written in ;
• Password, the SHA-512 hashed password ;
• Port, the port (default is 8420).

Launch the server with:

photobackup run

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

To put in production, use something like gunicorn behind your webserver.
