This server is designed to automate the processing of images via URL configurations and to serve them via a basic HTTP server. It handles image downloading, MD5-based naming for caching, format conversion, and basic HTTP responses.
- Image Downloading: Downloads images from URLs specified in a configuration file.
- MD5 Hash Naming: Uses MD5 hashing to uniquely identify and store images to avoid duplicates.
- Image Conversion: Converts downloaded images to a specified format and stores them for quick retrieval.
- HTTP Server: Serves images over HTTP on a specified port and provides a directory listing as an index page.
Ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- GCC Compiler or equivalent for compiling the project.
- cURL for handling URL downloads (
libcurl). - ImageMagick for image processing.
- OpenSSL for MD5 hashing (
libssl).
- Clone the repository:
git clone [repository-url]
cd [project-directory]- Compile the source code and run
make
./main
Prepare a configuration file (/opt/config.txt) with URLs of images to be processed:
http://example.com/image1.jpg
http://example.com/image2.jpg
Start the server and access it through a web browser or a client at http://localhost:8080. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to view the index page listing all available images.
