Tiny-Python-Snapshot-Server
The following sample runs a web server on port 8080 and captures images every 5 seconds.
Usage- Save the script as 'snapshot.py' at the root of the /home directory.
- Make 'snapshot.py' executable with 'chmod +x snapshot.py'.
- Run the script from the /home directory: './snapshot.py' or on boot using the '@reboot' cron directive.
- Access the latest snapshot using a web browser like this: "http://localhost:8080/latest.jpg". Replace with the IP address or the domain name of the tiny web server to access the snapshot server remotely.
- 'snapshot.py' attempts to load the image capture settings for a file named 'snapshot.txt' if it is present in the '/home' directory. If it does not exist, the script uses default settings as defined in the 'DefaultPictureSettings' variable in the script.
- Ensure that the security settings on the 'snapshot.txt' and 'snapshot.py' files restrict access to the intended user / user group.
