The Rust PhotoBackup server implementation

This is an experimental version of a PhotoBackup server implementation, made with Rust. It is not recommended to use it on a daiy basis, as it is far from complete and stable. Its main purpose is educational, for its own developer only.

Installation

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

photobackup init <username>

This step creates a .photobackup file in the user's home directory, containing:

• BindAddress, the IP address (default is 127.0.0.1) ;
• MediaRoot, the directory where the pictures are written in ;
• Password, the SHA-512 hashed password ;
• PasswordBcrypt, a Bcrypt-ed version of your SHA-512 hashed password ;
• Port, the port (default is 8420).

Usage

Launch the server with:

photobackup run <username>

By default, it runs on host 127.0.0.1, port 8420.

Production

Don't put it in production!
