DynamicWallpaper

A webui/sync program to change your wallpapers.

Explanation

The server/webui part acts as the interface for any user to add/delete images.

The client/sync should be ran at intervals to keep the local images in-sync with the server, then use any wallpaper program (like feh) to put your wallpaper from the local collection.

Simply Put

• You upload images on the webui (you can delete them too).

• You run the client part and images from the webui server will be synced to your local directory.

• Then you use your favorite wallpaper program to choose at random in your local synced image directory.

Why?

• Learning opportunity.
• Allows multiple computers/friends to share the same collection of wallpapers.

Security

I am but a beginner, I cannot guarantee that there is no exploits.

This is one of the reason I should add a password. On that note, adding some kind of password-protected proxy should be the lazier but simpler option (like NGINX).

Installation

Server

Requirements

• Docker & Docker compose (see the Docker website for installation)

Steps

1. Clone the repo git clone git clone https://github.com/Urpagin/DynamicWallpaper.git

2. Create file .env at the same level as docker-compose.yml and add those varaibles:

PORT=<exposed port>
NGINX_USER=<user for webui auth>
NGINX_PASSWORD=<password for webui auth>

3. Start up the containers sudo docker compose up -d --build

Tip

The --build argument rebuilds the container so that code updates will be reflected onto the container.

4. Visit 127.0.0.1:<PORT> to access the app.

Note

Once you've started the app via Docker compose, the wallpapers_server directory will contain the wallpapers.
