Flask Media Storage

The Media Storage Flask Application is a web-based tool that allows users to store images and videos on a server, edit them in size and watermark, and generate thumbnails for videos.

Getting Started

To get started with the Media Storage Flask Application, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository from GitHub using git clone https://github.com/M4p4/flask-media-storage.git
2. Install the necessary dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Run the application using FLASK_DEBUG=1 flask run -p 3000.
4. Run background worker for image / video progressing with celery -A app.celery worker --loglevel=info.

Config

In the config.py file in the root dir you can configurate image and video settings. You also need to set there an AUTH_KEY because every request needs the AUTH_KEY as param.

There tons of config options in the config file like sizes and quality.

Add Video / Image

To add an Video or Image to the storage you call the /media (http://127.0.0.1:3000/media for local) route with a POST request.

The following params are needed

file - byte array - the file the user uploaded (can be empty)
url - string -  if file is empty and url is given, it downloads file from url
id - string - an id from backend
filename - string - filename from backend can be also a random genrated string
use_watermark - boolean - use watermark in image or video
media_type - string - "video" or "image"
auth - string - AUTH_KEY

As result you get an UID, that can be used to check the status on the /status/<uid> route.

Delete Video / Image

Send a DELETE request to /image/<uid> or /video/<uid> route, with AUTH_KEY as param as auth. This will result in deleting all files related to the UID (Images, Videos and Thumbnails).
