🤔 Why Did I Create This Project?

Current image hosting services often require various PHP functions and complex configurations, with inconsistent quality. I wanted to develop a purely handcrafted, open-source image hosting platform. Writing the code myself is also more secure.

😘 Acknowledgments

Thanks to the users in NodeLoc, whose support motivated me to keep going and encouraged me to open-source the project early.

😜 Installation

Hmmm... It is not recommended to download using Git commands to avoid permission issues. Simply upload the files directly to your server, and it's ready to use!

Prerequisites:

• PHP 8.2 or similar (not confirmed)
• MySQL support
• Looking for experts to help test it

1. Modify config.php After setting up the database, go to lines 15-18 of the file:

   HOST → Database domain
   NAME → Database name
   USER → Database username
   PASS → Database password
   

   PS: Be careful when editing the file; do not delete any other symbols.

   Go to lines 20-24:

   WEB → Website URL
   SITE → Site name
   (↓ The values below can be filled in later or left empty)
   MAX_FILE_SIZE → X*X*X
   ALLOWED_TYPES → ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'webp']
   

   Go to lines 26-33 (if you don’t know how to fill these, search for tutorials online):

   EHOST → Email domain provider
   NUM → Email port number
   EUSER → Recipient email
   EPASS → Authorization code
   FUSER → Sender email
   FNAME → Sender name
   SECURE → Protocol (ssl for encrypted, tls for unencrypted)
   

   For the rest, fill them out only if you know how; otherwise, it's best not to touch them.

2. languages/en.php This is the English language pack. You can fill in your own site_title.

🌟 Issues (Problems)

It’s best to report any issues in the issue section, as NL (NodeLoc) might not always check.

✈️ Updates

There is no automatic update feature; you need to download the new version manually.
