It stores images and allows you to see them, download them or share them on social networks. From version 0.5, the gif images can be displayed as animated gifs in Twitter, but you need a HTTPS server (Twitter requires that. Lutim detects if you have a HTTPS server and displays an static image twitter card if you don't);
Images are indefinitly stored unless you request that they will be deleted at first view or after 24 hours / one week / one month / one year.

* Carton : Perl dependencies manager, it will get what you need, so don't bother for Perl modules dependencies (but you can read the file `cpanfile` if you want).
```shell
sudo cpan Carton
```
or
```shell
sudo apt-get install carton
```
* But, on another hand, some modules that Carton will install need to be compiled. So you will need some tools:
### Thumbnails and animated gifs in Twitter dependancy
If you want to provide thumbnails of uploaded images or have animated gifs in Twitter, you have to install the *ImageMagick* image manipulation software (<http://www.imagemagick.org/>) and the Image::Magick CPAN module.
The `lutim.conf.template` is self-documented but here is the options that you can set:
* **hypnotoad :** address and port to listen to, user and group which runs hypnotoad (if you run Lutim with a different user from what is defined here, be sure that the user which launchs hypnotoad is able to setuid/setgid to the defined user/group, otherwise it will not work and you'll have 100% CPU consumption. Launch hypnotoad with the root user or with the user which is defined here);
* **contact :** write something which make people able to contact you (contact form URL, email address, whatever);
* **secrets :** an array of random string. Used by Mojolicious for encrypting session cookies.
* **piwik_img :** the Piwik image provides you records of visits without javascript (better privacy than js and cookies);
* **length :** length of the random string part of image's URL (default is 8);
* **provis_step :** Lutim provisions random strings for image's URL per pack of `provis_step` (default is 5);
* **provisioning :** number of random strings to provision (default is 100);
* **hosted_by :** if someone hosts your Lutim instance, you can add some HTML (a logo for example) to make it appear on index page;
* **tweet_card_via :** a Twitter account which will appear on Twitter cards;
* **max_file_size :** well, this is explicit (default is 10Mio = 10485760 octets);
* **https :** 1 if you want to provide secure images URLs (default is 0) DEPRECATED, PASS A `X-Forwarded-Proto` HEADER TO LUTIM FROM YOUR REVERSE PROXY INSTEAD;
* **token_length :** length of the secret token used to allow people to delete their images when they want;
* **stats_day_num :** when you generate statistics with `script/lutim cron stats`, you will have stats for the last `stats_day_num` days (default is 365);
* **keep_ip_during :** when you delete IP addresses of image's senders with `script/lutim cron cleanbdd`, the IP addresses of images older than `keep_ip_during` days will be deleted (default is 365);
* **broadcast_message :** put some string (not HTML) here and this message will be displayed on all Lutim pages (not in JSON responses);
* **allowed_domains :** array of authorized domains for API calls. Example: `['http://1.example.com', 'http://2.example.com']`. If you want to authorize everyone to use the API: `['\*']`.
* **default_delay :** what is the default time limit for files? Valid values are 0, 1, 7, 30 and 365;
* **max_delay :** if defined, the images will be deleted after that delay (in days), even if they were uploaded with "no delay" (or value superior to max_delay) option and a warning message will be displayed on homepage;
* **always_encrypt :** if set to 1, all images will be encrypted.
* **delete_no_longer_viewed_files :** if set, the images which have not been viewed since `delete_no_longer_viewed_files` days will be deleted by the `script/lutim cron cleanfiles` command
Yup, that's all (Mojolicious magic), it will listen at "http://127.0.0.1:8080".
For more options (interfaces, user, etc.), change the configuration in `lutim.conf` (have a look at http://mojolicio.us/perldoc/Mojo/Server/Hypnotoad#SETTINGS for the available options).
***Warning!!!***
If you want to update to Lutim **0.3**, from a previous version, you'll have to modify the database.
```
sqlite3 lutim.db
PRAGMA writable_schema = 1;
UPDATE SQLITE_MASTER SET SQL = 'CREATE TABLE lutim ( short TEXT PRIMARY KEY, path TEXT, footprint TEXT, enabled INTEGER, mediatype TEXT, filename TEXT, counter INTEGER, delete_at_first_view INTEGER, delete_at_day INTEGER, created_at INTEGER, created_by TEXT, last_access_at INTEGER, mod_token TEXT)' WHERE NAME = 'lutim';
To automatically delete the IP addresses of image's senders after a configurable delay:
```shell
carton exec script/lutim cron cleanbdd
```
### Delete expired files
To automatically delete files which availability delay is over (when you choose that your image will be deleted after 24h / one week / etc.)
If `delete_no_longer_viewed_files`, the files not viewed since `delete_no_longer_viewed_files` days will be deleted too.
```shell
carton exec script/lutim cron cleanfiles
```
### Watch the size of the files directory
To execute an action when the files directory is heavier than `max_total_size`.
The available actions are `warn` and `stop-upload`:
*`warn` prints a message on the standard out (which is normally mailed to you by `cron`) ;
*`stop-upload` prints a message on the standard out and creates the `stop-upload` file which prevents uploading and put a warn on Lutim interface ;
* **DANGEROUS OPTION!!!** `delete` prints a message on the standard out and delete older images until the files directory goes under quota.
If the files directory go under quota, the `stop-upload` file is deleted. If you want to manually prevents uploading, create a file named `stop-upload.manual`.
```shell
carton exec script/lutim cron watch
```
## Broadcast message
Set a string in the `broadcast_message` option of `lutim.conf` and reload the server with:
```shell
carton exec hypnotoad script/lutim
```
It may take a few reloads of page before the message is displayed.
## Encryption
Lutim does encryption on the server if asked to, but does not store the key.
The encryption is made on the server since Lutim is made to be usable even without javascript. If you want to add client-side encryption for javascript-enabled browsers, patches are welcome.
## API
You can add images by using the API. Here's the parameters of the `POST` request to `/` adress:.
* format: json
MANDATORY if you want to get a json response, otherwise it will send a web page
* file: the image file
MANDATORY
* delete-day: number of days you want the image to stay
OPTIONAL if 0, it will be available undefinitely
* first-view: 1
OPTIONAL if not 0, the image will be deleted at first view
Lutim is written in Perl with the [Mojolicious](http://mojolicio.us) framework, uses the [Twitter bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com) framework to look not too ugly, [JQuery](http://jquery.com) and [JQuery File Uploader](https://github.com/danielm/uploader/) (slightly modified) to add some modernity, [Raphaël](http://raphaeljs.com/) and [morris.js](http://www.oesmith.co.uk/morris.js/) for stats graphs and [freezeframe.js](http://freezeframe.chrisantonellis.com/) (slightly modified) to be able to freeze animated gifs in twitter card.
