# PhotoBackup Perl server The Perl implementation of PhotoBackup server. It provides a server and startup script for [PhotoBackup](https://photobackup.github.io/) Android app. It was developed by reading the [API docs](https://github.com/PhotoBackup/api/blob/master/api.raml) and looking at the sourcecode of the [bottle](https://github.com/PhotoBackup/server-bottle) and [flask](https://github.com/PhotoBackup/server-flask) python implementations. ## Usage # Initial setup of server config. photobackup.pl init # Launch server using config. photobackup.pl run ## Description ### new() Constructor. Any args will be added to $self, overriding any defaults. ### init() Create, or recreate the user's config file. The user will be prompted for the following information: Media root - Directory where the pictures will be stored. Server password - The password to use for all HTTP operations. Server port - Defaults to 8420. Some rudimentary checking will be done for valid input. ### config() Read and write server config file. Returns undef if config file doesn't exist, or doesn't hold all required data. The config will be written to ~/.photobackup in INI format. I'm reading and writing this simple INI file manually rather than using a CPAN module so as to reduce the dependencies. ### run() Launch the PhotoBackup web service using config from the conf file. ### stop() Kill any running PhotoBackup web service. ### app() Return the PSGI application subref. ## License Copyright (C) 2015 Dave Webb.
