Tuco is a simple application to store images found on the web in collections.
It is written in node.js using the express framework.
It uses also:
- redis as database.
- jade as template engine.
- less to extend traditional css.
- node-imagemagick to create thumbnails.
- forever to keep the server running even if it crashes somewhere.
You can get them via npm
.
It includes a Firefox plugin to add an option in the contextual window opened clicking the right mouse button on an image. The plugin tries to access Tuco in the address http://localhost:3000 . You may want to change this.
It is more a pet project to learn node and redis than a complete and polished application. Users have not been implemented, but it is still useful for my personal use ;)
After getting all the dependences (don't forget that you need a redis server!), you should be able to run bash launcher.sh tuco.js
tu use forever
or simply node tuco.js
.
