alexandria

version 1.0.2

GO Image Storage and Retrieval API using Gin

Made with images in mind, but I guess aside from compression it can handle most if not all file types.

Software Requirements

• Go
• imagecomp

Go Dependancies

• go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin
• go get github.com/rs/xid

Run

• go run ./
• go build -o alexandria && ./alexandria

Todo:

• Upload
• Retrieval
• Compression
• Verify deployment integrity (Creates necessary project folders)
• Check if file is png or jpg for compression
• Add uploads to queue, so they can be compressed while the http request is finished
• Implement a proper job queue
• Allow a limit to be put on the amount of simultaneous image compressions.
• Tests
• Function that processes job queue on startup
• Add logging to all errors
• Upload multiple files at once
• Check if image already exists in storage
  • By filename
  • Using ImageMagick
• Allow for optional compression
• Rate limit
• Add support for other file types
• Process temporary folder into queue on start up
• Add metadata signalling when image has been compressed
• Process queue folder by checking metadata on start up
• Add clear state command
