Intended as an accompaniment to RandomWallpaperGnome3, this micro-ish service serves up the wallpaper images from a local directory.

Currently it will resize images on the fly, as well as add a border to the image that is the mean colour in the image.

As simple as:

docker run \
  -p <Port on host machine>:5000 \
  -v <Path to directory of backgrounds>:/data/backgrounds \
  --detach --restart always \
  --name wallpaper_server \
  gordonei/wallpaper_server:latest

1. Change to this directory.
2. Install python dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Run the service PYTHONPATH=. python3 wallpaper_server/server.py

NB this will serve up to any host that contacts it on port 5000.

1. Open the Settings menu, go to the Wallpaper Sources table.
2. Fill in the following settings:
   1. Select the Generc JSON option from the drop down menu.
   2. Make the Request URL field http://127.0.0.1:<port on host machine>/?resolution=<desired resolution, e.g. 3840x2160>
   3. Make the JSON Path field $.backgrounds[@random]
   4. Make the Image URL prefix field http://127.0.0.1:<port on host machine>/backgrounds/
