A command-line image repository program!

Supports:

• Bulk uploading, downloading, and deletion of image files
• Public images discoverable and downloadable by other users
• Private images discoverable and downloadable only by you

Requirements

Python 3

This program was tested using Python 3.9.5.

Pyrebase

Install via terminal: pip install pyrebase

Usage

To run: python src/main.py

Place images you would like to upload in the /upload folder. Images will be downloaded to /download.

Except during login, users are referred to by the part of their email before the @, i.e. pytest for pytest@pytest.com.

uploadpath and downloadpath parameters can be changed in firebase_controller.py.

To run unit tests ensure pytest.jpg has not been deleted from /upload, and that uploadpath and downloadpath are at default values.
