Images.csv

An open source repository of images, and image hosting server.

It consists of:

  • A CSV file, containing a list of images, and torrent_infohashes.
  • An image upload server, that can serve any of those images on demand.

csv columns: image_hash, torrent_infohash, tags, filename, ip

  • Someone runs a server, it has a simple image file upload API.
  • The front end does an image hash check before uploading against a primary images.csv source hosted somewhere.
  • If the hash is new, the upload goes through, and a change to that file is done somehow. The server creates a torrent, and seeds it, and adds that line.
  • if the hash already exists, the server torrents the file, and serves it as an upload.
  • A size_limit is given to make sure the server doesn't seed above a certain limit, and removes older files. Maybe ~100MB by default.
  • Periodic scrapes ensure that everything is always available.
